About the company

Topgolf uses high-tech driving ranges that blend golf with social entertainment. Players hit microchipped balls into targets to score points based on distance and accuracy, playing in bays that are charged by time. Venues combine sport with dining, drinks, and event spaces to create a social experience for families, friends, corporate groups, and golf enthusiasts. Compared with traditional golf or purely entertainment venues, Topgolf differentiates itself by integrating technology, a social atmosphere, and variety of revenue streams (venue time, food and beverage, events, and merchandise) into one experiential offering. The company’s goal is to grow its footprint by delivering scalable, engaging entertainment experiences that mix sport, technology, and hospitality across more locations both in the U.S. and internationally.

Topgolf revamps event offerings ahead of 2026 holiday season.

Topgolf revamps event offerings ahead of 2026 holiday season. Sep 29, 2026, 09:00 ET Refreshed menu lineup, a new group competition game and streamlined catering operations mark the venue's biggest events evolution in years DALLAS, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Topgolf, the ultimate sports, entertainment and golf destination, is rolling out a refresh of its event offerings, introducing four new signature event menus, a new interactive team competition game, and a series of operational upgrades designed to give meeting and event planners more flexibility while elevating food quality and service for corporate groups, holiday parties and social gatherings. Since its inception, Topgolf has redefined what a party or group event can be, combining sport, entertainment and hospitality into a single, unforgettable experience. This rollout marks Topgolf's first major update to its event menu program in recent years, arriving just ahead of peak holiday booking season. "Events are core to the Topgolf experience, and this update takes that experience to the next level, right as we head into our busiest events season of the year," said David McKillips, CEO at Topgolf. "This evolution gives planners more flexibility and a smoother experience from booking to the last bite. These enhancements, paired with an elevated culinary program and streamlined execution, will continue to set Topgolf apart as the ultimate venue for celebrations, corporate events and everything in between." New Signature Event Menus Topgolf is replacing its legacy event menu with four newly developed, chef-driven buffet concepts, each designed around fresh, customizable formats rather than pre-fixed menus: * Modern Mediterranean: a build-your-own salad and bowl bar featuring choices like chicken shawarma, grilled steak and lemon butter shrimp alongside fresh Mediterranean sides and sauces. * Cantina Kitchen: a southwest-inspired taco, nacho and bowl bar with chicken tinga and fajita beef protein options. * Taste of Topgolf: crowd favorite shareables that include sliders and a Roman-crust pizza spread spanning global flavors, with vegetarian options. * Chef's Table: a premium, chef-crafted entrée menu featuring options like beef tenderloin and buttery herb salmon, positioned for milestone celebrations and executive events. Event planners can customize menus further with a new à la carte list of add-on proteins, sliders, sides and whole pizzas. The list includes gluten-friendly, vegan and vegetarian options, making it easier to accommodate dietary needs across a group. New Interactive Team Competition Game and Entertainment Beyond the Bays Covered, climate-controlled bays keep game play comfortable year-round, rain, cold or heat, while proprietary games make every guest a participant regardless of golf experience. Alongside the new menus, Topgolf is introducing a fully refreshed TopContender experience, now completely tech-enabled and redesigned to give corporate and social groups a more competitive, connected way to play. The updated format supports both team and individual scoring, with guests able to scan a QR code at the end of the game to see instant results across their entire group, even when spread across multiple bays. Groups can also connect and compete against other Topgolf locations, whether across town or across the country. Groups can now extend the fun beyond the bay with new arcade experiences. From interactive augmented darts experiences in bar and lounge spaces to family-friendly arcades and redemption game rooms designed to engage guests of all ages, each venue has a curated offering of sports and arcade classics, racing and driving games, immersive experiences, redemption games and family favorites. Limited-Time Holiday Menus and Promotions For the 2026 holiday season, Topgolf is debuting two new limited-time menus available October 28, 2026 through January 31, 2027: * Holiday Taste of Topgolf: the full Taste of Topgolf menu plus four seasonal additions, including Prime Rib Sliders and Lobster Mac and Cheese. * Festive Fare: a curated, pre-fixed holiday menu featuring Prime Rib Sliders, Lobster Mac and Cheese, Coconut Shrimp, Chicken Potstickers, Italian Meatballs and a Holiday Dessert Duo of mini beignets and churro bites. To add to the merriment of the season, Topgolf is also offering several holiday promotions for group bookings: * Holiday Bonus Card: Guests attending a Topgolf holiday event between November 1 and December 31 will receive a $15 game play bonus card, redeemable through March 31, 2027, giving groups an easy incentive to come back and play again after their event. * Merry Mondays: Groups booking a 2+ bay holiday party on a Monday in December will receive half-off game play, available at all U.S. Topgolf venues for events hosted November 30 through December 28. * Fore the Holidays Early Bird Incentives: Planners booking a holiday party for 25+ guests between November 30 and December 30 by October 31 will have the opportunity to pick an exclusive perk for their event. Elevated Catering Operations To support the new menus, Topgolf has also introduced venue-wide operational upgrades including new event tables that remain on the Teeline and eliminate the need for linens and storage transport, modernized buffet displays and serving equipment, and a revised service model. Buffets will now be set up and maintained by a dedicated Service Support Lead. This shift from the previous model will allow event staff to focus on guest experience. Topgolf is also increasing buffet frequency to one buffet per 30 guests, up from one per 50, to improve freshness and reduce wait times. Availability The new year-round event menus are now available for booking for events hosted October 28, 2026, and beyond. Holiday menus and promotions are available for events hosted October 28, 2026, through January 31, 2027. Full menu details, including pricing, are available through Topgolf's sales team and updated digital event guides at topgolf.com/us/plan-an-event.

