After confirming the first Australian Topgolf® venue to launch adjacent to Warner Bros. Movie World on the Gold Coast, Village Roadshow has announced it will be expediting its expansion plans across Australia and APAC.
Already receiving a number of enquiries to date, Village Entertainment CEO Kirk Edwards confirmed that a number of location submissions had been encouraging.
“We plan to open eight venues across Australia and key APAC territories, and have been delighted to hear from multiple operators of both new and existing developments across Australia. Enquiries to date have ranged from existing driving ranges to major shopping centres to completely new and untouched locations.” Mr. Edwards commented.
Edwards explained that Topgolf was founded in 2000 and has enjoyed enormous success in both the United States and the United Kingdom. The business has already established 37 locations in the United States and three in the United Kingdom, with additional venues under development across Canada, Mexico and in the United Arab Emirates. Edwards went on to comment that through the premium experience of play, food and music, Topgolf is inspiring people of all ages and skill levels- even non-golfers- to come together for playful competition. Guests can enjoy point scoring golf games using microchipped balls that instantly score themselves, showing players the accuracy and distance of their shots on a TV screen in their hitting bay. The venues also feature an outstanding chef-driven menu, top shelf drinks, big screen TVs and music in climate-controlled hitting bays for all-seasons comfort. Year-round programming includes events for kids and families, social leagues, golf tournaments, golf instruction and move.
