The construction of the Top Golf in Ridgeland is coming along rather nicely as it nears its December opening. Check out the progress.
Developer Gabriel Prado said Top Golf would open in December at a February press conference. Check out some of the comments from the post:
Open by the "end of the year"? Rather ambitious I think. Mid year 2025. Open by the end of the year? Starting in March? That’s a feat I would love to see. What subcontractor is foolish enough to sign a contract with those time constraints?

It looks a lot smaller than the Top Golf’s I’ve been to in GA, SC, and TN. But the size of the place may be refelctive of the smaller market. The other TOP Golf’s were in more afluent cities and were always packed with visitors.
I’ve been to the one in Detroit and it was super nice & of course looked 3 or 4 times the size of this one being built here. I hope it doesn’t go the way of Walk-ons
Looking at their website...they have one story, two story, and three story facilities. You are correct, the ones in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, etc. are three story facilities.
I noticed the same thing, @11:54. I was skeptical when this was first announced because I thought it was going to be a big facility. At this size, I think it will be a huge success. There should be enough demand that there are waiting lists at the busy times, and plenty of turnover in the bays.
If it ever opens will not make it 2 years.
Is it Top Golf, or a bougie driving range, on the ground?
Wonder if this one is being constructed in such a way to allow for the easy addition of patron space in the event it is successful?
Prado better raise them poles another 100ft. I could easily hit em over those. They’ll have to go to St Katherine’s village to retrieve my balls.

That's what she said...
Gloom and doom idiots posting their idiocy. It’s about the same size as the one in Birmingham. Y’all also know zero about construction. The poles are much taller than your perception. Do y’all have bad eyesight or just a bad attitude? This place will be successful and you will know lots of people who pay to enjoy the entertainment.
4:15 for the win !!!!
All Mississippians should hope it succeeds. I really don't understand people who want other places in the state they live in to fail. It's revenue for all of us if it is successful. Critics just look childish and/or mean spirited and jealous...not attractive traits
I don't generally see it as HOPING it fails. I see it as reading patterns and making fair but unfortunate predictions based on MS history.
I agree its a bit unbecoming, but we also really need to stop pretending that feelings are more important that facts.
I personally hope it thrives and welcome all new business. But sunshine-pumpers who cant take criticism sound almost as dumb as the gloom and doom nay-sayers.
People will be excited at the beginning, it will be popular for a year, crowds will then begin to diminish as cheap Mississippians realize how much they're paying for beer and mediocre food. Maintenance will become non existent (see Mac n Bones miniature golf). They won't be able to staff it with enough people who give a damn (read the mixed reviews on Yelp of the Fondren bowling alley). Closed in 3 years or less.
I rare occurrence indeed, but I agree with Pitt.
That does not mean I want that to happen. But Mississippi history is an annoyingly accurate crystal ball.
Actually PittPanther that is not the full scope of the issue. People dont mind paying for the beer and mediocre food if they have a good time. it is when a certain unpleasant element ruins everyone’s fun with uncivilized savagery, that things take a turn. That’s the primary difference between here and other states. That feral element ruins everything for everyone. It is the only reason we cent have nice things here.
10:53 i said the same but much cruder in taste, thanks for getting the point across in a better way then my unpublished effort !
If I've said it once, I have said it one hundred times, Mississippi doesn't have the population, or the population with the expendable income to keep places like this afloat. We don't have enough people to occasionally patronize something like this, and we don't have people with enough that will patronize it frequently. It's a sad reality. It's just not here.
Corporate memberships are the way the company makes money along with recruiting events.
