Can You Have More Than 6 People At Topgolf? (Group Size Info & More At Topgolf)

Attention, all ye fine folks and golf aficionados! Are you smitten by the desire to swing those clubs amidst good company, but confuzzled about the maximum number of people you can bring along to the fantastic playground that is Topgolf?

Well, roll up your sleeves and grab a seat, because you’ve hit the bullseye with this article! The burning question on your mind, a riddle wrapped in an enigma, is, “Can you squeeze more than 6 merry souls into a single Topgolf bay?” Let’s dig in, shall we?

First off, let me extend a virtual tip of the hat to you, future Arnold Palmers and Michelle Wies of the world, for your curiosity and eagerness to know more about Topgolf. It’s not just your average driving range, but a vibrant combination of food, fun, and fellowship (with a healthy dose of competition thrown into the mix).

But let’s not beat around the bush here – we’re not just here to sing praises about Topgolf. You’re here for the inside scoop, the real meat and potatoes – the lowdown on how many golfing comrades you can bring along.

Ah, the allure of Topgolf. The way the sun gleams off the clubs, the triumphant ping as the club connects with the ball. I remember the first time I stepped into a Topgolf, clutching a bag of clubs like a knight going into battle, with my three tiny protégés (12, 8, and 5 years old, bless their cotton socks) in tow.

The sense of excitement was as palpable as the anticipation of Christmas morning. But I digress.

The crux of the matter is, navigating through the stormy seas of Topgolf’s rules and regulations can be quite the caper. But don’t worry!

I’ll be your lighthouse amidst this fog of confusion, guiding you through each twist and turn, covering every nook and cranny there is to Topgolf’s bay booking, capacity rules, group sizes, and all those niggling questions you’ve got bouncing around your noggin. Let the games begin!

Understanding Topgolf’s Bay Booking and Capacity Rules

Now, before we go any further, let’s make sure we’re all singing from the same hymn sheet. When we talk about a ‘bay’ at Topgolf, we’re not referring to a sunny beach location where you can kick back and relax (although that does sound delightful).

A bay at Topgolf is essentially your little corner of golfing paradise, your designated area where you, your friends, your family, or even your foes can enjoy a splendid time, swinging, eating, and laughing to your heart’s content.

Is there anything better?

Now that we’ve cleared that up, let’s get to the heart of the matter – the capacity rules. Topgolf, in all its wisdom, has a rule that each bay can hold up to six golfing enthusiasts at any given time.

Topgolf only allows you to have a maximum of 6 people in a single bay. If you have more than 6 people in your party then you will have to reserve and use multiple bays. Topgolf can arrange for them to be right next to each other so everyone can join in the fun but you can’t get away with putting more than 6 people in a bay.

Why six, you ask? Well, remember that day in kindergarten when you had to share your favorite toy with the rest of the kids? It’s a bit like that.

Topgolf wants to make sure everyone gets a fair crack at hitting the balls, and limiting the bay to six people ensures that everyone can get in plenty of swings without spending too much time twiddling their thumbs and tapping their feet.

If the recent rumblings in the rumor mill are to be believed, Topgolf might be planning to tweak their capacity rules a tad. But as of now, the rule stands firm – six people to a bay, no more. You might

find yourself thinking, “Why, that’s just a bucket of cold water on my plans!“, but don’t fret, my friend. There’s more than one way to skin a cat, or in this case, to enjoy a rollicking time at Topgolf with your friends.

One such way, and here’s where we slip into the realm of conjecture, is the concept of booking multiple bays. Now, before you get your hopes up, let me drop a word of caution.

This is going to lead to some additional costs. specifically when you have to use two bays… you have to pay twice as much.

To give you a picture of the possible outcomes, here are a few scenarios:

• Scenario 1: You and your merry band of seven golfing enthusiasts show up at Topgolf. The attendant informs you that the maximum number per bay is six. You decide to book two bays, spreading your group across the two spaces. This means more space and more opportunities to swing that club! However, this also means shelling out for the cost of two bays.
• Scenario 2: You arrive with a group of 12. You split the group into two and book two separate bays. However, these bays may not be side by side, potentially leading to a split in the group dynamics. However, as long as you reserve the bays in advance or tell the person at Topgolf you want the bays together then it won’t be an issue.

I’m sure by now you’re catching my drift. It’s not as simple as “more the merrier”, but with some planning, you can still have a whale of a time.

