CANTON, Mass. — Topgolf is bringing its wildly popular golf experience to Massachusetts with a gigantic facility that boasts three levels, nearly 100 hitting bays, and Toptracer technology.

“We get asked all the time when we’re bringing a Topgolf to the Boston area, so we couldn’t be happier to finally have an answer to that question,” Topgolf Chief Development Officer Chris Callaway announced in a news release.

Callaway said Topgolf’s newest location will be built along Dedham Street in Canton and construction will involve the redevelopment of the former Cumberland Farms distribution center.

The Canton venue will feature 90 hitting bays, each equipped with heaters, fans and the company’s Toptracer technology.

Topgolf hasn’t announced an opening date for the Canton venue, but work is expected to be completed in late 2023.

Toptracer technology allows golfers to track their ball’s speed, distance, height and more after aiming the ball – or at least attempting to – toward the on-field targets. Players earn points based on the game they choose to play.

In addition to point-scoring golf games, golfers will also be entertained by the venue’s chef-inspired menu items, top-shelf drinks, music, rooftop terrace, outdoor patio, and family-friendly programs.

In a statement, Canton Select Board Chair John Connolly said, “It’s with great excitement and pleasure that I welcome Topgolf to our community. This project will have a significant economic impact to the town of Canton through the creation of jobs and increased tax revenue to support our schools and municipal services, in addition to the environmental and aesthetic benefits of cleaning up a blighted site. It’s truly a ‘hole-in-one’ for Canton.”

Bostonians can get a preview of what’s planned for Canton when Topgolf Live returns to Fenway Park this week.
