Plans are in motion for a new Topgolf venue in Sacramento's South Natomas neighborhood, a move that could bring economic growth and jobs to the area. Sacramento City Councilmember Karina Talamantes, representing the district, announced this development. In a statement obtained by Sacramento Business Journal, Talamantes expressed her enthusiasm about the project, "This new 58,000-square-foot venue will generate 250+ new jobs and contribute approximately 15 million dollars in economic growth to our community."

Details on the precise location or timeline for opening the Topgolf site in Natomas have not yet been disclosed. However, in an interview, Talamantes cited the area's population, economic demographics, diversity, and growth as key factors making it a fitting choice for Topgolf. According to a FOX40 report, the venue will span two stories with 80 bays and aims to draw a quarter-million visitors annually. This will mark Topgolf's second location in the Sacramento region, complementing the existing Roseville site.

While the Dallas-based entertainment company currently has no news to share on the Sacramento location, as per FOX40, Talamantes indicated in her Facebook post that the project has been years in the making. Natomas residents can look forward to an open house on Aug. 21, where they will have the opportunity to learn more about the project and provide feedback.

The potential economic boost from the new venue has been a focal point in the early discussions of the venture. Talamantes mentioned that the development has been in consideration since her time as Chief of Staff to now-Senator Angelique Ashby. "It's something that's been on my mind, and I wanted them to continue," Talamantes told Sacramento Business Journal. She voiced excitement about the provision of a family-friendly activity within walking distance for locals.

The conception of Topgolf in Natomas comes after previous exploration in the area five or six years ago, which was halted due to the Covid-19 pandemic. As plans progress, the community's input stands as an integral part of the development process. The hopeful outcome is a lively space that offers both recreation and job opportunities for the Sacramento area.
