Topgolf Gold Coast Construction

Capitalised hashtags always open themselves up to multiple interpretations.

My first take on the above was WEAR - E - GOLDCOAST, and took me longer than it should have to see the correct phrase.

A massive Topgolf logo has been installed and  screens have been installed inside the building.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

gee those people living on the other side of the motorway are going to be pissed. First Green Lantern, then Rivals, now TopGolf is going to be projecting 'light pollution' into their bedrooms at night! whatever will they do?

[themagician]

The logo has been completed 

[CantHitBallsStraight]

That's awesome, so 3 levels to shoot from. And how many suites wide is it? Anyone able to confirm?

[themagician]

Generally they are about 25 spots across on each level. So that means about 75 groups of people could play at any time. I imagine the GC one is about the same name, but havent counted them when i checked out construction.

[JaggedJanine]

I believe it's supposed to be 3 levels with 27 bays each.

I believe they will be building cages around the tee mats incase someone lets go of their golf club. It will look something like this..

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA

@xRazzBerryx that was awesome!!!

[red dragin]

@xRazzBerryx yes, that was a good one!

The netting has begun its installation 

[Jay Jay The Jet Plane]

Saw them doing the netting as I was pulling into work, you can barely see the netting with this one (this was best picture I could get when I was coming in, don’t have my camera on me) 

Theres a forklift on site with them installing one of the nets rn

^Just as a random aside - this isn't to try and nitpick, i'm not having a go - but i guess just to educate those unfamiliar with them that it looks as though they are using a telehandler, rather than a forklift. Both usually have 'forks', and both can lift (which is why many will just call them a fork lift) one is just capable of basic vertical movement, whereas the other has an extendable (*tele*scopic) boom, so it is a little more versatile in it's capability.

 

Cue flames from those who dislike my pedantry.

Sounds like you have your hand on something. 

Don't forget to mention it can be used to brush Brachiosaurus teeth.

Yeah I've seen a few videos of drunk dudes falling off the edge and into the netting after a bad swing.  

I am far too excited as an adult this project to be completed!!

Screens in testing

Cabling for the netting

And the carpark on the southern side of TG is being built

Oh lol... I had heard the backside of the black tank wall was to be made a video screen... But that looks more like a couple of TVs on the wall at the local pub

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

indeed - i'd hoped for a much bigger set of panels...

 

[Slick]

What's their intent? Are to show TV feeds of say ESPN etc. or are they for advertising?

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

i'd honestly thought part of it might be a bit of a promo \ scoreboard type thing, but advertising and\or showing "the big game" so people can watch while they bash balls isn't a bad idea. obviously unique because none of their other installations have a water tank right beside them, but i do hope that they actually make good use of these things.

What are SW TV's for?

[themagician]

While I was there they were playing the advert explaining what Top Golf is 

[New display name]

Maybe they will play a documentary on why SW is lacking in rides.

[Brad2912]

Illumination !!

[rappa]

From the good folks that brought you GL and a Joker Head from hell we now have Top Golf! Looks great

 

thank goodness someone introduced the parks to that supplier all those years ago hey
