DALLAS, Aug. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Modern golf entertainment leader Topgolf announced today it will open its first venue in Iowa, Topgolf Des Moines, on Sept. 6. This is Topgolf’s 101^st global outdoor venue.

Topgolf Basics

Never been to a Topgolf venue? Think of it as a modern golf experience where anyone – including people who have never picked up a golf club and those who want to perfect their swing – can participate in the sport in a relaxed, no-pressure environment.
The venue is located at 7655 Mills Civic Parkway on the corner of Jordan Creek Parkway and Mills Civic Parkway within the West Des Moines city limits.
The venue employs roughly 300 Playmakers (aka employees) – think bay hosts, bartenders, ball picker upper people, etc.
Can’t swing a golf club to save your life? You’ll be in good company. Topgolf celebrates the bad shots just as much as the beautiful swings.
Topgolf’s new golf club, The Sure Thing, is designed to make golf less hard for beginners or those whose game isn’t that great.

It’s Golf

Topgolf Des Moines features 72 outdoor climate-controlled hitting bays spanning 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.
Players aim at giant targets on the field while playing virtual courses or Topgolf’s new game, Block Party! A game designed for everyone, Block Party helps level the playing field since the whole outfield is scorable. (That means first-timers have an excellent shot at beating more seasoned Players!).
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.

It’s Not Golf

Topgolf takes its “not golf” very seriously. What we mean: A full-service restaurant and bar helmed by executive chefs serving up Player favorites like the injectable donut holes and cheesy macaroni bites.
A 22-foot video wall, more than 100 HDTVs, an outdoor patio, music and year-round family-friendly programming round out the Topgolf experience.
Semi-private event rooms are prime spots for team outings, family gatherings, meetings or really anything Players are looking to celebrate.

West Des Moines Mayor Russ Trimble: “We are so proud to have the first ever Topgolf in the state of Iowa here in West Des Moines!
