Construction Finally Begins For Topgolf In St. Petersburg
There is hope on the horizon because construction has finally begun on the much-delayed Topgolf in St. Petersburg!
Let’s take a trip back to 2019 when Topgolf announced that it was building it’s newest Tampa Bay location in the Carillon area of St. Pete. The 67,000 square-foot facility was supposed to be open in 2020. Obviously that never happened. Why? A neighborhood group known as the Concerned Residents of Carillon were against Topgolf coming to their area. The group challenged St. Pete’s approval of Topgolf in their neighborhood and the whole thing ended up in court.
Last year, the Pinellas County Circuit Court ruled in favor of St. Pete and Topgolf. That gave the green light for construction to finally start at the Carillon site. As of now the main building has been framed. Topgolf is looking at a 2023 opening but there is no official date has been announced. The waiting is the hardest part but at least we’re closer to seeing this awesome facility becoming a reality! {SOURCE St. Pete Rising]

Where To Find Free Golf In Tampa Bay For Kids
Where To Find Free Golf In Tampa Bay For Kids. I remember walking the golf course with my dad when I was a kid. It was real far away so we only played on weekends. But we practices in a pasture near our home hitting balls back and forth.
I really love that Golf is a lifetime game. Even thought I don’t play much anymore, still love to get out to the occasional charity tournament. There was a time when I played 4 or five days a week later in life. And, yes got all 3 daughters on the golf course when they were kids and outside of soccer season ; )
Tampa Bay has a bunch of really nice courses. So glad to see Ace Golf with their summer program for kids. Runs through August. And gets them outside and off the screen time if that helps too. They’re up to over 800 kids in the program. Pretty cool. Want to get your kids involved? Tey have 3 facilities where kids can get practice range balls, or play mini golf.
Parents can swing by and sign up your kids. Ages 5 through 12. Free golf practice. The summer program is held daily through Aug. 31 at the facilities below:
