Sonic the Hedgehog and friends arrived at Topgolf at supersonic speed on Friday, Nov. 15, with the official launch of the new game, Topgolf Sonic the Hedgehog, which will be exclusively available for play at Topgolf venues across the U.S. and Glasgow.
Additional Toptracer-enabled franchise venues around the globe will debut localised versions of the game in Q1 2025. Developed by Topgolf in partnership with SEGA®, the game is the first venture into the golf entertainment space for the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.
Topgolf meets the fast-paced action of Sonic in the new in-venue game, as super fans of all skill levels go head-to-head in iconic virtual Sonic environments, Green Hill Zone and Sky Sanctuary, to hit springs, collect rings and destroy badniks. The experience utilises Topgolf’s proprietary Toptracer ball-tracing technology to blend the physical act of hitting a golf ball with digitally watching popular characters Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy track shots and collect rings as Players climb to the top of the leaderboard.

Players can power up their game with exclusive, limited-edition merchandise available for purchase. Sonic the Hedgehog-themed hats and t-shirts – available in adult and youth sizes – feature Sonic himself holding Topgolf’s newest club, The Sure Thing.
“At Topgolf, we believe in the unlimited power of play and creating moments of joy for everyone who steps into our venues,” said Topgolf Chief Brand Officer Geoff Cottrill. “The multi-generational appeal of Sonic’s iconic energy and speed gives our Players a fresh, playful way to just have a little fun together with friends and family. The new Sonic game in partnership with Sega absolutely takes the Topgolf experience to the next level.”
“Through our collaboration with Topgolf, we’ve created a game that both the Sonic and Topgolf communities are going to love,” exclaimed Ivo Gerscovich, Senior Vice President and Chief Business and Brand Officer of Sonic, Head of SEGA Brands.” The Sonic franchise continues to extend across the transmedia landscape, and we look forward to seeing everyone experience the final product at Topgolf venues globally.”
