What oil does Topgolf fry in?
Topgolf most likely cooks with canola oil, but the chain has not confirmed it.
In detail: Oil type not publicly named; industry-default canola oil or canola blend is assumed. Topgolf clearly deep-fries a lot (french fries, tater tots, chicken bites, crispy chicken strips, buttermilk fried chicken sandwich, fried chicken heat-wich, boneless wings, chips, donut holes), with diner reports confirming shared fryers across items, but no official document names the specific oil.

Build my orderWhy the frying oil matters
Most fast-food chains fry in seed oils like soybean, canola, corn, or a blend of them, which are high in polyunsaturated fat (PUFA). A handful still use beef tallow or other stable fats, which are far lower in PUFA. The oil a kitchen fries in is the single biggest driver of how much seed oil ends up on your plate. See the full breakdown on the Topgolf report card, or where it lands on the Seed Oil Index. See which chains fry in real fats on Tallow Watch.
