ST. LOUIS – Hundreds gathered at Topgolf’s new Midtown location for its grand opening celebrations Friday evening.

The new venue is expected to draw at least 600,000 participants each year, generate $2 million in annual sales tax, and create around 500 new jobs.

Topgolf has a wide selection of fifteen golf games that utilize mirco-chipped balls and toptracer technology to keep track of every shot. The facility provides free Wi-Fi, a 28-foot video wall, more than 200 HDTvs, plus a bar and restaurant.

“Anybody can come to a Topgolf and have fun,” said Tommy Fernandez. “You don’t have to be a pro golfer or never played golf before. It’s just all about having fun.”
