Super fun and great vibes even if you don’t know how to golf. It’s just very hot, there’s not really a cooling system besides the fans. The drinks and desserts always hit though!

My husband and I went to top golf for our anniversary and it was such a great experience! They asked us if we were celebrating anything and my husband said we were celebrating our anniversary. I thought they were just making small talk while we checked in but to my surprise a gentleman walked over to us and gave him a little light up ring to give to me and a cardboard cut out of a ring. It was the sweetest little thing that made our day that much more enjoyable while we were there. The only thing I was unsatisfied with was when a server brought out our food, my husband asked for honey mustard for our fries and after 15-30 mins we still did not get any. It wasn’t extremely busy so it was a bit frustrating. However, our actual server Sarah came over to ask how our food was and we expressed our enjoyment for our meals. We asked her for honey mustard and she got it out to us right away. She was a wonderful server! With that being said, thank you top golf for helping us celebrate our special day! Also, the boozy cherry limeade was phenomenal and I will be learning how to make that myself 😆

This a really solid top golf location. The staff, food, golfing, and environment were all excellent. As a non-golfer, can’t speak too much about the atmosphere or golfing, but to me it felt amazing! What I can comment on is the customer service and the food!!! I don’t usually write reviews, but just as a token of proof to build on what I said: My family was there on vacation and we love top golf! We had ordered food, but for whatever reason it got slightly delayed and our time was about to run out due to the wait. As a result, management came over, gave us a personal apology, 30 additional free minutes to our time, and you could tell they felt bad and were truly sorry about what had happened. The food was also amazing too! Depending on the person, delay in food can seem like a bad thing (were human, these things happen) or it can seem like a silly thing (not the end of the world). Either way, it’s so rare for me to experience staff at this high of a level who truly showed empathy, kindness, and guilt from the experience, so I had to write a review about it. Thanks for reading, you guys definitely need to go here! It was a blast.
