TopGolf Is Coming To Rt. 66 In Neptune Township

NEPTUNE TOWNSHIP, NJ — A TopGolf is coming to Rt. 66 in Neptune Township.

A TopGolf plans to open at the former Asbury Park Press newspaper building at 3600 Rt. 66. This is a high-traffic area right off the Garden State Parkway and very close to Jersey Shore Premium Outlets.

What is TopGolf? For those who don't know, it's a sports facility where you can play golf, order food and beverages, including alcohol and watch TV. You get a private room and hit golf balls from private, multi-level outdoor hitting bays into a giant open-air outfield.

The other TopGolfs in New Jersey are in Edison, Mount Laurel and one just opened in Parsippany. It's known as a fun place to hang out with friends or family after work or on weekends.

There is still no word when the Top Golf will open; it won't be until sometime in 2027. The Neptune Twp. location will be a two-story facility.

The developer, 3601 Rt. 66 LLC, even proposed building a 100-room hotel next to the TopGolf, an 8,000-square-foot restaurant and a 2,335-square-foot fast-food restaurant, according to NJ.com.

The TopGolf will be built first.

Also, the QuickChek that was located for decades at Rt. 33 and Jumping Brook Road in Neptune Township closed last week (Sept. 30), and it will relocate to the Top Golf site. It will reopen as a QuickChek gas station next to TopGolf.

The QuickChek had been in business on Rt. 33 for nearly 24 years, since 2002. It was almost immediately replaced by a FreshMart convenience store, NJ.com reported.
