Topgolf Augusta

Context & Services

In Augusta, where golf is akin to heritage, we provided the foundational civil engineering and infrastructure permitting for Topgolf’s innovative single-story venue. Our role involved navigating complex Augusta-Richmond County zoning and water service planning to transform 15 acres into a high-capacity entertainment hub. We delivered comprehensive site design, which included hydrology, utility mapping, and erosion control, and ensured the technical invisible infrastructure supported the facility’s high-end aesthetic without compromise.

The Unique Solution

Understanding the pressure to honor Augusta’s landscape, we functioned as a dedicated advocate for the project’s vision. We anticipated the need for a lower-profile footprint and acted as the technical translator between the design-build team and municipal officials to secure approvals for a first-of-its-kind single-story prototype.

To protect the client’s budget, we utilized Earthwork Balance Optimization. By digitally modeling the site’s grading, we precisely balanced cut-and-fill operations, repurposing on-site materials to elevate key areas while minimizing expensive imported fill and heavy construction traffic. This approach ensured that the essential utility systems and stabilized service zones remained reliable yet discreet.

Success & Impact

The result was a seamless delivery that saved the client several hundred thousand dollars in site preparation costs. By prioritizing phased infrastructure and environmental stewardship, we mitigated financial risks and secured long-term functionality. The facility opened to acclaim in 2020, perfectly balancing modern innovation with the community’s standards.
