Both my son and I love top Golf, we're in the Durham area and was looking for something fun to do, any go wrong with top golf! We booked our bay online for 90mins. Arrived and checked in with the front desk. They have clubs and everything you'll need, just show up with fun energy! I also ordered a margarita, wasn't that good so I only had one. Great fun time and I love too Golf! read more

I had a truly frustrating experience at Topgolf Durham during what was supposed to be a nice date night. We had a booked reservation, yet when we arrived, they made us wait past our reserved time. First, we were told, "They're cleaning your bay." Then we were told we could go to a specific bay number they provided. When we got there, it was already occupied by guests who were having dinner and had just placed their order. How does that even happen? By this point, we had already been waiting over 30 minutes. We found a staff member who said he would "talk to the guests" and try to get them to leave faster. We were left standing there awkwardly while he said he was "talking to the manager" and told us to just wait. This was incredibly uncomfortable -- especially for a date. Unfortunately, it didn't end there. Once we finally got settled, there was no server around for quite a while. Even though we mentioned early on that we wanted to order drinks and food, no one came. Our drinks finally arrived almost an hour later. We were playing hungry and sober the entire time. When we tried to order dinner afterward, we were told the food would take at least another 30 minutes and that we would need to eat inside. After all the delays and confusion, we decided not to order at all. This was honestly one of the most disorganized and poorly managed customer experiences I've ever encountered. For a place that markets itself as fun and social, the lack of coordination, communication, and basic service was shocking. Definitely not the experience you'd expect or want for a date night. read more

I think this is a great Topgolf! This is my second time at this location and I came for a work holiday party. I loved the holiday decorations and drinks! I had one of each winter/holiday drink and the Hot Shot Cider was the best. The servers were great. The food was buffet style and it was decent, some items were better than others (the chicken tenders were my favorite). I really liked their chicken wings the last time I was at this Topgolf. I tried all the Topgolf games and I liked the Block Party game the best, but all of the games were fun! I hope to come back for a date with my husband on a weekday (it's cheaper to rent a bay Monday - Thursday). read more

This place is expensive. I think they market themselves as a luxury yet casual a place to hang out with friends or family, but the problem is the price is not justified for the mediocre food and experience. The systems are inconsistent and don't track the balls and the game tracking system is a little complicated. The service did not feel like a premium experience nor did it feel like people who are really taking care of you, it was just how can we spend more money and buy more food or things like that. Not impressed with the location or the staff, not sure if I would go again. The staff did not give me confidence that they knew much about anything other than getting you checked in. I don't think it was a really good experience. It was nice that it was a brand new facility and a new area though! read more

My family of 4 decided to try this place because usually all four of us have a very different taste and we end up checking our mobiles (a lot) whenever we try to do something together Believe it or not at top golf no mobiles came out from pockets because all of us were two busy beating each other's score.. the place was open, clean and we were given a private section to play.. we thoroughly enjoyed the time .. angry bird simulator was a family favourite! We ordered non alcoholic drinks and chips with dips.. our server was attentive and polite. Awesome time spent. Entry fee is pretty reasonable .. Already blocked a date to go back Need I say more .. I won two out of three games (this is for the record so there is no argument ) Yes, the Place could be cleaner .. but you know the world is not perfect so I am letting 5 star slide because we all had so much fun and that is what matters read more

I reserved the "Tailgate Package" with two bays for 7-12 people for a birthday party. The experience was not worth the cost. Our server was unaware of what was included with the package causing delay and confusion. Our party started about 15 minutes late, our server was slow getting the games turned on (we had to ask for them to be turned on). The manger on duty was apologetic. He placed our ice cream cake in the fridge while we waited. Once we were seated at our bay, he was kind enough to provide us with a table for gifts. The food was delayed in coming out. When I asked about the food, our server stated that it will be about another 30 minutes. Surprisingly, as I was inquiring about the food that was included with the package, a flatbread pizza was delivered to the table bc a party guest was hungry and placed an order. After further complaint, the food was delivered about 20 minutes later. I was not impressed with the food included with the package. The dips were not tasty: Kickin Dip 5/10, Dill dip (3/10), chips overcooked and unappetizing (1/10), the Mac and cheese bites were okay 6/10, ordered bone-in wings received boneless wings (3/10), the pork sliders were also unappetizing: the bread was hard, the pork's was dry and the coleslaw was runny (2/10). The guest enjoyed playing the golf games; but everyone has complained about having an upset stomachs following the party. read more

