Can You Play Topgolf in the Rain? Looking for Insights!

General Discussion

I’ve been thinking about heading to Topgolf this weekend, but the weather forecast says it’s likely to rain. I’m curious if it’s still worth going on a rainy day or if it’s just better to wait for clearer skies.

Here are some specific points I’m considering:

  • Playing Conditions: How does rain affect the turf and the balls? Will everything be slippery?
  • Safety: Is there any risk of lightning, or are there safety measures in place?
  • Experience: Is it still fun to play when it’s wet? Do the crowds tend to thin out, or does everyone brave the weather?

If you’ve played at Topgolf in the rain before, I’d love to hear about your experience! Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Topgolf has a clear rain policy: if there’s light rain, you can usually still play, but during heavy rain or storms, they might temporarily close the outdoor areas for safety. Always good to check their local policy!

Yes, they have rain gear available, but it’s still best to call ahead and check if the weather will affect your reservation. Better safe than soggy!

That’s good to know! I’ve heard they provide rain jackets for guests when the weather gets a bit drizzly. Has anyone experienced that?

I once played during light rain and it turned out to be a blast! Just a little slippery. They also serve hot chocolate, which is perfect for the moment!

That sounds fun! Does the lighting ever get dimmer in the rain, or is it just normal?

7

The lights stay the same! Just make sure you watch for water puddles on the mats; might want to avoid diving for those balls!

Agreed! Safety first! Have they ever had to close the whole place down during really bad storms?

Definitely! If there’s lightning, they clear everyone off the field. They take safety very seriously.

Totally understand that! Nobody wants to play golf during a lightning storm. But what about refunds if you’re rained out?

If your game gets canceled due to weather, they usually offer a rain check for a future visit. Just need to confirm with the location!

I’ve played at Topgolf in the rain before! It was a bit slippery, but we still had a blast. Just be sure to wear shoes with good grip!

That’s great to hear, erin71! How did the staff handle it? Were there any adjustments in the games? I’m curious about that aspect.

We experienced a slight delay because they had to clear the area, but once we got started, it was super fun! Rain adds a unique vibe, you know?

That sounds like an adventure! Did the rain affect the scoring or gameplay at all?

Not really! The targets were still visible, but the balls got a bit wet. We found ourselves laughing more than we were serious about scoring!

I agree with sherrirussell! We were trying to make the best of it and ended up playing silly games to keep the fun flowing.
