Its official....Top Golf is coming to Greensboro at Bridford Pkwy and Guilford College Rd just off of I-40. Total average is 30 but the parcels will also include hotels and indoor entertainment venues so all together this will be more than just an isolated Top Golf.

Glad to see this become official. I wonder what other entertainment is in the works.
Yes I'm curious as well....more than likely the Top Golf itself will probably not have 100 bays. It would probably be a 3 level Top Golf with 70 bays like in Greenville, SC which is still very large. Honestly I dont care. A difference of 30 bays doesn't make one better over the other....This is Top Golf! This is very exciting because usually Top Golfs don't include hotels and other entertainment venues. They are mostly isolated venues. It's a great area to build one. There are already other entertainment venues nearby such as Celebration Station, Spare Time Bowling Alley, Wendover Ave retail, and both PTI and the Koury Convention Center are a short drive away. I think economic news like Boom and Toyota coming to the Greensboro area helped seal the deal. Top Golf is an amenity that will in part help attract other companies. Companies look at the quality of life in cities and their amenities. When you add the Tanger Center, downtown revival, other attractions, parks, low cost of living, Greensboro is becoming an attractive city to set up shop for companies. 25 years ago Greensboro was nicknamed Greensboring. Haven't heard that in years. Greensbooming has recently become a nickname for the city. I do know the city of Greensboro has been working on luring Top Golf for three years. It was suspected early this year when a South Carolina developer who builds Top Golfs purchased 30 acres at Guilford College Rd, Bridford Pkwy and I-40. Now we finally know and Triad residents will no longer have to drive to Charlotte or Raleigh.
According to the Triad Business Journal the 8 acres of the 30 acres set aside for Top Golf would likely be on the small side so we are probably looking at a roughly 50 bay venue. The average for 70 bays is 13 acres. But then again it could still be more. Interestingly the Las Vegas Top Golf sits on 8 acres also and it has 4 levels and 100 bays. So we won't know the exact number of bays until more details are released. But like I said the size is not what matters, we are getting a Top Golf and the other acres will include what most Top Golfs don't have such as hotels and other entertainment venues on site.
I'm pretty sure the hotels and other entertainment venues referred to in the WGHP article are the existing hotels and venues around the 40/wendover and 40/Guilford College interchanges. Of course I could be wrong.

They are referring to new development on the remaining 30 acres. Top Golf will be the "anchor" of the development. I think that's what makes it more exciting. It won't be a typical stand alone venue.
Dont forget the exotic carwash near by ;p.. no round of golfs complete without a spin thru it ... lol.. anyway woulr be nice if they were walking about new hotels being built and not the ones currently in aera...
That's why I thought this would actually go in the empty spot next to the Farmers Market since it's a bit more central to the Triad (though as I speculated in the other thread, I wonder if that would be an FAA issue with the airport nearby).
That said, Top Golf usually picks one spot per medium sized metro. Even Hampton Roads which is larger than the Triad and split into 7 cities only has one (on the Western end of VA Beach, close to the line with Norfolk).

I thought that would have been a good, more centralized location too. But the spot they picked is still only 23 minutes from downtown Winston.
