Cardiff could soon swing into the spotlight as a major new leisure destination with plans to bring a Topgolf venue to the Cardiff Sports Village.
The international sports entertainment brand, known for its cutting-edge golfing games, vibrant atmosphere, and all-weather facilities, is eyeing the former Toys R Us site at Cardiff International Sports Village (ISV). If approved, the venue would mark Topgolf’s first foray into Wales, adding Cardiff to its limited UK portfolio and promising a significant boost to the city’s leisure and entertainment scene.
Topgolf attractions offer hi-tech golf games that everyone can enjoy, along with food and drink, all-weather hitting bays, and music. The leading international sports entertainment company, which currently operates at only four locations in the United Kingdom, is planning a significant investment in Cardiff’s ISV.
The Cabinet will be recommended to enter into an Option Agreement with Topgolf for the former Toys R Us site. If approved, Topgolf would have 18 months to secure planning permission and enter a lease, potentially bringing the golf-based entertainment venue to Cardiff.
The ISV report to Cardiff Council’s Cabinet on Thursday, January 23, also reveals the council is looking to address other improvements in the area. This includes restoring waterfront access by bringing forward clear plans for the ISV boardwalk, which has been closed on safety grounds for several years.
Additionally, a temporary car parking solution is proposed, creating approximately 400 new parking spaces to alleviate congestion and problem parking during peak times. The council intends to meet with local residents shortly to engage directly on these plans.
