We already established why Topgolf is the perfect place for beginners to fall in love with the game. It combines high-tech golf tracking with incredible food, drinks, and a party atmosphere.

However, let’s be honest: renting a bay on a Saturday night and ordering a few rounds of appetizers and drinks is not exactly cheap. If you go frequently, the costs can add up shockingly fast.

But don’t worry! If you know the right tricks, you can dramatically cut your costs. Here are three insider secrets to saving big money at Topgolf so you can keep swinging without breaking the bank.

1. The Ultimate Hack: The Costco Gift Card

This is arguably the best-kept secret in golf entertainment, and you do not want to miss out on it.

If you have a Costco membership (or a friend who does), you can buy Topgolf gift cards at a massive discount. Usually, you can purchase a $100 Topgolf gift card for only $79.99.

That is an instant 20% discount on your entire Topgolf experience before you even walk through the doors.

• How to use it: These gift cards are essentially cash. You can use them to pay for your bay time, golf lessons, merchandise, and yes—even your food and drinks!
• The Math: If you go to Topgolf a few times a year, buying these discounted cards will save you so much money that it actually pays for your Costco membership fee entirely.

2. The Summer Fun Pass: Unlimited Value

If you are planning to spend a lot of time at Topgolf during the summer months, you need to buy the Summer Fun Pass.

For a one-time fee of just $179, this pass unlocks an absurd amount of value:

• Play Every Day: You get two hours of free bay time every single day during the pass season.
• Bring Your Friends: You can bring up to 5 guests with you completely for free to share your bay.
• Food Discounts: You and your guests will also enjoy an exclusive 10% discount on all food and non-alcoholic drinks.

If you use this pass just twice a week, it pays for itself almost instantly. It is the perfect excuse to practice your swing all summer long.

3. The Playmore Membership: Free Hours & Appetizers

For the year-round Topgolf addict, the Playmore Membership is the VIP club you want to join.

For $220 a year, you unlock a steady stream of consistent perks that make every visit better:

• Free Bay Time: You get one free hour of gameplay every single month.
• Free Appetizers: This is the best part—you get a free appetizer every time you visit.

Topgolf is famous for having shockingly good food, and their appetizer menu is fantastic. My absolute favorite is the Roasted Beet Hummus Plate. It is vibrant, incredibly delicious, surprisingly healthy, and tastes infinitely better when it is completely free!

Final Thoughts

You do not have to pay full price to enjoy the best entertainment in golf. By utilizing the Costco gift card trick, grabbing a Summer Fun Pass, or investing in a Playmore Membership, you can spend more time enjoying those glowing targets and delicious appetizers while keeping your wallet happy.
