Puttshack - Oakbrook

Went on a date night with the wife. Is a great place for couples and children the staff is very friendly and nice. I ended up speaking with who I believe to be a manager named Katy. We have a special needs daughter and she answered all questions I had about bringing her. She spoke of special accommodations that she will make for our special needs daughter, which is so thoughtful. Food was delicious. I’m a burger guy and there burgers was on point, garlic fries were hitting like Sammy Sosa in his prime! Also got crab spinach artichoke dip that was very good. The putting area was very cool and fun to play we will definitely be returning.

Such a nice spot to go hang out with either family or friends. I like the layout of their course and how vibrant it was. Every hole was fun to play and makes you think, about how to putt. Their tracking system is amazing and knows exactly how many times you hit the ball. If you have a cheater in your group they won't get away with faking scores. Definitely recommend coming here to enjoy a good time.

Nice experience! Only downside is that the employees don’t really explain how it works so it might be confusing when you first enter, but once you learn, you get the hang of it. We were able to do the two games (9 holes each) and finish before closing. We came on a late Saturday night which was pretty good timing wise for us. Bartenders are friendly. All of the holes were super unique, fun and interactive.

Had a truly amazing time there with my siblings/family. Prices are great, the atmosphere is amazing they have some good food as well the mini golf itself was one of the most fun I've had in years I definitely recommend a visit you won't regret it 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

So interesting that they can tell how many swings a person makes. No cheating. No questions - also, no issues with having to keep track. While golfing, they crammed the people in. There was a lot of waiting for the group in front to finish (or 2 groups in front of us). At least while waiting, you can have a drink from the bar. The bartenders knew how to mix a good drink. After the game, we had a bite to eat. I recommend passing on the chicken and waffle flatbread but the buffalo chicken dip and other sandwiches were tasty. I highly recommend the dessert flatbread.

Had a Family Fun Night here, Dinner and Drinks then 18 holes. -Dinner was good, they have hit and miss plates. -Cocktails were presented nicely and they were tasty. -Great ambiance, low lighting, good music, well decorated. -The miniature golf courses are REALLY FUN! 💯 Very creative, colorful and great tech (senses your ball and keeps score). 👍 Taking off a star.... They closed one side (2 of 4 courses) and packed everyone into one side. This unnecessary action made for longer wait times. A 9 hole game that takes 20-30 minutes now took an hour... 🤔

First time at putshack & it was a blast! We had the best server too! His name is Keedan! If you’re going to come to eat ask to sit in his section! Super attentive, friendly & funny. As someone who has a been in the service industry before he’s top tier! Fun time forsure.

If you like your places very busy, very loud and located in an area that has traffic that barely moves. This is the place for you... We were there on a business outing. The 15-mile drive took over an hour to get there... The food we had was fair, cold and not really impressive. The more you drank the better it started tasting...

Guys, what the fuck? you have to order Everything. That doesn't sound good. The food Will surprise your ass it is sooo good! The half pipes are awesome!

This was fun! If you're looking to mini golf with friends or go on a date, this is the place. There's food, music, and you get a golf ball that's tied to your ID so it tracks your score for you. Located on the second level of Oakbrook Mall on the edge, you'll discover thumping music with a DJ on the weekends it appears. There's a bar, and the menu has some crowd pleasers with some Asian American inspired dishes such as kbbq bao buns, shitake mushroom pot stickers, Thai fried chicken, and more. This place is a little upscale, but it's reasonable given the experience. Go for 9 holes of mini golf or the full 18. You'll love it!

Came for a date. Perfect date spot. Played 9 holes and went by kinda quick. Think we were done in less than an hour. Was fun though! Definitely wanna go back. Immediately we each got a drink at the bar and I believe our bartender's name was Jalene. And she was awesome! So so friendly, funny and prompt. Note though this place does not allow you to bring your own putter. I tried as I wanted to use it as a practice session but their putters and balls have technology in them so that they can keep score for you. Smart. Just thought was worth mentioning. Felt silly having tried to bring my putter and wished I had read a review warning me of it lol. We then stayed and ate at the restaurant after. Food was good. Had the bao buns and curry. And both were flavorful. I would order both again. Overall I like the concept and plan to go again!

Fun activity located in Oakbrook mall. Definitely make reservations beforehand as it books up quickly. There is food and a bar in the middle with mini golf courses in both sides. My friend and I had a bit of trouble finding where to go as it was very crowded. Very cool concept where the ball has a chip inside and tracks every swing and then puts your score on a screen. Kind of like bowling combined with mini golf. Then entire experience is only 9 holes which is relatively short. I wouldn't want to pay any more than $14. Each hole has a fun theme with an opportunity to score extra points. My friend and I had to wait at every hole due to the crowd. If there was no crowd, the entire experience would have been less than 30 min. Fun for a quick activity.

I recently went to puttshack to celebrate a friend's birthday. We went on a Saturday night. It was packed. At the door they check IDs, you have to be 21 or older to get in. Once upstairs, you can purchase the mini golf. There are four different courses to choose from. We arrived around 10:15p and we were told by the digital reservation that the next available would be at 11:20p. Luckily we were able to start sooner than that. They also have a live DJ. The DJ does a great job at playing all the hits and classics. The mini golf courses were so much fun. The one we had had a pack man theme course, which was super cool. We had a great time and we will definitely be back.

