Opening date officially set for new state-of-the-art golfing experience based in Lanarkshire

A new golfing complex is set to officially open in Lanarkshire next week.

Topgolf will welcome customers for the first time on Friday, December 16, just before Christmas.

The hotly anticipated facility, which is expected to bring hundreds of jobs to the region, is the first of its type to be opened in Scotland.

It will offer a wide range of fun and interactive games including the signature Topgolf game designed for all skill levels, the fan-favourite Angry Birds game, a variety of virtual courses, and much more.

Players can aim away at multiple on-field, illuminated targets from one of 72 climate-controlled, all-weather bays, each able to hold six people.

Topgolf Glasgow is powered by Toptracer technology (RGR)

Topgolf Glasgow is powered by Toptracer technology, the ball-tracing technology seen on television at major golf events and driving ranges around the world, which means players can expect detailed feedback on their swing, while those looking for a bite to eat can enjoy food and drink from a full bar and kitchen.

Simon Green, director of operations for Topgolf Glasgow, told Lanarkshire Live : “We’ve been overwhelmed with the energy of the city in the run-up to opening the doors of our first Scottish venue.

"Our newly recruited Playmakers are busy training and excited to welcome in our first players ahead of Christmas.

"Those familiar with Topgolf already will recognise many hallmarks of what makes a night out here so special, including the unique games, delicious food, and party atmosphere.

"With our new technology in place, we really can’t wait to show Scotland what we’re all about and welcome everyone of all ages from across the country to join us."

The Topgolf facility is a key part of Clyde Gateway, one of Scotland’s biggest regeneration programmes, and is backed by South Lanarkshire Council, Clyde Gateway and the Scottish Government.
