It’s finally here! Panama City Beach just scored a brand-new hangout spot! Topgolf has finally landed on the Emerald Coast, and it’s bringing way more than just golf to the party. The doors swung open on June 27, 2025, kicking off a fresh mix of fun, food, and good vibes for locals and visitors alike.
Just steps from Calypso Towers Resort and Pier Park located at 6701 Powell Adams Drive, the location couldn’t be more perfect. Come for the golf, stay for the atmosphere: enjoy a full-service restaurant and bar, lively yard games, HDTVs to catch the game, and bay seating designed for comfort year-round. It’s not just a driving range—it’s your new go-to entertainment spot.
This milestone is big for both the community and the region. It marks the tenth Topgolf location in Florida, and notably, the first along the Emerald Coast, creating 275–300 local job opportunities and giving residents and visitors even more reasons to explore PCB.
What’s Going On at Topgolf Panama City Beach?
Golf Made for Everybody
Topgolf has turned the driving range into a full-on entertainment venue – not just for golfers, but for anyone looking to have a great time! Here’s what they’ve packed into their new location:
- 74 climate-controlled hitting bays across two levels, complete with comfy lounge furniture or high-top tables so you can hang back and cheer (or heckle) while the crew plays.
- Toptracer technology, so every shot you take gets traced by high-tech cameras—distance, height, curve, speed—you’ll get the full stats in real time.
- Feeling clueless or just starting out? They’ve got the Sure Thing golf club, specially designed to make it easier for newbies to get that ball in the air.
- Want a lesson or fancy using pro-grade clubs? They offer a Coach program and an option to upgrade your gear, hosting everything from affordable basics to premium upgrades.
It’s Not Just About Swinging Clubs
Topgolf doubles as a fun place to socialize, offering so much more than just golf:
- A full-service restaurant and bar staffed by executive chefs dishing out crowd-pleasers like “donut hole-in-ones” and cheesy mac bites.
- A massive 22-foot video wall plus throughout the venue, a sea of 140+ HDTVs to catch your favorite shows or sports.
- Outdoor patio, music, family-friendly events year-round, and lounge vibe with games and good energy any day.
- Yard games scattered around, perfect for taking a break between swings or enjoying some off-the-club fun.
Hosting a special occasion? Topgolf covers you—birthday, corporate, bachelor/bachelorette, you name it:
- Multiple event spaces, from outdoor patios to luxurious semi-private bays (with Wi-Fi, HDTVs, portable bars, and all).
- Event add-ons like live leaderboards, Topgolf Coaches, custom party favors, and even digital invites to hype your crew.
- There’s also miniature golf, priced affordably: kids under 3 free, ages 4–17 at about $6.50, adults around $8.50. Great for all ages on slower days.
Topgolf Panama City Beach: Afternoon Hang-Out Plan
Planning to spend the afternoon out? We’ve got you covered! Here’s a fun-filled itinerary to help you make the most of your time with family and friends at Topgolf.
2:00 PM – Warm Welcome & Settle In
- Arrive and check in for your bay.
- Pick a comfy spot—loungy couches if you’re here to chill, high-tops if you want a clear view of the action.
- Order your first round of drinks—whether it’s a craft beer, a fun cocktail, or a sweet iced tea.
2:15 PM – Game On
- Start with a warm-up round in Toptracer mode, just to get everyone swinging.
- Try a mix of games—Top Scramble for the competitive ones, Angry Birds Golf for the playful crowd.
3:00 PM – Snack Break
- Share some signature bites like cheesy mac bites, pretzel bites with beer cheese, or donut hole-in-ones (yes, they’re dessert AND golf-themed).
- Keep the playlist going—each bay has its own vibe, so pick some tunes that match your crew.
3:20 PM – Round Two with a Twist
- Swap clubs (yes, even the beginners try the “pro” gear for laughs).
- Add a friendly bet—loser buys the next round of appetizers.
4:00 PM – Chill Time
- Take a break from swinging and wander over to the yard games area—cornhole, giant Jenga, or just soaking in the PCB sunshine.
- Snap some group pics with the bays and Pier Park in the background.
4:30 PM – Final Round & Winner’s Toast
- End with one last TopGolf challenge—maybe “Longest Drive” or “Closest to the Pin.”
- Toast the winner (and console the rest) with dessert cocktails or a frozen treat.
5:00 PM – Sunset Stroll
-
Head across to Pier Park for a sunset walk or beach view before calling it a day.
If you’re staying with Premium Beach Condos, Topgolf is the hole-in-one spot you gotta add to your vacation plans. After soaking up some sun on the beach, swing by Topgolf for a few chill drives—whether you’re working on your game or just messing around with your crew.
Then, when you’re ready to kick back, head back to your condo and relax with a tasty charcuterie board—fresh Gulf shrimp, cheese, fruit and a sunkissed cocktail, all laid out on your balcony with an amazing ocean view. It’s the perfect way to end the day—beach vibes, some friendly swings, and good eats all rolled into one.
Now that’s what I call a vacation upgrade that’s totally tee-rific!