Went to Puttshack for a family night out and had a wonderful time! They have four different courses at this location, and we were on the 'Sapphire' course. There were 9 different pars that ranged from 'Truth or Dare' to 'Putt Four' to 'Whac-A-Mole'. Each par provided its own challenge and the differences provided more entertainment than you would find at your traditional mini golf course. All four courses include different games so if you play more than one game, you likely will not be playing the same par! Each ball is connected to your name and automatically tracks your score, which is really cool. We didn't get food, but we got drinks for the bar and for a Sunday night, it was pretty slow. We found ourselves waiting quite a while to get our drinks. Overall, would definitely recommend coming to Puttshack for a fun date night or family night out!

What a sh*tshow. We booked a reservation, showed up on time, but still spent the VAST MAJORITY of our time waiting in line doing absolutely nothing... just to play some mini golf. There are so many people in here that this place an absolute clusterfuck. There is no reason people should have to waste so much time if they have a reservation . Otherwise, what's the point?! Seriously, fuck the owners of this place. Greedy fucks. Huge waste of time and money. The company would rather take your money and give you a trashy experience than have a cap/limit/allotment so people who RESERVE A SPOT can have a good time.

We wanted a fun outing with the kids on a cold evening and decided to try Puttshack. We knew we wanted to eat there after we golfed, but the online reservation system didn't really make it clear how long it should plan between the golf and table reservation, so we just went in and were directed to sign up at the kiosk. I had the same question and was told that games take 30-60 minutes and if we finished before our reservation came up, we could tell the hosts since it was a slow Monday night. We made the reservation for the game and were directed to the ruby course. There was a very unhelpful attendant there that just pointed to where we were to start. We had no idea how to get balls, that our balls are not interchangeable, or that we could just grab putters. We figured it out, but some direction would have been nice, especially since I kept asking and just kept getting point towards the first hole. The game itself was fun for all. We had a family of four and everyone enjoyed it. It took less than 30 minutes for us to play all 9 holes. We then were seated for dinner and asked the waitress for suggestions. She raves about the empanadas...they were just okay. I couldn't tell there was chorizo in them. I actually think frozen burritos are a better product than these empanadas. The pulled pork bao were amazing though. Super full of meat, and delicious! Well balanced with the fennel slaw and the bao itself was soft and fluffy. My daughter loved her chicken sandwich, especially the pickles which she says are majestic. Who knew pickles could be so awesome? The flatbread was tiny, but the dough was yummy. I think the giardiniera was too oily, so that made the bread greasy, and the sausage was not great. We also tried the Thai chicken skewers which were just okay. The sauce was too salty and sour, so it was untouched, so basically it was just over fried chicken. The atmosphere is young and loud. Very clean, large space, but the volume of the music made it impossible to hear the person across the table from you without basically healing, which doesn't make for pleasant dinner conversation. Maybe it's a way to block the noise from the golfers? Maybe we're just old? My husband would up getting a headache from it, so that wasn't great, but overall, we had a fun time golfing and really enjoyed the bao and chicken sandwich.

I did not expect much from a mini golf place, but there was a surprising variety of food here inspired by Asian/middle eastern cuisine. Of course, there's classic American fare too, and they were well done. Definitely better than your Olive Garden/Applebee's.

This place is great for a group gathering. The course was that we were on was fun but if you're a good putter, I don't think it would be that challenging. For the average person, it's a good time with some friends. I was there for a company party, the food was excellent. They did some interesting takes on classic Asian dishes which I think was pretty good. The very berry mule was overly sweet so I got a beer in my second round. Overall, definitely come back to try other courses.

If half stars were available I'd give Puttshack 3.5 stars but since they aren't def rounding up vs down. The location is clean and spacious. The overall demographic very young. The majority of the employees and patrons were Gen Z. The older millennial here (ME) thought the music was loud. lol, but I'm sure my younger sister would have been right at home. I enjoyed the technology of the course. The balls auto keep your score and there are cute graphics on the screens. The food was tasty and I could tell they use high quality ingredients. The flat bread had a great taste but was much smaller than I expected for $16. It was an inch or two longer than my hand. Not sure if I'd be back just due to the younger crowd but I'd suggest it for anyone to try out atleast once.

Really unique mini golf course. I like the different challenges each hole offers. We also got food and it was surprisingly good for being at a mini golf place.

Crowded and I didn't like their reservation system. If you set reservation and you check in, they should call you at your time and keep reservation order. We lined up 5 min before our reservation and multiple people with later reservations were in line and allowed to go before us and we nearly missed a dinner reservation after. There aren't many indoor mini golf options so will have to deal with it from time to time but will take an outdoor option over this anytime.

Came here on a date. Ate first and those garlic fries...MMMMMMM so so good. Drinks are fun and delicious. Just walking up those stairs and looking around I knew we were gonna have a great time:) will definitely be going back

Perfect place to spend time with friends! So much fun and delicious food. Definitely will come here again.

