development in West Des
Moines
DALLAS, Aug. 22,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Modern golf entertainment leader
Topgolf announced today it will open its first venue in
Iowa, Topgolf Des Moines, on
Sept. 6. This is Topgolf's
101st global outdoor venue.
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 is located at 7655 Mills Civic Parkway on the corner
of Jordan Creek Parkway and Mills Civic Parkway within the
West Des Moines city limits.
- The venue employs roughly 300 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.
- Topgolf's new golf club, The Sure Thing, is designed to make
golf less hard for beginners or those whose game isn't that
great.
It's Golf
- Topgolf Des Moines features 72 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.
- The venue is equipped with Topgolf's Toptracer technology,
which traces each golf ball's flight path, distance and other cool
metrics.
- Players aim at giant targets on the field while playing virtual
courses or Topgolf's new game, Block Party! A game designed for
everyone, Block Party helps level the playing field since
the whole outfield is scorable. (That means first-timers have an
excellent shot at beating more seasoned Players!).
- 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.
- Snag the latest and greatest Chrome Tour golf balls available
for purchase in the lobby before heading out!
It's Not Golf
- Topgolf takes its "not golf" very seriously. What we mean: A
full-service restaurant and bar helmed by executive chefs serving
up Player favorites like the injectable donut holes and cheesy
macaroni bites.
- A 22-foot video wall, more than 100 HDTVs, an outdoor patio,
music and year-round family-friendly programming round out the
Topgolf experience.
- Semi-private event rooms are prime spots for team outings,
family gatherings, meetings or really anything Players are looking
to celebrate.
What They Said
- Topgolf COO Erin
Chamberlin: "We are thrilled to bring the first Topgolf
experience to Iowa and the greater
Des Moines metropolitan area.
Topgolf is all about having fun and making the game of golf
accessible to everyone – even the most inexperienced Player! We're
excited for residents and visitors alike to experience our unique
style of play."
- West Des Moines Mayor
Russ Trimble: "We are so proud
to have the first ever Topgolf in the state of Iowa here in West
Des Moines! This game-changing entertainment venue will draw
even more people into our city and will provide our residents with
yet another fun activity for the whole family to enjoy."
- Hurd Real Estate Founder & President Richard Hurd: "As President of Hurd Real
Estate, I am excited to announce the opening of the first Topgolf
facility in Iowa! This new
state-of-the-art facility will be located across the street from
Jordan Creek Mall at 7655 Mills Civic Parkway, West Des Moines, IA. The addition of Topgolf
to the existing lifestyle uses in this trade area is a testament to
the strength of the West Des

exciting new retailer to the Des
Moines metropolitan community!"
