National golf and entertainment venue plans new location in region

FORT MYERS — Topgolf, a multi-venue golf-entertainment venue that offers in-person, virtual or digital ways to play the game, has announced plans to open a location in Fort Myers — its first in Southwest Florida.

The location, on the newly named Topgolf Way, off Interstate 75 behind the Colonial Square Town Center, is the seventh one in Florida for Dallas-based Topgolf Entertainment Group, according to a statement. Others are in Tampa, Jacksonville, Orlando and two on the east coast. The Fort Myers venue, also near the new Cypress Lakes development, is expected to open in late 2021, the statement adds.