Made a reservation for Saturday night at the Durham location. I'm glad we did, when we walked in the people in front of us were told there was a two hour wait. I highly suggest you make a reservation for the weekend, our time was 8:00 but we arrived at 7:30 and was told we probably wouldn't be able to play until 8:00, which was fine. Went to the bar on the bottom floor, there were two bartenders and no one greater us, acknowledged us, nothing. Went waited there for 15 mins before the bartender asked if we needed anything. We asked if there were bars on other floors and she said yes all three so we went to the third floor since our bay would be there. I'm a great tipper and I have a problem not tipping even if the service is subpar. My partner gets on me all the time about this. I refused at that point to have her wait on us and give her a tip that she didn't deserve. On the third floor Ivory greeted us as soon as we walked in and sat at the bar. We ordered 3 shots and 4 beers. I then received the text that our bay was ready, asked to close out and I was shocked at the 82.00 bill. I looked at the itemized bill and we were charged for 5 shots. Brought this to Ivory's attention and she stated she would need to get a manger. If you know topgolf, you know the time starts when the bay is assigned. I dint want to want on a manager so just told her to make us two more shots and we will take the with us. We arrived to our bay, and since we had already checked in online our names were up and ready but the bay was not! Table was dirty, trash everywhere. I grabbed the nearest person who said they would get someone over to clean it up. Our waitress Dyanna came over shortly after and apologized about the table being dirty and took our order for drinks. We had the bay reserved for two hours, and about an hour in we decided to order food. We went with hot honey pepperoni pizza, fries, and they had these chicken sliders on the menu as a package meal but not available to order so we went with the chicken katsu sliders. The food arrived to us about 40 mins later and the fries weren't even hot! The chicken sliders were burnt and the side of ranch we ordered came even later. I probably will eat before I go next time or get the pizza, it was pretty good. Overall we had fun, just a lot of mishaps. read more

Had a small birthday celebration for my significant other here. We reserved two bays on the second level for a small group of friends (total of 8). The number was perfect for the bays. We also ordered one of the party trays with a variety of appetizers. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. I had a blast. Great service added to our good experience. I'd go back for sure. read more

A few weeks back, a group of friends made plans to go to the beach. After the group's primary plans were canceled, the group decided to meet here. Topgolf did a great job (on short notice) accommodating a fairly large group of approximately 30-35 ppl. Participants receive a designated area that will allow 1-10 users (if I remember correctly). Topgolf ensured each of our Bays were consecutive. Also, we received safety instructions and simplified game instructions. I'm a complete novice to golf beyond putt-putt. The instructions were useful, however it will take patience and time to fully understand how each of the games are scored and the best way to WIN (welp!). However, the process works so that you enter your name (email for first timers), determine a time limit, determine a game, and begin. The system knows where your ball lands and attributes points depending on the game. Overall a fun and interactive experience. I'd definitely grab a group and return. Please note flies/wasps can be an issue, especially if you order food/drinks. I did not order food or drinks, but there were reasonable drink specials and I heard the drinks were very good.

