Anyone who has ever looked out at the Rogers Centre outfield and wondered what it would feel like to launch a ball over it is about to get a crack at the sensation. This winter, though, it won’t be baseballs flying out of the upper decks - it’ll be golf balls.
With the Toronto Blue Jays out of MLB postseason action and the building sitting mostly idle until the 2027 season begins in March, Rogers Centre is about to be repurposed in a pretty eye-catching way. The club announced Wednesday that the stadium will become a temporary golf driving range, with golfers able to swing from as high as the 500-level.
“As we continue to unlock new possibilities for the ballpark beyond Blue Jays Baseball, Michelob Ultra Upper Deck Golf offers fans a new way to experience our ballpark in the heart of winter,” said Marnie Starkman, EVP of Business Operations, Toronto Blue Jays.
"This unique event reimagines Rogers Centre as a golf destination unlike any other, inviting players of all skill levels and ages to experience one of Canada's most iconic sports and entertainment landmarks like never before."
Upper Deck Golf has already taken over some of the sport’s most recognizable venues, and Rogers Centre will join that list alongside places such as Dodger Stadium, Wrigley Field and Fenway Park. Toronto’s stop runs from Jan. 20 to 24, and it will be the first time the experience has been staged in Canada.
“For nearly 10 years, we have been transforming ballparks, and the view from the upper deck never gets old - standing over a tee shot perched high above an MLB field is pure adrenaline,” said Marc Bender and Adam Wachter, Managing Partners of Upper Deck Golf.
“Bringing our first Canadian event to Toronto at Rogers Centre is a massive milestone for us, and we could not be more excited.”
This won’t be a simple bucket-of-balls driving range setup, either. Golfers will tee off from the 200-level and keep working upward to the 500-level, while also trying to hit greens placed on the field in a 90-minute round of nine-hole golf. Food and drinks will be available before and after rounds.
Standard tee times are priced at $125 per golfer, with a two-player minimum required at purchase. Blue Jays Season Ticket Members and Quarter Season Ticket Members will get an exclusive pre-sale window starting Oct.
- The event is open to golfers ages 12 and up, and anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Blue Jays Fans Will Recognize How Brewers Just Got To Blake Snell
Blake Snell had barely settled in when Milwaukee made its message clear in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series. Jackson Chourio jumped on the first pitch he saw from the Dodgers left-hander and sent it out, a start that had a familiar feel for anyone in Toronto who watched Snell work in last years postseason. The Brewers kept the pressure on from there and went on to beat Los Angeles 6-2, putting the Dodgers in a deep hole in the series.
For Blue Jays fans, the striking part was not just the result but the way Milwaukee attacked Snell early and kept forcing him into uncomfortable moments. The Dodgers have now dropped three straight in the NLCS, and Snells recent playoff struggles were back in focus as the Brewers kept adding to the damage. It was the kind of October reminder Toronto followers know well: once a lineup gets a read on Snell, the first mistake can snowball fast. [Read more 🡒]
Blue Jays Still Need Vladimir Guerrero Jr. To Answer One Huge Question
Vladimir Guerrero Jr.s 2026 season ended with more questions than answers for the Blue Jays, who were left trying to pick through the wreckage of the clubs worst offensive showing of the year. Guerrero, usually the middle-order bat Toronto can build around, never found his rhythm at the plate and looked far too often like a hitter searching for timing and confidence rather than dictating at-bats.
Now the focus shifts to what comes next, and whether a postseason procedure can help clear up some of what bothered him throughout the year. Toronto has watched other clubs keep playing deep into October with stars carrying the load, while the Blue Jays are left hoping Guerrero can rediscover the force that makes their lineup work in the first place. The next answer matters because if he is not right, the lineup still has a long way to go. [Read more 🡒]
Blue Jays Fans Have Every Right To Debate This Awards Snub
The Players Choice Awards are set to bring a little more hardware talk to the Blue Jays this month, and there is at least one familiar name in the mix. Dylan Cease has been recognized as a finalist for the MLBPAs American League Outstanding Pitcher award, putting him alongside Cam Schlittler and Sonny Gray as the leagues players prepare to vote on one of the seasons more respected honors.
There is a different kind of head-scratching closer to home, though, because Kazuma Okamoto did not make the cut for Outstanding Rookie finalists despite a season that gave Toronto plenty to celebrate. The winners will be announced during the week of Oct. 26, and the omission gives Blue Jays fans reason to keep the conversation going about how these awards are being judged. [Read more 🡒]
