About Topgolf

Topgolf is where golf meets a great time. We're a high-energy sports entertainment venue where every shift is different, every guest brings their own energy, and the people who work here make it all happen. If you're looking for a place to grow, have fun, and be part of something bigger than a job description, you're in the right place.

What We’re Seeking

Are you someone who loves making people feel welcome from the first second they walk through the door? Do you thrive on first impressions, know how to move with urgency, and genuinely enjoy helping guests get excited about their visit? Can you navigate a bay assignment system, explain the game with enthusiasm, and handle transactions accurately all while keeping a smile on your face?

We’re looking for a Guest Services Associate who sets the tone for the entire guest experience before a single ball is hit. You’ll be the first face guests see — greeting them, getting them checked in, explaining the game, and sending them to their bay ready to have the best time. If you love people, love energy, and love being the reason someone’s visit starts great, this is your role.

The Role

The Guest Services Associate is the first point of contact for every guest at Topgolf. You’ll use the game and bay assignment systems to get guests checked in quickly, offer memberships and retail items, assist with golf clubs and equipment, and make sure every guest understands the game and feels genuinely excited to play. This role requires speed, warmth, and a guest-first mindset from start to finish.

This role requires a flexible schedule including evenings, weekends, and holidays, with availability to work during peak periods, special events, and high-volume seasons.

What You Will Do

Welcome Every Guest

• Greet every guest immediately and warmly — making them feel welcome and excited from the moment they arrive
• Check guests in quickly using the game and bay assignment systems so they can begin enjoying their visit without delay
• Assist guests with golf clubs, equipment, and anything they need to get set up and ready to play
• Explain the game, safety rules, and venue layout clearly and enthusiastically so every guest knows how to make the most of their visit

Drive The Guest Experience

• Suggest the membership level that will maximize each guest’s experience and support venue revenue
• Offer retail items so guests can continue to connect with the Topgolf brand beyond their visit
• Handle cash and transactions carefully, accurately, and efficiently
• Engage with guests throughout their arrival experience and ensure they feel cared for at every step

Represent Topgolf at Its Best

• Keep smiling, make eye contact, and maintain positive, welcoming body language in every interaction
• Show urgency and genuine care so guests can begin enjoying their visit as quickly as possible
• Support teammates and communicate across departments to ensure a smooth and seamless guest arrival
• Demonstrate Topgolf's Core Values in every interaction: Fun, One Team, Excellence, Courage, and Caring

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT HERE

• You’ll be the face of Topgolf — the person guests remember from the moment they arrived
• You’ll develop guest service and hospitality skills in one of the most exciting entertainment environments around
• You’ll work alongside a team that moves together, supports each other, and genuinely cares about the guest experience
• You’ll work in a place where every shift is different, every guest is new, and the energy never stops
