New Glasgow golf range set to open later this year

Topgolf Entertainment Group has confirmed it is targeting a late 2022 opening for a new venue in Glasgow - the first in Scotland.

Its fourth UK site - adding to a list of more than 70 venues operating in six countries - will be developed by Ashfield Land.

The three-level venue, located just off the M74 near Rutherglen, is expected to employ more than 300 employees once open.

Topgolf’s 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.

“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,” said Topgolf vice president of international Steve Lane. “The Glasgow venue will be like nothing the country has ever seen.”

Steven McGarva, development director at Ashfield Land, said: “The unique attraction is really starting to take shape and we’re pleased with how construction is progressing; I’m sure it’ll be a huge success.”

Topgolf Glasgow will feature 72 climate-controlled outdoor hitting bays. The experience includes point-scoring games, food, drinks, music and year-round programming for all ages, with private event rooms for corporate meetings and celebrations.
