Time to Tee Up in El Segundo! 

The City of El Segundo and Topgolf Entertainment Group, a modern day, technology-enabled golf entertainment company, opened a first-of-its-kind experience in El Segundo on Friday, April 15^th, featuring traditional and non-traditional golf offerings through the company’s signature three-level venue experience as well as an adjacent 10-hole, lighted, par-3 golf course.

Located along prominent Pacific Coast Highway, Topgolf’s 76^th global venue welcomes all to enjoy both Topgolf’s signature, technology-driven multi-level entertainment experience and traditional golf via the refreshed The Lakes at El Segundo golf course.

“El Segundo has a rich history being a Southern California economic hub of innovative industry. Topgolf is a perfect fit for our city, blending traditional golf and new technology. Topgolf El Segundo will create hundreds of jobs and reinvigorate golf for the entire South Bay,” shares Mayor Drew Boyles. “This public private partnership brought more than $50,000,000 in capital investment to this facility, a professionally designed golf course, lights for night golfing, and so many other improvements. The property will provide a positive cash flow and additional revenues to support city services.” 

Topgolf El Segundo is an open-air, three-level venue that features 102 outdoor hitting bays, restaurant and sports bar offering a chef-inspired menu items, top-shelf drinks, music and year-round programming for all ages. The venue is fully equipped with Topgolf’s latest technology including a giant TV wall, brand-new ball dispenser units, large HD screens in the outfield, and the company’s signature Toptracer technology, the most trusted ball-tracing technology that enables players to enjoy an interactive experience with favorite games including Angry Birds and Jewel Jam.

As part of the unmatched experience, Topgolf partnered with renowned golf course designer Mike Angus to refresh and reintroduce the beloved The Lakes at El Segundo golf course to the community.

The course features a 10-hole, par 3 course where players can have laid back fun while playing a round of traditional golf. The course was uniquely designed to not only challenge the experienced golfer, but also be enjoyed by the novice golfer looking to learn or just have fun. Each hole is unique as players will find quirky names and hidden gems throughout the course. Similar to what players can experience in venue or see on TV during professional golf majors, the 10th hole is equipped with Topgolf’s Toptracer technology that allows players to trace their shots like the pros.

Assuming operations of the course, Topgolf renovated the golf course complete with new turf and grass, refurbished lakes, night-lighting, built-in music system, and a brand-new Golf Pro Shop, which offers food, beverages and golf equipment.

Local El Segundo residents receive discounts and early access privileges; guaranteed access for local youth and schools to encourage the development of junior golf programs, with preference to El Segundo Unified School District golf programs; and community event and meeting space at the Topgolf facility.

Beyond playing at the venue and golf course, Topgolf El Segundo and The Lakes at El Segundo course will collectively employ approximately 500 associates, further strengthening the greater Los Angeles area’s economy.

The total annual net revenues to the City are estimated to be in excess of $1,700,000.

“This is a very exciting opportunity for Topgolf as the golf industry continues to grow and diversify both on and off the course,” said Topgolf Chief Executive Officer Artie Starrs. “We are very thankful to the opportunity to become a part of the El Segundo community and bring the power of play and the game of golf to all. From the variety of experiences to the next-level technology features, our El Segundo location is a celebration of the future of golf, and Topgolf is thrilled to be a part of this movement.”

As part of Topgolf’s ongoing commitment to bring the power of play to the community, Topgolf hosted a unique eightsome ceremonial charity swing event that benefited the local Los Angeles Make-A-Wish® Chapter. Composed of local celebrities, well-known golfers, and public officials, Topgolf donated $20,000 to grant a child’s wish in the greater Los Angeles area.

This latest Topgolf in El Segundo marks the fourth venue to serve the state of California alongside venues in Ontario, San Jose and Roseville (Sacramento). For more information, including hours of operation and pricing, visit the Topgolf El Segundo and The Lakes of El Segundo golf course pages.
