What to Wear to Topgolf in Scottsdale — The Casual Golf Outfit Guide

There's no strict dress code at Topgolf in Scottsdale — but the right outfit is one that swings comfortably, handles a warm bay, and looks good in the photos that always get taken. The move is athletic-casual: a performance polo or clean athletic tee with shorts for men, an athletic dress or polo-and-bottom pairing for women. You're hitting golf balls and ordering food and drinks in a social setting, so you want golf-functional pieces that don't read like you came straight from a tournament. Here's how to put it together.

Is There a Dress Code at Topgolf?

Topgolf does not enforce a traditional golf dress code the way a private course does — no collar requirement, no rule against athletic shorts. The venue describes its policy as casual, with the main expectation being neat, appropriate attire (no offensive graphics, shirts required, shoes on). That gives you room to dress for comfort and the social setting rather than a strict standard. In practice, the Scottsdale location skews a little more put-together than average given the city's style, so leaning toward elevated athletic-casual is the right read.

What Men Should Wear to Topgolf

The cleanest men's Topgolf outfit is a performance polo with athletic shorts. The polo keeps it looking intentional in photos and at the table, and the performance fabric handles a warm bay and the physical act of swinging. The PILLAR Steven Polo is the right call here — it reads polished without being formal, and it moves through a full swing. Pair it with the Drew Shorts at a 7-inch inseam for the freedom to rotate without the shorts riding up.

If you'd rather go more relaxed, a clean athletic tee works just as well in Topgolf's casual setting. The Nick Tee in a neutral tone keeps the look simple and lets the shorts do the work. Either direction holds up for two hours of swinging, eating, and standing around the bay.

What Women Should Wear to Topgolf

For women, an athletic dress is the single-piece answer — it swings comfortably, looks dialed in the photos, and handles the warm Scottsdale bays. The PILLAR Allie Dress has built-in shorts for full range of motion through a swing and reads as a real outfit the moment you're back at the table. If you prefer separates, the Chloe Polo with a clean athletic bottom gives a collared, intentional look that's still fully functional for hitting balls.

Dress for the Bay Temperature, Not Just the Weather

Topgolf bays are partially open-air, which means the temperature tracks Scottsdale's outdoor swing. A summer evening session can still be in the 90s well after sunset, so breathable, moisture-wicking fabric is the deciding factor — you'll be swinging and standing in a warm bay for a couple of hours. In the cooler months, Scottsdale evenings drop into the 50s, and the bay heaters help but don't fully cover it. A light layer like the Alec Quarter-Zip handles the fall and winter evening sessions without bulking up your swing.

Footwear and the Little Things

You don't need golf shoes at Topgolf — clean sneakers are the standard and far more comfortable for a social session where you're walking to the bar and the table as much as you're swinging. Skip anything open-toed; you're swinging a club with people around. Keep accessories minimal and bring sunglasses for daytime sessions, since the upper-deck bays catch direct Arizona sun in the afternoon.