Had an event at Top Golf yesterday and it was outstanding. The service was good, the appetizers are appetizers and beer was good. The management at Top Golf was very positive and professional. Going during the week is a lot better than weekends. I am going back for sure. See you soon!!!!!! read more

I've gone to the top golfs in Charlotte and the one in Greensboro. This time, I can say we had an amazing server. She was very attentive and helpful. I can say they did help us a lot. They provided us with extra chairs because we had a lot of people and only 2 bays (extra people came). The food and drinks were good, and everyone had a great time. I would definitely return to this one. read more

My brother and his kids came into town for a visit. My kids have never been to topgolf. Took advantage the weekday deal. All the kids had fun. My son was really invested in improving his swing. We had a day that had couches and a little table so it was super comfy. Since it was a hot day, all the fans were going. We also got some food, which was also pretty good. Our server was very attentive and helpful. read more

Came here last summer with some friends. We were super exited that a TopGolf opened up near our home. This place has great gameplay and has better technology compared to other similar golf venues. Obviously the prices can be steep at times so plan accordingly, however they are most reasonable times you can attend (off peak). The staff seemed friendly and fulfilled our orders in a timely manner. Ambiance is cool since it over looks the RDU area, so you can see planes takeoff and land while your playing golf. Overall fun place to go with golf lovers! read more

Had a great time with family, big and small, with maybe a bit of competition! Good service and the weather held out. Pretzel bites were enjoyed by the kids. read more

Great experience! Visited on an abnormally cold evening for here in NC. We were able to secure unreserved seating in the second level which was nice and appreciated. Luckily their outdoor set up is great with heating as we were able to stay outdoor and still stay warm. The checkin staff was very welcoming and accommodating for a novice group visiting their first time and not understanding how things work. Service nice seated was attentive and quick. Food (appetizers) were great as were the drinks. We did try to watch the hornets basketball game after but they do not seem to have the paid services for sports. Something to keep in mind if you expect to hang out indoors and have a pick of what you'd like to watch (if call ahead of time). I will definitely be coming back! Slot of fun for groups. read more

This our first time at Top-golf, we normally go to Drive shack. So there's a party of nine of us and we walked in and asked for two areas and was told that it was gonna be two hours.. this is completely understandable since it is the day after Thanksgiving. We have been eating and drinking for the last two hours and when we went to go check in on our spot they told us since we did not make a reservation that it would be another two hours because they keep skipping us for the people who did. First off, what kind of bullshit is this!!?? If we walk in you should recommend us making an online reservation or doing it for us since we're literally right there. I don't know if it's the person behind the counter that screwed up or what but we honestly will never come back here ever again. We just spent a fortune at your bar to be then treated like this. You expect your customers to sit around for four hours to play golf!!!???? Never again! read more

Overpriced and mediocre. The food all looks good but has a disappointing taste. It's way too expensive to come hit golf balls.

We went during the winter months and I had a good time. The staff was nice and stayed in touch with and we got have a good game. They had warmers outside that kept the temperature nice and I even got warm and needed to take off my coat. The food was we order a bunch of apps with some beers. The membership fee is kinda annoying but otherwise it was good. read more

First time at the Durham/RTP Top Golf and the weather is beautiful. For that reason, there's a bit of a wait (1-2 hours). Plan to book on the app if you prefer not to wait, although I didn't have an issue as time as not a factor for me. I ordered a bite to eat while awaiting a bay opening. The bar tender was really nice and the food was good. I preferred the Dirty Pepsi over the Strawberry & Crème Starry, the burger was the best part of the meal. I will definitely attend again in the future Unika B. & Co. read more

Along with a fun golfing experience, they also have good food. The hot honey pepperoni pizza was as good as plenty of actual pizza restaurants. Choosing to eat and play at the same time makes for a fun date night. Go play some golf and enjoy some good food! read more

A bit different than other Top Golf's Maybe the night? Maybe because it seems so far out in the boonies? Dunno? Either way, they changed the rental to per BAY not per person, I think 6 was the limit. Not too busy. Good service at the table and bar. Food typical sub-par of Top Golf's, but you are not there for the food! We reserved a bay 2 wks ahead of time and made a nice team building event without a huge $$$ read more

Came here with some friends and had a great time. Definitely a fun spot whether you are a golf pro or just going for fun with friends.

