Topgolf to open at central Grand Prairie site; city marks groundbreaking for two-level venue
Summary
Topgolf will build a two-level, 80-bay venue near State Highway 161 and Mayfield Road in Grand Prairie’s central entertainment district; the project is expected to create up to 300 jobs, city announcement says.
Topgolf is building a new location near State Highway 161 and Mayfield Road in Grand Prairie’s central entertainment district, city officials said. The two-level venue will include 80 outdoor climate-controlled hitting bays, a full-service bar and restaurant, and is expected to employ up to 300 people.
City representatives marked the project with a groundbreaking ceremony that included a ceremonial tee shot. Organizers described the development as a sign of private investment and confidence in the city’s entertainment district. A Topgolf representative said, "At Topgolf, we like to say, we are the instigators of play," and added that proximity to the district made the site a good fit.
City speakers at the ceremony emphasized the role of private developers taking financial risk to build new entertainment options. One unnamed city commenter said, "At the end of the day, cities have to have developers willing to risk. Let me underscore that risk. Businesses are going out of business every day, folks. They have to be willing to risk their own capital and believe in your city." A city official at the event described the development as "a significant moment for the city of Grand Prairie" and a sign of growth and opportunity.
Topgolf Grand Prairie’s opening date was not specified in the transcript. City materials also reminded residents that free copies of the 2025 city calendar are available at City Hall while supplies last.
