Went with friends for the first time tonight. It was such a fun atmosphere. The staff was incredibly helpful and very attentive making sure we had drinks, food and a good time. The food quality was honestly shocking because you wouldnt think an entertainment establishment would have such good food. Highly recommend going here for a fun night.

OH. MY. GOSH!!! I had the most EPIC time at Top Gold!!! I'm still grinning from ear to ear thinking about it! The vibes were AMAZING, the fun was NON STOP, and being with my favorite person made it all the more special! I'm already counting down the days until I can go back and do it all again! If you're looking for a spot that's OUT OF THIS WORLD, look no further! Top Gold is a MUST VISIT! can't wait to go back!

there actually is a restaurant in Top Golf where you can get delicious food. Great variety. And get entertained by non golfers trying to hit the golf ball.

I recently visited Topgolf and had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the food was genuinely good. Every dish we ordered was tasty and well-prepared, making it a delightful dining experience in terms of flavor. However, there were a couple of areas where Topgolf could improve. Firstly, the food service was kinda slow. It took a bit longer for the food to reach so the cheese on the dishes was dried when they reached the table. Secondly, the furniture was just average. It wasn't uncomfortable, but it didn't add to the ambiance or the overall experience. A bit of an upgrade in this area could make a big difference. It's a fun and engaging experience with great food, but there's room for improvement in service speed and furniture quality. I'll likely visit again, hoping these aspects improve over time.

It is my first time visit here. The convenience of starting the game is totally impressive. There are plenty choices of different kinds of clubs, even the kids club. And the clubs are free of charge! Even children can enjoy the game so much if they have the basic understanding of how to swing the golf club! Beware they have different charges in different time of the day. Totally recommend to visit it before noon as it is soo much cheaper!

Been to Top Golf a handful of times, and this time around not a great experience. Our group was placed at a tee that had a drain pipe oozing water that flowed about 4 inches from the tee itself. No other drain pipes on the first floor were dripping. Felt like I was playing in the rain. Very distracting to concentrate on your swing. Last I checked, golfers don't play in the rain. After mentioning it to waitress, and after about 15 minutes, they came back with a $20 credit option. Though I appreciate the effort, I would've appreciated being offered to move us to another spot, close the bay out, and allow us to restart our game along with the credit. Disappointing. Please see attached photo.
