Wow! I would have thought Memphis had a TopGolf for years now. Noticed today while driving out of Knoxville that there is what appears to be a new TopGolf going up along I-40/75 around the Pellissippi junction... and I thought there had been one nearby for years. I think that was just a driving range with high nets.

Top Golf has been in most major cities for years now. Nashville’s Top Golf opened at least 10 years ago. Looks like this one in East Memphis.

No, Top Golf hasn't been in most major cities for years now.  This Top Golf will sit on 22 acres  and it will be part of a 150 acre  mixed use development.  I am sure it will be like no other Top Golf that has ever been constructed.

Agreed most of them are on 13 acres so 22 is huge also that complex around it will be amazing

Originally maybe 2016-2017 we were supposed to have one. A few old articles was saying that they was searching for space close to Downtown. I believe if they were just open to areas outside of Downtown initially like now, it would of been here a few years already. 

Side note the ceo of TOPGOLF is from Memphis

Top Golf officially confirmed

[TheKernel91]

Glad it's official now. The comments on The Commercial Appeal Facebook page is crazy. Even other local news facebook pages. Sometimes "Memphians" can be so negative. 

I honestly don't see how they are saying it's a bad location. This one woman said that the area is run down and this will  be too in no time?? I'm lost. I don't consider anything east of Quince, Winchester run down. Maybe my standards are different,  but y'all should read them.

This location is less than a mile from Fed Ex world headquarters which sites on a golf course. Also 1 mile from germantown, about 3 from collierville, easy access to olive branch and byhalia plus east memphis.  Pretty much seems like they are in the center of the golfing community lol.  This development like everything else will do fine.

Yeah, those Facebook comments were pretty ridiculous.  Right down the road from Southwind and Windyke.

This is great to see and long overdue for the Memphis area. I went to Top Golf's site a short bit ago, but it's still not listed under Tennessee as "coming soon." Maybe it's not soon enough for an open date, to be listed. LOL

I haven't seen any talk or announcement of any other development nearby.  I'm sure they will be marketing adjacent land, but haven't seen anything on it.

The start of construction on a Top Golf is certainly important news for Memphis. Impressive.

Agreed, it is important for the status and growth of a city to have a development of this nature here. It will help boost tourism to the city.

It’s been a long time coming!! Glad it’s breaking ground 

[smeagolsfree]

I am a little disappointed it is not closer to downtown, but I understand why and where it is going. The closer it is to Olive Branch the better I suppose, but it will be out in the boonies a bit. It is the nature of the beast so to speak.

This was the last this information I seen on it. Before anyone knew it was TopGolf, news reported it as mini golf was apart of a mixed-use development. Polo Grounds North Development

Only a few locations of TopGolf has miniature golf/putt-putt that I know of (Vineyard, Richmond, Chattanooga, Dallas.)  There may be a few others.  I have no idea if the Memphis location will or won't have it.  But, I think the author of that article misused the term just due to their lack of knowledge.  They probably didn't know what to call it, so just went with mini golf.  It's not a golf course, and not putt-putt/mini golf.  I think technically, it's a driving range with games, but golf entertainment venue is probably the best term.

I am curious if GBT is still involved with this. They have very deep pockets and are Nashville based and are doing some large developments here. They have some big-time investors backing them and they have around 8 billion in properties they have under management. I would not be surprised if you do not see more of them in Memphis.

They are shifting from suburban to urban development and are the ones that purchased the main Beaman site on Broadway in Nashville.
