Entertainment Associate Jobs in Federal Way, WA (NOW HIRING)

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.

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 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.

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

• 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

• 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

Being Resilient | You stay warm, sharp, and guest-focused even during the busiest check-in rushes and the longest lines.

• Remains calm and professional during peak service, high-volume events, and unexpected challenges
• Recover quickly when things go sideways and helps the team do the same
• Manages the heat, literally and figuratively, without letting pressure affect the team's performance or morale
• Brings the same enthusiasm and care to the hundredth guest of the night as to the first

Communicates Effectively | You communicate clearly, listen to guests, and keep the front-of-house team coordinated as one.

• Listens to guests carefully and responds with accurate, helpful, and enthusiastic information every time

• Holds themselves accountable for the quality and warmth of every guest interaction at the front of house
• Anticipates what arriving guests will need — equipment, explanations, membership options — and has it ready
• Understands that a great first impression sets the tone for the entire visit and takes pride in delivering it
• Always looking for ways to make the check-in experience faster, smoother, and more welcoming — and acts on it

Drives Results | You drive guest satisfaction from the first interaction and set the standard for what a great visit looks like.

• Holds themselves to high standards for check-in speed, accuracy, and guest engagement on every shift
• Moves with urgency and ownership to get guests checked in, set up, and excited as quickly as possible

• Experience in a guest-facing, retail, or hospitality environment preferred

• Ability to obtain required licenses and certifications for your location

• High school diploma or equivalent

• Must be 16 years of age or older as required by state or local law

Let's be real — this isn't your typical desk job! Here's what you'll need to do to thrive in this role:

• Ability to remain on your feet and in motion for extended periods throughout the shift, including standing, walking, and moving between the guest services desk and other areas of the venue; this role requires sustained physical stamina to support continuous guest check-in and engagement throughout each shift
• Ability to lift, carry, and move items up to 50 pounds independently, including golf clubs, equipment bags, retail items, and supplies across multiple areas of the venue
• Ability to navigate stairs, ramps, and multi-level areas of the venue when assisting guests with equipment, escorting guests to bays, or supporting venue operations
• Ability to work in varying temperature and weather environments on a frequent basis, including outdoor or semi-outdoor entry and bay areas as well as air-conditioned indoor spaces

• Ability to communicate clearly and effectively in a high-energy, high-volume venue environment that may include moderate to high levels of background noise
