SAN JOSE — Topgolf is slated to open its doors this week in north San Jose’s Alviso district, offering a tech-oriented golf experience, along with dining and wine tasting at its first Bay Area site, the company said Monday.
The official opening date for Topgolf San Jose is set for Friday, April 16, a new facility that’s poised to offer a job boost in Silicon Valley after more than a year of dreary economic setbacks in the wake of coronavirus-linked business shutdowns.
Topgolf operates high-tech driving ranges that allow people to hit golf balls equipped with microchips that record distance and accuracy.
The new facility is the first for Topgolf in the Bay Area and the second in California.
More than 120 bays will be available to hit golf balls. Each bay is climate-controlled.
“The San Jose venue will feature a wine lounge and tasting area on the third Level, in addition to the chef-driven food and beverage menu in their outdoor hitting bays while safely enjoying the outdoor fun,” Topgolf stated.
Management, administrative, sales, server, bartender, busser, food and drink runners, guest services, kitchen, and maintenance were among the jobs listed in recent weeks as being available through a “now hiring” effort for the San Jose venue, according to the careers section on the Topgolf website.
“Topgolf’s opening provides another hopeful sign that San Jose is poised to make a strong rebound as we emerge from this pandemic,” San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo said in a recent interview with this news organization regarding the venue’s upcoming opening day.
