Netting Collapses at Topgolf Auburn Hills During Winter Storm

A large portion of the netting system at Topgolf Auburn Hills collapsed yesterday amid severe winter weather moving through Metro Detroit, forcing the popular entertainment venue to shut down operations.

The incident occurred as high winds and rapidly deteriorating conditions impacted much of Southeast Michigan. While no injuries have been reported, the collapse prompted an immediate closure as staff and crews began assessing the situation. Topgolf has not yet announced when the Auburn Hills location will reopen.

The Auburn Hills venue, located near I 75, is a year round destination that draws large crowds even during the winter months. Its towering netting system is a critical safety feature designed to contain golf balls hit from the multi level driving bays. When a large portion of that structure fails, operations cannot safely continue.

As of now, Topgolf has not released details regarding the extent of the damage, repair timelines, or how the closure may affect upcoming reservations, private events, or gift card holders. Customers are encouraged to monitor official Topgolf channels for updates as more information becomes available.

The collapse comes during one of the more intense winter weather periods Metro Detroit has seen this season. Strong winds, freezing temperatures, and hazardous conditions were reported across the region throughout the day. Local officials urged residents to use caution while traveling and to stay alert as conditions continued to change.

Crews are expected to continue evaluating the site to determine next steps. Until then, the closure stands as a reminder of how powerful winter weather can be, even for large scale commercial structures built to withstand the elements.