We took my son and his friend for his birthday. Facilities were clean, games fun. However, food service completely ruined the outing. We ordered 2 appetizers. Only one arrived. Our host came back a bit later to check on the second one (it showed as sent back). We ordered meals with roughly an hour left in our 90 minute block. With 10 minutes left, 2 of the 4 meals arrived (but of course, not my son's). I asked if we'd be allowed to stay in the bay to eat when the other 2 arrived, and were firmly told no (somehow the bay next to us, who ordered at the same time, received food, and was allowed to stay). When time ran out, no sign of the other 2 meals. They did issue a credit for part of the bay time, and the 2 meals and 1 appetizer that never showed up, but it definitely put a damper on the night - next time we'll try DriveShack read more

Top notch service and food! Lake-The Manager of the 1st floor was amazing! I reserved for the wrong day and he quickly accommodated MY error. He was warm and very friendly. Our server Jasmine was patient and available when we needed her. There were a lot of us there for a birthday celebration. Guests raved over the food and drinks. My only complaint is the $6 fee for non-members that can quickly add up when you have 2 or 3 bays and 18 people playing. This fee should be included in the rental fee for the bays...not sprung on you when you set up your game! Definitely more expensive than anticipated...Overall we really enjoyed our TopGolf experience in Durham. We will definitely go again. read more

I love Topgolf in concept, but where things can go awry is in service and machine reliability. For us, service was painfully slow and we had technical issues with our bay. Service-wise, I don't think it was entirely our server's fault. Our server was polite, friendly, and got us what we ordered/requested. It just took way too long. A couple examples: (1) I don't think we got water until maybe 30-45 minutes into our two-hour visit and (2) we didn't get any napkins until maybe an hour in (and we had to ask for them). During our visit, the staff situation looked like a bit of a cluster and the servers appeared stretched thin. Machine-wise, we kept having problems getting balls to dispense and registering players correctly. Also, our bay needed a ball refill in the middle of our game. All of this led to wasted time (downtime) that we paid for. Above are the main reasons for my three-star rating. This Topgolf location in Durham opened on April 12, 2024. It's situated just off I-40 exit 282 (Page Road), between Research Triangle Park and the Raleigh-Durham airport (RDU). It's in a central location, convenient to all three Triangle cities. Currently, this is the only Topgolf location in the Triangle. There's a Drive Shack (competitor) in Raleigh, but I heard Topgolf is nicer and better than Drive Shack in general. I've never been to a Drive Shack, so I can't say from personal experience. In North Carolina, there are two other Topgolf locations in Charlotte and a new one planned for Greensboro. According to the company's press release on this location in Durham, this was the 99th outdoor Topgolf location to open globally: https://press.topgolf.com/2024-04-01-Long-Awaited-Topgolf-Durham-Opens-Friday,-April-12 I've been to two Topgolf locations in metro Atlanta, one in Nashville, and now this one in Durham. They're all built the same. They're nice. If you've never been to one, you can think of it as an expensive driving range with a bar atmosphere. A lot of people compare the experience to bowling, where you can rent a lane, bowl, enjoy food and drink, and hang out with people. It's the same at Topgolf, except more technology is involved. For example, every golf ball that is dispensed is registered to a certain player. When that ball is hit, Topgolf's system is able to keep track of where it lands for scoring purposes. The system has several games to choose from. You don't have to be good at golf to enjoy Topgolf. The games are designed for all skill levels. We had a group of six and had the most fun playing the Topgolf version of Angry Birds. Most of the folks in our group, composed of both males and females, weren't golfers and everyone seemed to enjoy Angry Birds the most. I recommend it if you have a lot of non-golfers in your group. Every player in your group has to sign up for a Topgolf account in order to play. It's $5 per person. That's one way they get you. It'd been years since my last visit to a Topgolf. I was surprised to see my membership was still active and all my games had been saved, back to when I first signed up in July 2014. For each game, it shows the date, time, type of game, Topgolf location, number of players, each player's name, and each player's score. Pretty cool. I like how all that data is saved. Games I've played with others include TopScramble, TopChip, TopShot Rookie and Advanced, and TopScore. Check out all of the games, along with descriptions, available at the Durham location here: https://topgolf.com/us/raleigh-durham/play/games/ Topgolf's prices vary depending on day and time. Friday through Sunday nights are the most expensive at $58 per hour per bay (current pricing at the time of writing this review) plus your $5 member fee if it's your first time, tax, and tip. Each bay can accommodate up to six players and each has a set of men's and women's clubs. The tip goes to your server ("Bayhost"). After you add food and drinks, Topgolf gets expensive quickly. Drinks we ordered included the Topgolf Margaritas Teremana Reposada (2x at $12 each), a Season Opener ($10) made with New Amsterdam Vodka, ginger beer, and grape juice, Blue Moon beer (2x at $6.75 each), Aperol Spritzes (2x at $12.75 each), an Espresso Martini ($12) made with Kahlua and Ketel One Vodka, and a Spiked Strawberry Lemonade ($10.50) made with Tito's Handmade Vodka. The drinks were fine. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I do think Topgolf is a bit of a racket in that the company's pricing is designed so that you'll likely have funds you paid for leftover in your account. Topgolf just keeps that money. For example, my account has had $32.50 sitting in it unused for eight-plus years.

