TopGolf coming to San Diego isn't fore sure, but there's reason for optimism now that the Port of San Diego and the world-famous golf attraction are ironing out a deal that would bring the modern driving range to Harbor Island.
"I am hoping that once we get the concept approved, that we can go out, end of this year or sometime in 2023, with an RFP to actually attract developers to do the hotel piece and having TopGolf, at that point, in place," Malcolm said.
Images from TopGolf locations around the country offer glimpses of what could be coming to San Diego's Bayfront. The view from the hitting bays at TopGolf Las Vegas features the strip's iconic skyline just beyond the range's netting. In between upper-deck target practice in San Diego, you'll have your choice of watching jumbo jets cascade over Bankers Hill, watching sailboats float by in the bay to the south or admiring downtown's reflection bouncing off of the bay.
Malcolm said the port is committed to including no-cost public space on Harbor Island in addition to TopGolf and hotels. The port envisions park space, walking paths, a temporary watercraft parking dock and a place for kayaks, canoes and non-motorized watercraft to launch into the bay. At this point, there are no plans for free-standing retail shops or restaurants, according to Malcolm.
"They’ve always been around, they’ve always been interested in the site," he said."The Port of San Diego has considered them – I think it’s fair to say in 2015 the Port was more interested in moving forward with another developer, but as the years have gone on and TopGolf has stayed in there, we have become increasingly interested in them taking over a portion of the site, along with developing the rest of Harbor Island.
