Topgolf has revealed plans to open a vast technology-enabled golf experience in Massachusetts' Greater Boston area in late 2023.
Construction on Topgolf's first venue in Massachusetts is underway in Canton. The new attraction will bring around 400 new jobs to the community.
The three-level location will be home to 90 hitting bays, each equipped with heaters, fans and the company's Toptracer technology. This allows players to track their ball's speed, distance and height.
In addition to golf games, the Boston outlet will feature F&B, music, a rooftop terrace, outdoor patio, and family-friendly programming.
