Wichita City Council members have approved changes to a development agreement to allow for a new golf destination facility in the northeast part of the city.
The city established a STAR Bond district at K-96 and Greenwich Road for the development of the Stryker Sports Complex with the construction of an indoor facility. Another phase of the project was intended for a golf and entertainment venue, and the city has reached an agreement with Topgolf to provide that facility.
Topgolf will have a two-story, 50-bay interactive golf facility with a restaurant and meeting space. Assistant City Manager Scot Rigby said future development plans include a hotel and restaurants, office space and apartments. Plans call for construction to begin in April, 2022 and the facility will open in the spring or summer of 2023.
The city would provide $10.2 million in STAR Bond revenues toward the project, which has a total cost of $25.8 million for the Topgolf facility.
Council members voted 4-3 to approve the project, with Vice-Mayor Brandon Johnson and council members Jared Cerullo and Jeff Blubaugh voting no.
