Modern golf entertainment leader Topgolf announced that it will open its first venue in Mississippi, Topgolf Ridgeland, on Dec. 20. It will be Topgolf's 108th global outdoor venue and will employ about 200.
Topgolf Ridgeland features a nine-hole mini-golf course and 62 outdoor climate-controlled hitting bays. The venue is located 11 miles north of downtown Jackson off Interstate 55 in Ridgeland at 102 Topgolf Way.
Topgolf Ridgeland's 62 hitting bays span 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. In addition to signature gameplay, Topgolf Ridgeland will feature a nine-hole mini-golf course.
Developed in partnership with SEGA®, Topgolf's newest game is Sonic the Hedgehog™. Players can aim at giant outfield targets to hit springs, collect rings and take down badniks in iconic virtual Sonic environments, designed with all skill levels in mind.
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.
The venue will have a full-service bar and restaurant helmed by executive chefs serves Player favorites like the injectable donut holes and cheesy macaroni bites. A 22-foot video wall, more than 100 HDTVs, an outdoor patio, games, music and year-round family-friendly programming round out the Topgolf experience. Private event rooms are prime spots for team outings, family gatherings, meetings or really anything Players are looking to celebrate.

Additionally, I'm proud to share that one of Topgolf's priorities is to give back to the communities they serve, whether providing unique opportunities for local schools, retirement communities or charitable giving endeavors. Topgolf's decision to call Ridgeland home reaffirms our city's appeal and our continued growth."
