Topgolf Has Swinging Plans for Viera

January 8, 2025 – Looks like an exciting new entertainment venue will soon move in near The Avenue Viera. Still in the planning stages, Topgolf is looking to bring a $28 million golf and entertainment center located east of the AMC movie theater and west of Interstate 95.

Not a golfer? That doesn’t appear to be an important part of enjoying the experience. Since it’s still in the planning stage, some of the following features may not be available at the Viera location, but here’s how Topgolf describes what they do:

Topgolf Basics

• Never been to a Topgolf venue? Think of it as a modern golf experience where anyone – including people who have never picked up a golf club and those who want to perfect their swing – can participate in the sport in a relaxed, no-pressure environment.
• The venue will employ roughly 200 Playmakers (aka employees) – think bay hosts, bartenders, ball-picker-upper people, etc.
• Can’t swing a golf club to save your life? You’ll be in good company. Topgolf celebrates the bad shots just as much as the beautiful swings.

It’s Golf

• Topgolf will feature outdoor climate-controlled hitting bays spanning two levels. Each bay has lounge-type furniture or high-top tables where groups can cheer – or heckle – the other Players.
• Venues are equipped with Topgolf’s Toptracer technology, which traces each golf ball’s flight path, distance and other cool metrics.
• In addition to signature gameplay, Topgolf features a brand new nine-hole mini-golf course to amplify the fun.
• Developed in partnership with SEGA®, Topgolf’s newest game, Sonic the Hedgehog™, brings the fun for everyone! Players can aim at giant outfield targets to hit springs, collect rings and take down badniks in iconic virtual Sonic environments, designed with all skill levels in mind.
• Players can even partake in lessons through Topgolf’s Coach program, led by the venue’s Director of Instruction, or play with the same clubs as the pros with the Club Upgrade option.

It’s Not Golf

• Topgolf takes its “not golf” very seriously. What we mean: A full-service bar and restaurant helmed by executive chefs serves Player favorites like the injectable donut holes and cheesy macaroni bites.
• A video wall, HDTVs, an outdoor patio, games, music and year-round family-friendly programming round out the Topgolf experience.
• Private event rooms are prime spots for team outings, family gatherings, meetings or really anything Players are looking to celebrate.

With more than 100 outdoor Topgolf venues around the world, it seems the company knows how to get people in the swing of things even if they have never yelled, “Fore”, before. Read more about the project and how the company supports the community in the Florida Today article.
