Golf and basketball would seem to make an odd couple, but a partnership between the Atlanta Hawks and Topgolf will see golf simulators installed as one of the key features of a redesigned Philips Arena.
The “Swing Suites” will be rentable by the hour by groups of up to 15 fans or business clients, with a view of the court from a new conference center that is just one facet of a $192.5 million remodel — the second-largest renovation in NBA history behind Madison Square Garden, according to a statement from the Hawks. The Topgolf spaces will have a lounge vibe with HDTVs and food and beverage services, and will be open before, during, and after Hawks games and other events.
