We suggest wearing more than one layer when going to TopGolf in the winter, one thick layer to keep you warm when sitting, and another thinner long sleeve layer to wear when hitting, you will be cold when hitting, but you do not want to be restricted by a big bulky jacket when trying to hit the golf ball.

Men

This obviously depends on your date, however dressing in something smart casual to casual would be your best bet. If you are going to wear smart shoes, we suggest taking them off when hitting, so you should be comfortable with doing that.

If you are going casual, jeans, chinos and shorts will work. A normal t-shirt will also do the trick. TopGolf is very relaxed so just make sure you wear something that is easy enough to swing a golf club in.
