Topgolf's 91st global venue is located
at 120 Sockanosset Cross Road in Cranston, Rhode Island
DALLAS, Oct. 2, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Modern golf entertainment leader Topgolf
announced today it will open its first Rhode Island venue on Friday, Oct. 6.
The Basics
- What is Topgolf? A sports entertainment experience that
features high-tech golf, food, drinks, music and a good time. Think
of it as a place where anyone can participate in the game of golf
in a relaxed, no-pressure environment. You'll take aim at giant
targets on the field while playing virtual courses or Topgolf's
signature games like Angry Birds – and so you know, Topgolf
celebrates the bad shots just as much as the beautiful swings.
- Roughly five miles from downtown Providence, Topgolf Rhode Island is located at
120 Sockanosset Cross Road in the city of Cranston.
- This will be Topgolf's first venue in Rhode Island and New England overall.
- The opening of Topgolf Rhode Island on Oct. 6 marks the company's 81st outdoor
venue in the U.S. and 91st globally.
- The venue will employ roughly 500 Playmakers (aka employees) –
think bay hosts, bartenders, ball picker upper people, etc.
It's Golf
- Topgolf Rhode Island will feature 102 outdoor
climate-controlled (ahem, heated!) hitting bays spanning three
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 to impress your friends.
- Bonus: On Tuesdays, game play is half-off!
- Players can even partake in lessons through Topgolf's Coach
program, led by the venue's Director of Instruction.
It's Not Golf
- Topgolf takes its "not golf" very seriously. That's why a
full-service restaurant manned by executive chefs, 28-foot video
wall, rooftop terrace, more than 200 HDTVs, music and year-round
family-friendly programming is just as much a part of the Topgolf
experience.
- Private event rooms provide the ideal location for team
outings, family gatherings, meetings or really anything Players are
looking to celebrate.
What They Said
- Topgolf Chief Operating Officer Gen Gray: "The opening of our
Rhode Island venue is a huge
milestone for us as it marks our entry into New England. We can't
wait to welcome the community and introduce the locals to our style
of play, which welcomes golfers and non-golfers alike!"
- Rhode Island Governor
Dan McKee: "This venue will bring a
new era of entertainment and leisure activities to Rhode Island, promising not only a fun
opportunity for families and friends, but also jobs and economic
growth for the community. I would like to thank the Carpionato
Group, Mayor Hopkins and the city of Cranston for their work to bring Topgolf to
our state. As an avid golfer myself, I can't wait to try it
out."
- Cranston Mayor Ken Hopkins: "We could not be more excited for
Topgolf Rhode Island to open its doors in Cranston. This will be the greatest sports and
family entertainment venue to hit the state since the closing of
Rocky Point."
- K. MacArthur Coates, President and CEO of Carpionato Group:
"Topgolf's entry to Rhode Island
is about more than just sport and leisure, it is about helping to
build our economy. Topgolf is a destination attraction that will
bring convention business to Rhode
Island, and it will also serve as a place where
businesspeople collaborate, innovate and deal-make over shared
experiences. In deciding how to repurpose this property on
Sockanosset Cross Road, we deliberately looked for a partner that
would differentiate Rhode Island,
would help to grow business in our state and create ancillary
spending and new jobs at both Chapel View and Garden City. We are confident we have the
right partner to accomplish our goals. State and city officials
worked to make this happen – hats off to them for helping us to
secure the first Topgolf in New England."
