FAQs
Can I Sue If I Signed a Topgolf Waiver?
Yes, you can still sue over injuries if you signed a Topgolf waiver:
- Waivers will not protect Topgolf in the event that injuries occurred due to Topgolf’s negligence.
- Waivers will also not protect Topgolf in the event that injuries occurred due to dangerous conditions that Topgolf knew or should have known about but failed to do anything about.
How Safe Is Topgolf?
Topgolf has numerous safety features in place, including:
- Designated hitting areas: Only a single person is allowed to be on the golf mat and hit the ball at one time. Others need to remain behind red safety lines.
- Extensive netting: The facility has large nets placed around it to protect property and guests and contain golf balls. However, the nets might not be foolproof, as personal injury cases have shown.
- Supervised minors: Guests under the age of 16 are required to be supervised by adults over the age of 21. This supervision extends to those under 18 after 9 PM.
- Alcohol policies: Topgolf has policies which can prevent overserving. They will refuse to serve those who appear intoxicated. This is vital since alcohol has been reported to be a key factor in a lot of incidents.
However, despite these safety features, there have been serious injuries reported due to a few factors, including:
- Drinking: While Topgolf employees aren’t supposed to serve alcohol to customers who appear intoxicated, it appears to us that, in reality, Topgolf encourages excessive drinking. The primary draw of Topgolf, for many people, is being able to have a fun night eating and drinking with friends while hitting golf balls, and the company’s branding encourages customers to drink. Many injuries which have been reported at Topgolf facilities have been the result of drinking. Alcohol can lead to customers falling because they can’t maintain balance, balls hitting customers, or clubs slipping out of the hands of customers.
- Inadequate safety standards: Topgolf lacks vertical nets that could block flying clubs and balls from striking customers. Many injuries could be prevented by netting systems similar to those you’d see in baseball stadiums.
- Accidental club strikes: Numerous incidents have been reported of guests being struck by clubs, particularly in crowded bays, and it was illuminated by a recent lawsuit that kids get affected by these incidents disproportionately. Some people get injured when people swing their club backward.
- Falls: Guests have been seriously injured after falling off upper-level decks. Lawsuits have alleged faulty or inadequate netting.
- Errant golf balls: The netting at Topgolf facilities is designed to end up catching most golf balls. However, some golf balls have injured customers when they ricocheted off of surfaces or were hit backward. One customer was reportedly sitting at her table when she was struck in the eye by a golf ball struck by an intoxicated customer, losing her eye in the process.
- Slip and fall hazards: Spills and crowded or wet walkways can lead to slip-and-fall accidents, particularly when combined with the consumption of alcohol.
- Altercations: Some incidents have involved guests fighting. This can lead to serious injury or even death, as happened in a fatal incident in Nashville in 2024. Guests can become injured when fights get out of hand due to inadequate security.
Our lawyers believe that so many injuries occur at Topgolf locations because Topgolf doesn’t utilize adequate safety standards.
Has Topgolf Been Sued?
Yes. Topgolf has faced numerous lawsuits, including:
- $15 million Topgolf lawsuit: In September 2025, Topgolf was found negligent by a federal jury, who ordered them to pay $15 million to a child and the child’s family. The lawsuit was filed in federal court after a 9-year-old boy suffered a brain injury and fractured skull after a golf club hit him at a birthday party in Oregon. It is alleged that the boy’s injuries required emergency neurosurgery, according to court documents. The lawsuit alleged that the Hillsboro Topgolf location failed to adequately warn about injuries, provided inadequate employee supervision and training, failed to install safety barriers between seating and hitting areas, and knew about previous accidents and injuries at their facilities.
- Las Vegas sex assault lawsuit: In 2021, Topgolf reached a confidential settlement after a lawsuit was filed by four former employees alleging that a former Topgolf chef was a “serial sexual predator” who attacked coworkers in the kitchen. The lawsuit alleged that Topgolf covered up, enabled and accepted this “predatory conduct.”
- Topgolf fall lawsuit: A man filed a lawsuit in 2013, alleging that he fell from the second level of a Dallas Topgolf facility and the anti-fall netting system failed to protect him. The lawsuit alleged that the injury ended his Air Force career and that the man will have to live with disabilities and pain for the remainder of his life.
- Topgolf assault lawsuit: In 2023, a Long Island man filed a lawsuit alleging that he as well as his family were attacked in a fight which involved drunk patrons. The lawsuit alleged that security guards failed to protect customers and did nothing to quell the violence. The lawsuit alleged that the man was left with periorbital fractures and his relative was left with a concussion after an allegedly drunk golfer hit him with a golf club. The lawsuit accused Topgolf of continuing to serve drunken customers alcohol and failing to keep the man and his family safe.
- Topgolf Ohio assault lawsuit: An Ohio Topgolf patron filed a lawsuit alleging that a customer was served alcohol while being “visibly intoxicated,” leading to that intoxicated customer striking him with a golf flub. The lawsuit alleged that the person suffered back and neck injuries as well as torn shoulder ligaments.
How Many People Have Fallen at Topgolf?
No official public statistic exists regarding the number of people who have fallen at Topgolf.
However, there are several cases which have been documented of people falling at Topgolf facilities:
- 2012 saw an Air Force Serviceman end up paralyzed after falling at Topgolf.
- 2013 saw a man fall through netting at a Dallas Topgolf facility. The man’s foot ended up going through the net, leading to him falling to the ground.
- 2017 saw two men hospitalized after falling from a Topgolf facility’s second-floor deck. The men suffered minor injuries after getting into a fight and falling.
What Should I Do If I’m Injured at Topgolf?
If you are injured at Topgolf, you should:
- Seek medical care: Seek medical attention as quickly as possible, even if you don’t think you’ve been hurt all that badly. Some injuries don’t show symptoms for weeks or months after an accident, and it’s important to have all injuries documented by a medical professional as soon as possible so Topgolf or their insurer can’t claim that something else caused your injury.
- Document everything: Take pictures and videos of any dangerous conditions as well as your injuries. Write down your version of what happened as quickly as you can, since memories can fade quickly. Get the contact information of any witnesses. Get statements from any witnesses.
- Report the accident: Report the accident to the manager at Topgolf. Request a copy of the accident report.
- Contact an attorney: Contact a lawyer as soon as possible so evidence can be preserved and your legal rights can be protected.
