Topgolf, Entertainment complex in Southwest Charlotte, United States
Topgolf is a multi-level dining and entertainment venue in Charlotte, North Carolina, where guests hit microchipped golf balls toward large targets on an outdoor outfield from covered bays. Each bay has its own screen that displays the score in real time, so players can follow the game as it unfolds.
The format was created in 2000 in Watford, England, as a way to make golf more accessible to people who had no interest in playing on a full course. The Charlotte location opened as part of a broad expansion across the United States that took off in the 2010s.
Topgolf turns golf into a casual social activity that anyone can join, regardless of experience, making it popular for group outings and celebrations. The setting feels closer to a sports bar than a golf course, which draws people who would never set foot on a traditional fairway.
Bays can be reserved by the hour and fit several players at once, with golf clubs available at no extra cost. Booking ahead is a good idea, especially on weekends and evenings when demand tends to be higher.
The upper-level bays look out directly over the Charlotte skyline, so the view becomes part of the experience in a way most visitors do not expect. On the rooftop, fire pits stay lit in cooler months, making that outdoor section usable well into the fall.
