Although Topgolf will not open until December 20, JJ's photographer Rick Guy was able to get a sneak peek recently. Feast your eyes on the metro area's newest attraction.

working class scum will have this place ruined by next christmas
Hope it does well after the shine wears off.
Do they have left handed clubs?
Again, this has the potential to be a nice addition to the Jackson area. Spend any amount of time outside of Mississippi and you'll realize just how little Jackson has to offer in the way of entertainment. Hopefully the prices are high enough to maintain a certain quality of customer. (No, you cannot have low prices and high-quality customers in Jackson. Pick one.)
12:52, some people just have a problem for every solution. You need help!!!

The state of Mississippi has little to offer in the way of entertainment. "Pricing out the riff-raff" isn't going to necessarily work because as much as people like to think it's strictly a Jackson problem, a ton of people have been complaining about the price of things for the past four years. Also a lot of people just aren't raking it in out ins Madison as many assume. Look at Renaissance for example. $60 an hour before drinks and food adds up. All I can say is Good Luck!
Wonderful addition to Ridgeland/Madison area. Hope Top Golf will do as well here as in other cities.
A lot of golf eggs will have to be shot to re-coup the cost of that facility
You sound like such a joy
It's in Ridgeland
The real entertainment will be watching some drunk Rankin rednecks shooting at golf balls.
My concern is they are not using RFID chip golf balls and the holes with nets for this location. They are using shot tracking software.
With the nets anyone can play and you get points when your ball rolls in and stops. People who are terrible at golf can still have fun. With shot tracker it is going to appeal more to people who are good at golf.
I am hoping once I go play that these concerns are alleviated. If this doesn't do well it is going to make it tougher to get anything else to come for awhile.
Nice photos and inside views! Thanks! Wish them a great success in Ridgeland MS.
I'll enjoy playing mini-golf with the little ones. Being able to buy lunch and maybe an alcoholic drink there will be nice but don't care about the other stuff.
Working class people aren’t scum! You sound like a snob
Just in time for new full service UMMC hospital across the interstate. Goodnight Jackson.
According to Top Golf, all of their locations use RFID chipped golf balls and CMOS image sensors along with multiple other cameras and sensors to track the balls and score. The ball dispensing machine also uses the RFID chip associated with the ball and club to register it to you when you wave the club over the machine. This location will not be any different
Working class person and non-golfer here. I've never been to a Topgolf venue in another city, so I'm just curious about how much it costs to 'play a round'.
I assume you can use your own clubs?
Their profits will be in booze sales. Ridgeland will reap the rewards of the inevitable drunk driving fines.
You poors really should stick to sitting at home and watching TV while consuming fast food.
I drove by tonight. The parking lost was full!
I really want this to be a good thing and I hope it is.
As others mentioned though, it feels like Top Golf as a concept is on the down-slope of popularity in general.
Reminds me of Gigi's cupcakes or Crumbl Cookies. I worry the craze for Top Golf has peaked and that we won't have enough visitors or locals with expendable income to sustain it long term...but I hope I am wrong.
I the prices are high enough to keep out the undesirables.