Topgolf announces Family Entertainment Group as new arcade partner across nearly 100 u.s. Venues.

Topgolf announces Family Entertainment Group as new arcade partner across nearly 100 u.s. Venues. Sep 01, 2026, 09:00 ET DALLAS, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Sports entertainment leader, Topgolf announced today a new partnership with Family Entertainment Group (FEG), naming the seasoned entertainment operator as its newest arcade partner across nearly 100 Topgolf venues throughout the United States. The phased rollout, which began in June and will continue through December 2026, will expand Topgolf's all-day entertainment offerings with custom-designed arcade and game-room experiences tailored to each venue's local market, following a successful pilot at seven locations that delivered strong guest response. The collaboration represents another step in Topgolf's continued investment in creating more engaging, all-day entertainment destinations. By bringing FEG's expertise in designing and operating best-in-class arcade experiences to Topgolf venues nationwide, Topgolf will continue to evolve each venue with entertainment offerings tailored to its guests and local market. "At Topgolf, we're always looking for ways to elevate the guest experience and really be the Ultimate Sports, Entertainment and Golf Destination," said David McKillips, Chief Executive Officer of Topgolf. "Bringing Family Entertainment Group into nearly 100 of our venues adds another way to play and connect. By thoughtfully curating experiences for each location, we're giving our guests even more reasons to visit, stay longer and create memorable moments with family and friends." FEG is recognized as one of the industry's leading developers and operators of entertainment attractions, with decades of experience creating immersive arcade and amusement experiences in family entertainment centers, resorts, casinos and hospitality destinations around the world. "Topgolf built one of the most innovative venues in hospitality," added Rex Jackson, CEO of FEG. "FEG builds the games expertise that goes inside it. Bringing those together across 94 locations is the kind of partnership that raises the guest experience for both of us." Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Topgolf and FEG will customize each location's entertainment mix - from interactive augmented darts experiences in bar and lounge spaces to family-friendly arcades and redemption game rooms designed to engage guests of all ages. The flexible approach ensures every venue delivers an entertainment experience that complements its unique guest demographic while expanding opportunities for play beyond the hitting bays. The nationwide expansion follows a successful pilot program launched in May 2026 at seven Topgolf venues - Dallas, Fort Worth, The Colony and Grand Prairie, Texas; Orlando and Lake Mary, Florida; and Buford, Georgia - where FEG-curated arcade and game-room experiences were tailored to each location's guest profile. Guest response to the pilot was overwhelmingly positive, giving Topgolf and FEG the confidence to scale the program across 94 venues nationwide. The rollout of FEG-managed entertainment experiences is underway across participating Topgolf locations nationwide, with each installation thoughtfully designed to complement the venue, its guests and the overall Topgolf experience. As Topgolf continues to innovate and diversify its entertainment offerings, this partnership underscores the company's ongoing commitment to creating destinations where great food, golf, games and unforgettable moments come together under one roof. Arcade Game Lineup Drawing on results from the pilot program, FEG is curating a mix of arcade, redemption and immersive games for each venue. The lineup varies by location, but commonly includes: * Sports & Arcade Classics: Golden Tee PGA Tour, NBA Superstars, World Football Pro, World Cup Tournament, Quarterback Pro, Chexx Hockey, Hyper Pitch, Sink It, Pop-A-Shot Basketball (Tournament), Air Hockey, Jet Darts, Open Ice Quad and Step Maniax * Racing & Driving: Daytona, Super Bikes 3, Cruis'n Blast, Fast N' Furious and Jackpot Racers * Immersive & Themed Experiences: Halo (Fireteam, Raven and 2-player tethered formats), Jurassic Park Environmental and Angry Birds Boom * Redemption & Family Favorites: Toy Box Mega, Toy Box 4-Player LCD, Photoma photo booth, Duck Depot, Candy Ticket, Vortex Max XL Crane, E Claw 900, Hit the Spot, Ice Ball, Mega Shot, Connect 4 Deluxe and Grand Piano Keys * Bar & Lounge Exclusives: Pabst Purrfect Pour PBR and Topgolf Medallion Vending About Topgolf Topgolf is the ultimate instigator of play. Thanks to our 100+ venues around the globe, which are powered by industry-leading Toptracer technology, we're leading the charge of modern golf.

