El Segundo, CA (February 8, 2021) - The City of El Segundo is proud to announce that Topgolf, one of the golfing world's most innovative and exciting golf and entertainment companies, will break ground on a state-of-the-art facility at the Lakes at El Segundo nine-hole municipal golf course on February 15. This development will mark Topgolf's long-awaited entrance into the Southern California market. The last day to play golf at The Lakes will be Sunday, February 14, 2021.
The golf course and driving range located along Pacific Coast Highway will close for approximately 14 months during construction. The existing golf course and putting green will be redesigned and reconstructed to become one of the L.A. region's most desirable nine-hole municipal courses. The new three-level driving range facility, restaurant, and entertainment venue will be one of the most impressive ever built by Topgolf. Once complete, the facility will bring 400 new jobs and generate up to $2 million per year in new revenues for the City.
"The City Council is thrilled about this major investment in our City's golf course and the public-private partnership between the City of El Segundo and Topgolf," shared El Segundo Mayor Drew Boyles. "We look forward to this vibrant facility growing our golf community."
"This exciting development will take place as a result of City Council's vision and unwavering dedication over several years to deliver a recreational amenity that will be fun to use, well-maintained, and financially sustainable over the long run," stated City Manager Scott Mitnick.
In summary, the new Topgolf driving range and modifications to the existing golf course will include:
- Beautiful state-of-the-art golf and recreation facility
- Three-level driving range with 102 hitting bays (an increase of 45 hitting bays)
- All hitting bays equipped with market-leading “Toptracer” ball- tracking technology as seen on national golf broadcasts
- 9-hole executive golf course with:
- Lighting for golfing at night
- Expanded short game practice area (putting and chip shot)
- Landscaping upgrades
- Two new restaurants (one at Topgolf facility, and one at the new clubhouse)
- New pro shop
- New clubhouse and patio
- Local resident 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 teams
- Community event and meeting space at the Topgolf facility
The new Topgolf driving range and nine-hole municipal golf course are anticipated to open to the public by May 2022.
