This upscale mini golf venue just opened in Chelsea/Meatpacking. It tastefully combines two mini golf courses with food, cocktails, lounging, and a speakeasy experience. You can make reservations online. Since it's new, I was able to book same day and there were lots of times available, but I do think it will fill up quickly as word gets out. You can book tickets for one or both of the mini golf courses.
When we arrived in the lobby, waiters were serving passed hors d'oeuvres. This was unexpectedly fancy, but a nice touch to set the ambiance. They have a free coat check at the front desk as well. After you are checked in, you can visit any of the floors of the venue at your leisure.
We started on the rooftop, which was spacious and had nice views of the Highline and Hudson. They had space heaters blasting which made many of the hightop tables a little too toasty, but there were also seats available away from the heaters for enjoying the open air. They also had a few swinging pod couches, which were fun to try out.
For my first drink, I got the margarita standoff. It had way too much ice and was bitter and watery. My partner got the last diner, which was sweet and tasty so I ordered that next.
To eat, I had the tofu tacos. They also had impossible beef tacos, so it was great to have some variety as a vegetarian. I enjoyed the tacos and the ingredients tasted fresh, but they could've used a sauce. My partner got the double smash burger and fries and loved both.
After we ate, we headed to the mini golf courses located on the second and third floors. They had ski lodge and art museum themes. The museum course was a bit more spread out. Both courses had 9 holes. For both, you had to wait a few minutes for the party in front of you to finish each hole. The museum course also had around a 20 minute wait just to enter. On the courses, you could order drinks, but no food was allowed. Both were fun and had creative trick shots. You had to count your strokes, but there was a convenient digital screen at each hole for keeping score. Later in the night, it got pretty crowded, but the layout kept traffic moving pretty well.
We finished the night in the speakeasy in the basement. It was not super crowded and had velvet couches, tables, and a nice hip hop playlist. Here I ordered the banana stand cocktail. It was sweet and very strong. The banana taste was not overpowering.
Overall, this is a great option for date night or a group of friends. The decor and props throughout the venue were thoughtful and impressive. Staff were incredibly friendly.
