Having been forced to close by storms in the region on Christmas Day, Village Roadshow Theme Parks has announced that Topgolf Gold Coast will reopen as of Friday 23rd February.

One of the South East Queensland’s most popular attractions, Topgolf Gold Coast was badly damaged in the tornado that whipped through the area on Christmas night with the giant nets that surround the facility severely damaged and requiring replacement.

However, with the installation of new nets, which had to be flown in from the USA, Village Roadshow Theme Parks Chief Operating Officer, Bikash Randhawa, told the Gold Boast Bulletin “we are incredibly excited to announce Topgolf will reopen at 11.30am next Friday 23 February, and we can’t wait to welcome guests back to the venue.

“I am immensely proud of our passionate and dedicated teams who have worked tirelessly since the Christmas storms in their clean up efforts to remove debris form the outfield and fix critical infrastructures including a full net replacement in our efforts to make the venue safe for our guests to re-enter.

“One of the largest components of the reopening plans was the delivery and installation of the custom-made exterior netting which were air-freighted in from Northern America.”

In addition to replacing its 24 sections of netting - which span more than 1000 lineal metres - Topgolf has repainted 25 support poles which stand at over 50 metres each and conducted inspections and repairs on more than 2.5 kilometres of cabling.

Since opening in June 2018, Topgolf has proven to be one of the most popular attractions on the Gold Coast.
