Topgolf is a driving range wrapped around a bar and kitchen — 103 venues across 38 US states as of the venue list we checked on 28 July 2026, plus international sites including four in the UK. The food arrives at your bay while you hit. So what can a vegan actually order?
Answer: Topgolf says it has vegan options and will not tell you which ones they are. Its own FAQ answers “Do you have any vegan options?” with a single sentence — “Yes, we have items on our menu that are vegan or can be modified to be vegan” — and then names none of them. There is no allergen chart, no ingredient list and no nutrition table anywhere on the US site. That means nothing on the US menu can be confirmed vegan from an official source.
This is a correction to what this page used to say. An earlier version stated flatly that “Topgolf does not offer vegan-friendly options on its menu” and told vegans not to visit. That contradicts Topgolf’s own published answer, and we have removed it. The honest position is not “there is nothing” — it is “the company says there is something and refuses to say what.”
Everything below comes from Topgolf’s own Food & Drink page and its FAQ, both checked on 28 July 2026.
What Topgolf Actually Publishes
Three things, and it is worth being precise about them because the gap between them is the whole problem.
A vegetarian list. The Food & Drink page names items that “are vegetarian or can be modified to be vegetarian”: Cheesy Macaroni Bites, Warm Pretzel Bites, Queso Blanco & Chips, Fiesta Nachos, Mediterranean Trio, Cheese Flatbread, Farmhouse Flatbread, French Fries, Tater Tots, Topgolf Donut Hole-In-Ones, Cookie Crumble Sundae and Kids Grilled Cheese. It adds one modification: “Sub a Black Bean Patty on any of our burgers.”
A gluten-friendly list, which is a different list again and mostly meat and cheese.
A cross-contact warning, verbatim: “Products containing allergens and gluten are stored in this kitchen. Please be aware that there may be a chance of cross-contact so we cannot guarantee these products for those with a food allergy or celiac disease.” Topgolf asks you to tell your server about allergies before ordering.
What it does not publish is a per-item allergen grid, an ingredient statement, or any nutrition figures — despite the page carrying the title “Food and Drink Menu & Nutritional Info.” The full item-level menu is served per venue and varies by location, and the site says so: “menu selections are subject to availability and may vary by venue.”
Vegetarian Is Not Vegan — and That List Proves It
Read the vegetarian list again. Cheesy Macaroni Bites, Queso Blanco, Cheese Flatbread, Kids Grilled Cheese and a Cookie Crumble Sundae are all dairy dishes by name. The Farmhouse Flatbread is built on herbed ricotta. Donut holes are ordinarily made with egg and milk. Topgolf is telling you these are suitable for vegetarians, which is a genuinely useful thing to publish, and it is not telling you anything about veganism.
The two items on that list a vegan might reasonably hope for are French Fries and Tater Tots. Topgolf publishes no ingredient statement for either and no fryer policy, and it fries chicken tenders, wings and other breaded items in the same kitchen. The specific unknown is the fryer: whether the fries share oil with breaded chicken, and whether either potato product carries a dairy or beef-derived coating. Nothing on the site answers that. Ask before you order.
The Black Bean Patty
This is the closest Topgolf comes to a named plant-based option, and it is worth being clear about what it is and is not. Topgolf lists it under vegetarian modifications, not vegan ones. It publishes nothing about what binds the patty — egg and cheese are both common in black bean patties — and nothing about the bun, which at most burger kitchens contains milk or egg. Ordering it “no cheese, no mayo” removes the obvious dairy but leaves the patty and the bun unverified.
Is The Bun At Topgolf Vegan?
Unknown. Topgolf publishes no ingredient information for its buns. Ask at the venue, and ask specifically about milk, butter and egg wash rather than asking whether it is “vegan” — kitchen staff answer the specific question far more reliably.
Does Topgolf Have Vegan Cheese?
Not that the company lists anywhere. No dairy-free cheese appears on the Food & Drink page, in the vegetarian list or in the FAQ. If a particular venue stocks one it is not documented nationally, so treat it as a per-venue question.
Topgolf UK Does This Better
Worth knowing if you are reading this outside the US. Topgolf’s UK site answers the same question differently: “Yes, look out for (PB) on our menu to identify plant-based options,” with a legend that defines (V) as suitable for ovo-lacto vegetarians and (PB) as plant based. UK menus carry the marks item by item. The US menu carries no equivalent marking, so the same company demonstrably knows how to label this and does not do it in the States.
The UK site adds its own caution: vegetarian products “are handled in a multi-product kitchen environment” where nuts, seeds and other allergens are also handled.
Topgolf — The Story
Per the company’s own international page, Topgolf was founded in 2000 by two brothers who wanted to make golf practice more fun, and now hosts over 35 million players a year worldwide. An earlier version of this article gave a Dallas headquarters and a 2020 Callaway acquisition date; neither could be sourced to Topgolf’s own site, so both have been dropped rather than restated.
One sourcing note the company does publish: Topgolf states it is “committed to continuing toward our goal of sourcing 100% cage-free, whole-shell eggs for all locations by the end of 2026.” That does not make anything vegan, but it is the only animal-welfare commitment the brand puts on the menu page.
What Was Removed From This Page
This article previously ran a section headed “What’s Vegan At Topgolf” listing Warm Pretzel Bites, Harvest Hummus, Tres Tacos, Signature Nachos, Farmhouse Flatbread and a Cobb Salad — each followed by a bulleted list of its components. Those bullet lists included cheese sauce, cotija cheese, pepper jack cheddar, herbed ricotta, egg, bacon and grilled chicken, sitting under a vegan heading as though they were things to order. That is dangerous formatting and the whole section has been deleted.
Harvest Hummus and Tres Tacos no longer appear on Topgolf’s current published lists at all. The Mediterranean Trio is the nearest current equivalent to the hummus plate, and Topgolf classes it as vegetarian, not vegan, with no ingredient breakdown given.
Should Vegans Visit Topgolf?
If you are going for the golf, go — but plan on eating either before or after, or on ordering something you have questioned the kitchen about directly. There is no published document that lets you order here with confidence, and the useful questions are narrow ones: what is in the black bean patty, what is in the bun, what else goes in the fryer with the fries and tots, and is there anything at this venue marked plant-based.
The single change that would fix this page is not ours to make. Topgolf already publishes a vegetarian list and already labels plant-based items on its UK menus. Publishing the same list for the US menu it says exists would take the company an afternoon.
