Topgolf plans a mid to late-June opening, according to new employees undergoing training at the new 65,000-square foot venue set to open near National Harbor.
No specific date though, has been shared, at least with new employees there Thursday.
The entertainment venue shows signs it will open soon: Netting is up, the parking lot is being paved and the golf greens are looking almost completed.
Topgolf is hiring hundreds of new employees for its new National Harbor location set to open at Clipper Way and Oxon Hill Road. Its next hiring event is set for June 11. Front-of-house hourly positions include bar back, bartender, bay host/server, busser, drink runner, food runner and guest/golf services associate.
Topgolf calls its interviewing style "Topgolf MISSION: Ambition." The company says its three-hour "hiring event" is a special way of showcasing its "culture of fun and energy." Applicants are inspired to leave their "dress-up clothes and pre-rehearsed answers" at the door and start thinking "mission-minded."
If you plan to interview with the company, the interview will "consist of gathering intel and navigating through group activities, interactive panel interviews, one-on-one convos with Topgolf's venue leadership teams, games and more."
"We are so excited to provide 500 jobs to the Washington D.C. area," said Sean Crofton, Topgolf National Harbor director of Operations, in an earlier statement. "Topgolf is everyone's game and everyone's workplace, we look forward to meeting the talented candidates this city has to offer."
Topgolf guests enjoy point-scoring golf games using microchipped balls that instantly score themselves, showing players the accuracy and distance of their shots on a TV screen in their hitting bay. Topgolf venues feature food and drinks, big screen TVs, flexible private event spaces and music in climate-controlled hitting bays year-round. Year-round programming includes events for kids and families, social leagues, groups, golf tournaments and instruction.
The Kingstowne Topgolf -- the first one in the United States -- will be staying open, the company said earlier this year.