Special Occasions: Hosting Larger Groups at Topgolf

The clock strikes twelve, balloons float into the sky, and the sound of ‘Happy Birthday’ echoes through the air. You’re celebrating your best friend’s 30th at Topgolf, and you’ve got a whole crew ready to party.

But wait a minute, there are more than six of you. Can you book more than one bay?

The answer is a resounding yes! Topgolf is more than equipped to handle your festive shindigs and corporate shebangs, whether it’s a birthday party, a team-building event, or your Uncle Bob’s retirement do.

Topgolf’s event packages cater to larger groups, and you can easily book multiple bays side by side. But remember, always book in advance!

You wouldn’t want to show up with your whole entourage only to find out there’s no room at the inn.

And let me tell you, there’s nothing quite like the thrill of nailing a perfect swing while your friends cheer you on, or the camaraderie that comes with a bit of friendly competition.

It’s all part and parcel of the Topgolf experience.

Consider my youngest, a sweet little cherub of five with a swing that could put Tiger Woods to shame (I may be a tad biased here). She had her birthday party at Topgolf, and let me tell you, those kids had a blast.

There was laughter, high-fives, and more than a few missed swings, but the joy in their eyes was worth every penny.

In conclusion, while Topgolf’s standard rule is a maximum of six people per bay, there are ways to accommodate larger groups, particularly for special occasions by reserving multiple bays. It’s all a matter of planning and communication.

So gather your troops, book your bays, and let the good times roll!

Alternatives to Topgolf for Large Group Events

Right then, let’s say you’re dead-set on having a golfing soiree with a large group, and Topgolf’s 6-person rule just isn’t cutting it. Well, don’t throw in the towel just yet! There are plenty of other golf-entertainment complexes out there that might tickle your fancy.

However, most golfing venues will have similar rules on max players per bay (as you will see below) so be sure and find out if your local golfing venue has a larger bay that can handle more people in it (for a higher rental fee of course).

Let’s run through a few of them:

• Drive Shack – With locations scattered across the country, Drive Shack is another excellent choice for golf enthusiasts. Their bays can accommodate up to 6 players, but they offer event packages for larger groups.
• Flying Tee – Offering a blend of golf and entertainment similar to Topgolf, Flying Tee also accommodates group events and parties. Check their policies for group sizes and booking procedures.

In the table below, you’ll find a quick comparison of Topgolf, Drive Shack, and Flying Tee.

Venue	Bay Capacity	Large Group Accommodations	Cost
Topgolf	6	Yes, with advance booking	Varies
Drive Shack	6	Yes, with event packages	Varies
Flying Tee	6	Yes, with event packages	Varies

Remember, the most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the experience, no matter where you decide to go. Because at the end of the day, whether you’re at Topgolf or some other venue, whether you’re swinging a club like a pro or completely missing the ball (like my middle kiddo during his first few tries – bless his determined little heart), it’s all about creating memories and enjoying the time spent together.

Large Group Dynamics at Topgolf

So, we’ve cracked the code on bay capacities, group booking protocols, and even other options for a place like Topgolf. But what happens when you actually have a large group at Topgolf?

Well, grab a drink, and let’s deep dive into the dynamic world of large group outings at Topgolf.

First, let’s set the stage. You’ve booked your bays, got the gang together, and everyone is buzzing with anticipation. It’s a mixed bag of folks – some seasoned golfers, a few novices, and a couple who are just there for the giggles.

So, how do you ensure that everyone has a whale of a time?

1. Rotate the players: Keep things fresh and lively by letting everyone have a go at the game. Remember, it’s not the Ryder Cup; it’s all about having fun. So, whether they swing like Rory McIlroy or can’t hit a barn door from ten paces, everyone gets a shot.
2. Engage in friendly competition: Nothing brings a group together like a bit of healthy rivalry. Start a friendly competition, and watch as the atmosphere buzzes with excitement.
3. Encourage the beginners: We were all beginners once, even the pros. So if you’ve got some newbies in your group, lend them a hand. Remember, the golf club isn’t a baseball bat, and swinging harder doesn’t always mean swinging better.

There’s a saying – “The more, the merrier.” But when you have a large group at Topgolf, it’s more like “The more, the manage-ier.”

Balancing the fun and the frustration, the laughter and the learning can be quite the high-wire act.

For instance, take my kids, who are at different stages of their golfing journey. The 12-year-old is a little golfing guru in the making, the 8-year-old is finding his footing, and the 5-year-old, well, let’s just say she’s there for the fun of it all.

It’s a bit like herding cats, but with a bit of patience and a lot of laughter, it always turns out to be a day to remember.
