Can I Smoke While Playing at Topgolf?

Golf Rules & Etiquette
1

I’ve been planning a visit to Topgolf with some friends and wanted to check on something important to me—can you smoke at Topgolf? I couldn’t find a clear answer on their website, and I know different locations might have varying rules.

I’m not looking to cause any trouble, but I’d love to enjoy a smoke while relaxing and golfing. If anyone has been to a Topgolf recently, could you share your experience?

Here are some specific questions I have:

  • Is smoking allowed on the tee line or other areas?
  • What about vaping? Are there designated areas for that?
  • Have any of you hosted events there and had to consider the smoking policies?

I understand that these places may have a family-friendly environment, and that’s totally cool, but just wanted to be sure before I make any plans. Looking forward to your insights and any tips you have! Thanks in advance!

P.S. If anyone knows if these rules vary by location, I’d appreciate that info as well!

Topgolf policies on smoking can really vary from one location to another. Some places have designated smoking areas outside, while others might be completely smoke-free. Always check the site for details before you head out!

That’s a great point! I’ve noticed some locations allow smoking only in certain areas. It’s best to look up the specific location you plan to visit.

I think some recent changes have made many Topgolf locations non-smoking indoors. Always a bummer if you’re used to lighting up while waiting for your turn!

At my local Topgolf in Texas, they have a smoking patio which is super helpful. Just be sure to check if that’s a universal thing or if it varies by location.

That’s true! I remember visiting one that had signs everywhere about no smoking indoors. It really gave a family-friendly vibe.

I’ve heard that some locations in California have even stricter policies due to state laws. Definitely check ahead!

Nice! For those of us who don’t smoke, that might be a good reason to avoid those areas, haha.

I think it’s important to respect the smoking policies. Some folks might have allergies or simply prefer smoke-free environments.

So what happens when you get to a location where smoking is allowed but there’s not enough space in the designated area? Do they turn you away?

11

That’s a good question! I wonder if they’d offer alternative solutions or if you’d have to wait?

I’ve seen some outdoor areas filled with smoke and it’s not the most pleasant experience, especially when you’re trying to enjoy a game.

Totally agree! It can be a buzzkill when you just want to have fun. Maybe it’s safer to go somewhere else if you don’t want smoke around.

Ultimately, I think as long as everyone is respectful of the rules, there shouldn’t be a problem. Just remember to check the local policies!

I think smoking in social places like Topgolf can be contentious. Secondhand smoke affects non-smokers and can ruin the fun for others. It’s worth considering if you’re going to spark up.

16

That’s a valid point! I believe venues should respect everyone’s comfort and health. How often do you see smokers just ignore others around them?

At Topgolf, I often see people smoking at their bays, but I can imagine it might be uncomfortable for non-smokers. As a smoker, I try to be considerate, but it can be tricky!

18

Exactly! It’s about balance. Some places have designated smoking areas, which could help maintain a better atmosphere for all.

I think the vibe at places like Topgolf is all about having fun, so I’d hate for smoking to spoil it. I’ve witnessed families getting pushed away by smoke!

As someone who doesn’t smoke, it’s uncomfortable being around it. I’d prefer if establishments decided to go smoke-free altogether. It just feels healthier that way!