Came here to celebrate some birthdays and honestly had a really fun time! This was my first time at one of these places and I really enjoyed the games. We also loved the lemon pepper wings - they were delicious. Pretty much everything we ordered was good.

I would absolutely come back at night during the summers for wings and wins! read more

Terrible service. Went with some friends recently. Two families. Everyone ordered food at the same time. 20 min later one family received their food. The other was told theirs should be coming out shortly. 20 more minutes later we are told it should just be another 10 minutes. 30 more minutes later we are told no food would be coming and if they put the food order in again it wouldn't done before our bay time was up. Imagine going to a restaurant and never getting your food. Crazy experience. read more

I have been to Topgolf twice now and have really enjoyed it! There are so many games to choose from, my favorites are the angry birds and aiming games. They also have a good selection of beverages and food. All of the food and drinks that we have tried have been good. The bay prices do depend on the time of day and day that you visit. I personally liked it better than Drive Shack and recommend reserving a bay but if you do not then just be prepared to possibly wait. read more

Finally, Triangle Top Golf is here! I do wish they had the putting green or mini golf like some other locations do. I arrived around 10 am on a Friday and was given my bay immediately. The staff was quite helpful. Unfortunately, they were a little confused about the weekday morning discount, so I had to ask twice for my bill to get corrected. But it did get resolved. The pretzel bites were really good. They came hot with some crunch and the queso and mustard dipping sauces were both enjoyable. The staff kept my beverage glasses filled. Excellent location, right off Highway 40. But that space is going to get pretty crazy once the Go Kart track is constructed. read more

So excited they finally opened. We came on a Thursday afternoon after work so it wasn't busy at all. We were on the second floor and everything was new and clean.

I had soooo much fun here! We didn't buy any food because we heard that it wasn't worth the price, but we definitely got our money's worth with discounted Sunday pricing and relatively inexpensive drinks! We had five people and drank two pitchers with around 3 random other drinks and the bill was just over $125 including the bay rental! Our server, Mimi, was on top of it the whole time. I would definitely come back - it's like bowling but wayyyy better. Tip: make a reservation! read more

Went with my team from work for a going away party for a co-worker. Had the feel of bowling but we got to enjoy the good weather. Didn't really enjoy the simulations of my shots and never really understood the scoring, but it was fun enough. The food was ok, but they somehow ran out of margaritas. I had a good time but it's not a place I'd be running back to, I think I'd just prefer a place where I can enjoy a drink in the good weather, no golf required. read more

The course has improved so much! Had a great time golfing with friends. The new management company is great!

We went on a Saturday night without reservations so there was an hour wait to play. But they do take your number and will text and call you for a response when it's time. While waiting we sat at the bar to grab a bite to eat. And we all agreed will probably avoid food next time. Our order came out wrong the first time after we confirmed changes, it was re-made but still wrong so we didn't even worry about. And it took awhile for an order of fries to come out with some wings. We didn't play golf since we were over it and hungry. But we are willing to try it again just for that. From looking around it looks really fun but we noticed a lot of people from the younger generation lol. So maybe we'll try one afternoon. read more
