Outdoor Recreation and Entertainment Use
Topgolf is a premier state of the art sports entertainment venue consisting of a technologically advanced
multi-level golf driving range, a full-service restaurant and bar, and entertainment complex. The venue
features a two-level building housing the restaurant, bar, and entertainment space including two climate-
controlled levels of golf ball hitting bays, and an outfield with electronic targets for an inclusive, high-tech
golf game that everyone of all ages and skill levels can enjoy.
With typical operating hours starting at 8am and extending until 2am every day, Topgolf offers its
communities multiple different ways to enjoy its unique style of outdoor recreation . Open to all guests
from morning through night, golf lessons led by PGA pros, summer golf academies for kids, and use by
local high school golf teams are all available during the day. Through the evening, families, friends, and
teams from local businesses can gather to enjoy the food, beverages, and outdoor fun. To maintain this
consistent service in the Boise market Topgolf has pursued and been approved for a Conditional Use
Permit with the City of Meridian to allow business hours of 8am to 2am, seven days per week. This CUP
was granted by the City of Meridian’s Planning & Zoning Commission during their hearing on Thursday,
July 1, 2021, following their review of the staff report at their hearing on Thursday, June 17, 2021.
