Drive Shack will open about a $25 million facility next year, employing 450 people.

The Marietta City Council voted 7-0 Feb. 14 to sell 17 acres at 849 Franklin Gateway to the golf entertainment company for $9.5 million. With this transaction, Marietta City Manager Bill Bruton said more than 2,400 jobs have come to the city’s Franklin Gateway area at I-75.

This location will be Drive Shack’s first in Georgia.

The year-round sports complex will include golf, games, a restaurant and rooftop dining in a three-story building.