Homes for sale in the Coachella Valley.

Homes for sale in the Coachella Valley. Community August 23, 2026 Topgolf Swing Suites are now open at the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa in Indian Wells, and it's a notable addition to a resort corridor that keeps building on itself. The suites bring tech-driven golf simulation indoors, which matters a lot out here when summer temperatures make outdoor activity impractical for months at a time. What the Topgolf Swing Suites at Renaissance Esmeralda actually offer. The Topgolf Swing Suites are private, climate-controlled rooms where guests use simulator technology to play virtual golf courses, golf-based games, and other sports simulations. Reservations are typically made by the hour, and the suites work for small groups. Because the experience is entirely indoors at a full-service resort, weather doesn't factor in. That's a real selling point in a place where July and August regularly top 110 degrees. For valley residents, this fills a specific gap. The Coachella Valley has no shortage of outdoor golf, spa access, and seasonal events. What it has historically lacked is a strong roster of indoor entertainment options that work on a Wednesday in August. Topgolf Swing Suites are now open in Indian Wells specifically at a property that already draws resort guests, so the built-in traffic is there from day one. What this signals about investment in the valley's hospitality corridor. The Renaissance Esmeralda sits along the Highway 111 corridor in Indian Wells, surrounded by properties in Palm Desert, La Quinta, and Rancho Mirage. When a resort of this caliber adds a Topgolf concept, it reflects confidence in the valley as a year-round destination, not just a winter season market. That matters to homeowners in nearby communities. Resort-area amenities support the broader appeal of the valley to visitors and relocating buyers alike. More hospitality investment generally correlates with sustained demand for short-term rentals, second homes, and long-term residential properties in the surrounding zip codes. If you own near the resort corridor and have been wondering what your home is worth in this market, that context is worth factoring in. Find out what your home is worth What this means for you. - Valley residents now have an indoor, climate-controlled entertainment option at a resort property that's open beyond the winter season. - The addition reflects continued hospitality investment along the Highway 111 corridor, which supports property demand in surrounding neighborhoods. - Short-term rental owners near Indian Wells benefit when resort-area amenities give visitors more reasons to book stays year-round. - Buyers considering the valley as a primary or secondary residence can point to this kind of amenity growth as evidence the market continues to attract development dollars. The Coachella Valley has always had strong seasonal appeal. What's changed over the past several years is the push to make it function as a true year-round destination. Topgolf Swing Suites being open in Indian Wells is one more piece of that. For residents, it's a new place to spend an evening. For the broader market, it's one more signal that investment here isn't slowing down. If you're tracking what's happening across the valley, the Craft & Bauer blog covers community development, market updates, and local context on a regular basis. Feel free to reach out if you want to talk through what any of it means for your specific situation. I'm always happy to have that conversation. Frequently asked questions. Where exactly are the Topgolf Swing Suites located in Indian Wells? The Topgolf Swing Suites are located inside the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa in Indian Wells, along the Highway 111 corridor. The resort is a well-established full-service property in the heart of the valley's resort district. Does this kind of resort amenity affect home values in nearby communities? Direct causation is hard to isolate, but hospitality investment in a corridor does support sustained demand from buyers and renters who value proximity to resort-area amenities. Homeowners near Indian Wells and the surrounding resort corridor can use that demand context when evaluating their property's position in the market. Find out what your home is worth Are Topgolf Swing Suites open to the public or only hotel guests? Topgolf Swing Suites at resort properties are typically available to both hotel guests and outside visitors by reservation, though policies can vary by property. Contact the Renaissance Esmeralda directly to confirm current availability and booking options for non-hotel guests. Watch the video. Shana Gates.
