GULF SHORES – Gulf Coast residents and visitors will have more attraction options coming soon with the addition of Top Golf Swing Suites and more bowling lanes.

Waterville announced Wednesday its addition of two Top Golf Swing Suites, bowling lanes and The Lagoon Bar, set to open in May.

Waterville USA will house the most advanced golf and interactive multiport simulator available for fun and interactive social gatherings or private practice sessions. This will be in addition to Waterville’s lineup of attractions including a waterpark, two escape rooms, the Flowrider, updated go-carts, 36 holes of miniature golf, Fun Depot kiddie rides and an arcade.

“We are proud to team with Waterville USA to provide a new kind of interactive social experience that will entertain visitors of all ages and skill levels in Gulf Shores,” Topgolf Swing Suite President Ron Powers said in a news release. “Powered by industry-leading Full Swing simulators, games are designed for both non-golfers and golfers alike, so everyone can have a great time.”

The Topgolf Swing Suites will feature two simulator bays and a variety of virtual games. Play the world’s greatest golf courses or enjoy Quarterback Challenge, Zombie Dodgeball, Baseball Pitching, Soccer, Hockey Shots and more – paired with comfortable lounge seating and food and beverage service including alcoholic beverages.

The Top Golf Swing Suites can accommodate up to eight people in each bay, where they can play, eat, drink and hang out. The spaces will also be available to rent for business and social gatherings, including birthday and bachelorette/bachelor parties, team building events, corporate meetings and more.

Waterville is also adding two 36-foot interactive bowling lanes. Rather than name the lanes, customers are invited to compete in a Facebook competition to submit their name suggestions. Waterville will select a name, and the winner will receive a free season pass to the waterpark, along with free bowling passes.

The Lagoon Bar will also be a new addition in 2023. Relax and enjoy an alcoholic beverage or refreshing frozen drink white watching the HD TVs at the new bar just outside the amusement park on the newly renovated deck. An expanded food menu in the amusement park will be offered as well.

“We are extremely excited to add the Topgolf Swing Suites and two bowling lanes to our extensive lineup of attractions,” said John Turberville, general manager of Waterville USA, in the news release. “This will give visitors exciting new attractions that will be open to coincide with our amusement park dates.”
