Topgolf® opened its first Arizona location in Scottsdale this June near Talking Stick Resort. It is the only entertainment center of its kind, offering competitive golfing games for all ages and skill levels and advanced technology to track players’ shots. Those who just want to relax can enjoy the upscale, laid-back ambiance that boasts more than 230 high-definition flat-screen TVs and an extensive food and beverage menu.

“Topgolf puts its own flair on the hiring and training process,” said Topgolf Director of Talent Management Deslyn Douglas. “We take remarkable care in selecting our associates and equipping them with the information and tools they need to be successful. Of course, we make sure everyone has fun in the meantime.”

According to its website, Topgolf is “seeking dazzling people who are keen to share their ideas, inspire others and go above and beyond, approaching every task with energy and pride.”

Associates who are hired at the new 65,000-square-foot facility will receive free Topgolf game play, food and beverage discounts, the opportunity to participate in a 401(k) retirement savings program, and many other benefits.

“More than 1,500 people auditioned at the Topgolf opening in Scottsdale, so I would encourage interested Phoenix-area residents to apply early,” Douglas said.

Topgolf Gilbert recently began selling game credit and memberships, available for a one-time $5 cost or $80-250 per month, depending on the level of benefits desired. Phoenix-area residents can purchase a Lifetime Membership plus $45 worth of game credit on sale for $25 until Dec. 5. Additionally, the first 150 people to purchase a monthly membership will have the initiation fee waived and will receive an invitation for themselves plus a guest to attend the exclusive Topgolf VIP grand opening party. The evening will include complimentary food, drinks, entertainment and Topgolf play.
