There’s an opening date for Topgolf in Little Rock.

The multilevel golf entertainment venue along Interstate 430 will mark its grand opening on Friday, Dec. 22, according to its owner, Topgolf Entertainment Group of Dallas.

Topgolf’s Little Rock venue will be its second in the state. It opened a location in Rogers near the Walmart Arkansas Music Pavilion in May 2020. It will be the company’s 98th site in the world.

The company said the Little Rock venue will employ 300 people and have 72 outdoor climate-controlled hitting bays on two levels.

A ribbon cutting ceremony is scheduled for 9 a.m. Dec. 22.

“One of my very first orders of business as mayor was to invite Topgolf to our city and to continue following up with company leaders to demonstrate the demand and excitement for this entertainment venue in our community,” Mayor Frank Scott Jr. said in a news release. “We are eager to add Topgolf to the vast and growing list of quality attractions in Arkansas’ capital city and excited to welcome residents and visitors to this venture that brings more than 300 new jobs and anchors a brand-new mixed-use development just off Interstate 430.”

A Topgolf competitor, T-Time, plans to set up at the former site of Wild River Country in North Little Rock. That project was announced in April.
