Topgolf Glasgow set to be first venue in Scotland and fourth in the UK as construction progresses
Topgolf Entertainment Group has today confirmed it is targeting a late 2022 opening for its new state-of-the-art venue in Glasgow.
This venue will be the first to introduce Topgolf’s signature, technology-enabled experience to Scotland. Glasgow will be home to Topgolf’s fourth UK site, adding to a list of over 70 venues operating in six countries, which attract over 30 million players per year combined.
Construction has been progressing well at the future Topgolf Glasgow venue, with UK property company Ashfield Land leading the development at its Two 74 site. The three-level venue, located just off the M74 near Rutherglen, is expected to employ more than 300 Associates once open. It is part of Clyde Gateway, Scotland’s biggest and most ambitious regeneration programme.
Topgolf was born in the UK
The UK is where the Topgolf journey began in 2000, when two brothers set out to make a driving range in London more fun, and it turned into one of the world's fastest-growing sports and entertainment brands.
Topgolf Vice President of International Steve Lane, said:
“The UK holds a special place in our hearts as it’s where our Topgolf story began. It seems very apt that the next leg of our journey takes us to Scotland, the original home of golf. The Glasgow venue will be like nothing the country has ever seen. We’re thrilled to kick-off this development together with our partners at Ashfield and introduce a venue where friends and families can safely play together and share experiences.”
Steven McGarva, Development Director at Ashfield Land, said:
“We’re proud to be working with Topgolf to deliver its first attraction in Scotland, the home of golf, here at our Two 74 Glasgow development. The unique attraction is really starting to take shape and we’re pleased with how construction is progressing. The new Topgolf will create approximately 300 new jobs and we look forward to it opening to the people of Glasgow later this year. I’m sure it’ll be a huge success.”
