Topgolf originated from the timeless golf question, "Who hit it closer?"
Originally called "Target Oriented Practice Golf," the founders of Topgolf used proprietary radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology and dartboard-style targets to answer this question – and the first Topgolf venue was born in United Kingdom’s Watford in 2000.
Over the next 20 years, Topgolf would become a movement, constantly innovating to improve the guest experience, and expanding experiential platforms to create a global community.
