Topgolf Wuhan will be adjacent to Longyang Lake Area. The three-level venue will offer 102 hitting bays, each equipped with equipment and microchip technology balls. Through a series of games such as Top Score, Jewel Jam and Angry Birds, these bays can be used by up to six players. There will also be two restaurants serving Chinese and Pan-Asian cuisines, an outdoor children's area, a multifunction hall and a terrace. It is expected to open in October 2024.

It's an honor to be part of Wuhan's story and we look forward to our mutual future together with the city and people of Wuhan."
