A Major Entertainment Anchor for the East Metro
Woodbury is set to add a high‑profile attraction this fall: Topgolf. Following Wednesday’s vote, the Woodbury City Council granted the venue its liquor license—one of the final pre‑opening hurdles. Company representatives say they’re aiming for a late‑October launch, though an exact date has not been set. The venue’s address is 560 Bielenberg Drive, just southeast of the I‑94/I‑494 interchange, offering easy access for residents from Woodbury, Lake Elmo, Cottage Grove, and the greater St. Paul area.

What to Expect at the New Venue
Topgolf blends a casual sports‑bar atmosphere with golf‑technology fun. Expect climate‑controlled hitting bays, food and beverage service, HDTVs everywhere, and microchipped balls that track shots to giant targets—equally friendly to first‑timers and serious players. With Brooklyn Center already home to the metro’s first Topgolf, the Woodbury location will expand options east of the river and cut drive times for many east‑metro families. Topgolf
Timeline, Permits, and Opening Updates
Topgolf broke ground on the Woodbury site in late 2024 and originally projected a late‑2025 opening. With the liquor license now approved, the team’s late‑October target looks realistic, pending final inspections and staffing.

Could Eden Prairie Be Next?
Beyond Woodbury, Topgolf has shown interest in the southwest metro, with sites in Eden Prairie under consideration. While nothing is finalized, discussions with city leaders and scouting efforts suggest a growing regional footprint after Woodbury opens. For now, Woodbury is next in line.

Why This Matters for Local Real Estate and Lifestyle
For east‑metro homeowners and would‑be buyers, Topgolf adds a year‑round entertainment anchor that typically boosts nearby dining, retail, and evening traffic. Venues like this can energize adjacent commercial corridors and add to the amenity mix that modern buyers consider—especially those eyeing move‑up homes in Woodbury, Afton, Stillwater, Cottage Grove, and Lake Elmo. Whether you’re planning a date night, corporate outing, or family celebration, Topgolf’s flexible format tends to draw consistent crowds throughout Minnesota’s seasons.
