Forget praying you’ll be lucky enough to stroll down Magnolia Lane with a foursome waiting in the wings, there’s now a tee time available for everyone in Augusta, Ga. After a lengthy construction period, Topgolf Augusta has officially opened its doors some two miles from the Masters’ home.
The first-of-its-kind facility is only one story tall, a stark change from Topgolf’s traditional hulking, multiple story blueprints. While there are still 36 hitting bays at Topgolf Augusta, the design’s smaller footprint lowers the building’s profile and helps cut costs. But Topgolf aficionados needn’t fear, the facility still features all of the traditional amenities provided, including range games, restaurant service and Toptracer technology.
The venue was initially expected to open in time for the Masters in April, but construction changes brought about by the spread of COVID-19 forced the company to push back its opening date.
