GREENSBORO, N.C. — Topgolf could be just the beginning of development off I-40.
We got our hands on planning documents submitted to the city of Greensboro by Realty Link.
Greensboro's new high-tech golfing range is already drawing people like Justin Black in from surrounding cities.
"We were excited. It's nothing but a 30-minute ride for us," Black said. "We're from Burlington."
Black decided to celebrate his 44th birthday at Top Golf.
"It's new we like golfing. We wanted to get out and have a good time," Black shared.
Wednesday was Kevin Murriell's first time at Topgolf.
"I just moved here to Greensboro. There is potential here," Murriell said. "So I think Topgolf Is something that brings more people here."
The city plans to capitalize off Topgolf making Greensboro its 4th home in North Carolina.
The city's planning department has approved site plans for Main Event Entertainment.
It's an entertainment center with games, activities, and a restaurant.
It'd be located on Guilford College Road the same road as Topgolf.
"I mean any addition is a good addition," said Topgolf patron Paul Sluder.
Topgolf guests are open to growth in west Greensboro.
"It gives you more diverse things to do. family-oriented things to do," said Topgolf patron Tre Harding. "It brings me over to this side of Greensboro. I'm usually downtown or the eastern side so it lets me roam around Greensboro more than I usually do."
If Aggies like Tre Harding visiting for homecoming need a place to stay in the future there could be a new spot for them on Guilford College Road.
The city is also reviewing plans for a Marriot Studio Res Hotel and a Circle K gas station.
The hotel would be four stories with more than 120 rooms. The applicant for the hotel is Greenville, South Carolina-based Rosemont Holdings, according to the site plan.
"It gives and pours back into the economy for sure," Harding said.
The city could hit a target that draws in business and patrons as it swings into a new chapter.
