Corporate events are a vital part of business culture and Topgolf Megacity understands that to a tee.
From organising the programme to providing food and beverage, Topgolf Megacity offers a one-stop event planning service.
“Corporate events have been an important catalyst for introducing new players to Topgolf as it is a one-stop shop for team building days, corporate meetings, product launches, and year-end parties,” said Tim Boda, managing director, Topgolf Thailand.
The Bangkok-based sports and entertainment complex is located just 35 minutes from the Central Business District. It features 102 all-weather golf hitting bays, four double-sized VIP bays, and an 18-hole minigolf course, providing ample space for groups with or without golf knowledge.
Corporate events account for about one-third of the business, with many companies from the automotive, pharmaceutical, financial institutions and manufacturing sectors. In its first year, it hosted its single largest corporate group of 5,000 participants over four days.
One-stop event planning
Topgolf’s dedicated events team can help companies plan their events according to different needs, whether for a company outing, team building, tournament, or meeting or workshop.
For Patrick Both, regional general manager, Luxury & Lifestyle at IHG hotels and resorts, choosing Topgolf Megacity for his team outing was an easy one.
“Our primary goal was to foster teamwork and provide an opportunity for everyone to unwind and have a good laugh, especially given the high-pressure environment we work in daily,” he said.
The interactive nature of the gameplay fostered friendly competition and collaboration, and created an exciting atmosphere for his team. Not only that, the “excellent food and drinks”, coupled with a “vibrant atmosphere” also helped the team to have fun and bond in a relaxed setting.
“Holding our event at Topgolf Megacity allowed us to break away from our tense work environment and connect on a more personal level. The activities and the overall ambiance were instrumental in fostering teamwork and building stronger relationships within our team,” he added.
Another company that had a successful event at Topgolf Megacity was one of its partners, ThaiNamthip Corporation.
“Topgolf Megacity is more than just a golfing destination. It’s truly a “whole-in-one” – a destination where everyone can enjoy themselves with a wide variety of activities and fantastic food and drinks,” said Ignace Corthouts, chief executive officer, ThaiNamthip Corporation.
It was a “fun and invigorating environment” for the team and the venue, staff and other guests there contributed to the fun atmosphere, he added.
Customised to your needs
For a fun and engaging corporate experience, companies can take advantage of Topgolf Megacity’s versatile meeting spaces. These include private event areas perfect for team bonding activities, complete with high-speed wifi and audiovisual equipment for any necessary presentations.
Topgolf Megacity helps organisers customise their programme. From choosing gameplay options to selecting food menus and additional services — whether to request for a Topgolf coach or gifts for guests — planners have the flexibility to tailor their event to suit their teams.
“The venue can accommodate any size of B2B or B2C event, hosting from 12 to 2,000 guests. In addition to the game-playing areas, event groups can utilise any of the bars and restaurants and our well-equipped meeting rooms. In-house organisers, MCs, coaches, and entertainers are also available, making Topgolf Megacity the new event hotspot in town,” said Boda.
In addition to its gameplay offerings, Topgolf Megacity boasts a diverse range of food and entertainment options, including a sports bar, rooftop bar, lounge, and a restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating.