Leeanne could not be more helpful! Nice to know customer service still exists! She helped us get set up for the games and showed us how to play each hole. Very kind young lady! Such a fun place! The vibe was very fun and club like atmosphere. The mini golf courses were all very cool and had many different gaming obstacles. We will be back to the Oak Brook location again and will ask for Leeanne!

Came here last night after dinner nearby to celebrate my friend's birthday. When you walk in they check your ID at the door and then you can head upstairs to the check in table. There's is an optional coat check downstairs to hold your stuff. We had reservations for three and checked in around 9:30pm on Friday night with ease. We headed over to the court, signed in, got our balls and putts and proceeded to play. The place was packed and the music was LOUD. The DJ was great, a combination of new and old hip hop/r&b. The courts were busy but the flow was good. We never waited more than 2-3 min to play. It was impossible to get a drink while playing. The one server kept walking around but was always empty handed and never seemed to be taking any orders. We expressed interest in ordering a drink to one of the employees bussing glasses but he said we could only order via the one waiter and he was never sent over. We decided just to finish our game and then grab a table for drinks. We were sat in a booth and waited on right away. My friends had the Hennessy drink and the Mule. The mules are really strong. I had a margarita. I didn't like the speciality margaritas they had so I asked for just a regular one since it was a open bar. It ended up being $19 which is pretty steep. They charged me $17 for patron and $2 to make it a margarita. It was good but I didn't ask for patron so that was a little annoying. We didn't try any of the food. Again, the music is LOUD. We were yelling at each other and kept stopping mid conversation because of the air horns and other sound effects the DJ was playing. When we got in the car we mentioned how our throats hurt from having to yell all night. Others seemed to enjoy it but they also seemed to be well into their drinking for the night. I think this is a fun place. Definitely a lot of people there on a date night but we also saw groups of friends, a dad/daughter duo and just a mixed crowd in general. If I had any tips I would suggest making reservations, getting your drinks before you play, have fun, take a couple selfies in decorated bathroom and enjoy your night.

Mini golf experience was awesome! Went on a weekday with friends and it was a total blast. Not very crowded and the set-up was easy. I will say it was a bit confusing, walking in, as it was our first time and no one was there to explain anything to us. But otherwise, the staff working the courses were very nice and helpful and I would definitely go back to try the other courses!

4 stars for mini golf and 2.5 stars food. I visited Puttshack in February 2024 for mini golf and dinner. Located next to sweet green and near Barnes and Noble. Once your enter the front doors you are at coat check and coat check is free by the way. Upstairs is where the action is the mini golf was impressive. Lights, wi-fi golf balls, each course was unique challenging, and fun for all ages. Once it gets later in the evening it's like your at the club the music is really really loud and we could barely hold a clear conversation unfortunately. In the middle of the mini gold areas is the huge bar. The food was nothing to rave about at all. I had the pad thai chopped salad and added chicken breast. It has noodles in it and they were hard and cold (not worth it) and the salad lacked depth and ample dressing. My friends had shared a lettuce wrap odd that the minced meat looked like mush. The service was slow and hard to get our waitress attention. I would come back for the mini golf, but not the food.

This place is such a pain. I spent more time at their ridiculous electronic kiosk making a reservation, making an account and registering everyone than I did actually golfing. There were employees standing around waiting, why can't I just hand them money and they hand me a stick and a ball? Why overcomplicate things so much??

Went to the puttshack location to play some mini golf. While there we also decided to have some drinks with our game. The drinks were delicious that we ordered them twice. Check in for the game was extremely fast, and it was great that we pre-checked in online, so it saved us time at the location. There are four different areas that one can be assigned two for mini golf. All the locations are fun with different types of obstacles that you have to conquer in order to get a hole in one. It also was great that they had music playing. So when you are waiting in line in case you have another team in front of you, there's something to listen to.

I'm surprised how much I enjoy Puttshack, but it's not a perfect establishment. Pros: -Fun, creative, inventive putt putt. The fact that it's point based rather than stroke based means they can do some creative ways to tabulate points, such as super putts, obstacles, and interactive elements. -There are different courses that have different holes. There are repeats on both sides but I haven't played every hole on both sides so I don't know if both sides are completely the same or only partially the same. Four courses in total. -you can get a reservation for both mini golf and a table, which they offer a full (but small menu). - Nice ambiance. Very retro-futuristic vibe. - coat check. Cons: - lines for holes. If there's a big group ahead of you or you're a small group, prepare to wait for each hole. It also feels cramped. - prices are like 10% too pricey for the food you purchase. It's good food but it's a bit too much if you ask me. - I've had some glitches both times I used their electronic booking system. Still usable but has created some annoyances. - gets packed on weekends so it's hard to find a spot day of on a weekend. Try to plan a day in advanced. So overall, it's a fun experience and I'd recommend it!

This place is so much fun. Indoor miniature golf!! Great idea for the cold fall and winter months. Fun for adults and kids. I loved the creativity of the various courses. I love that there are only 9 holes ( instead of 18). I was a part of a birthday party group. During dinner, our server Wendy was amazing. She was friendly and attentive to our party's needs. The food was really delicious as well. I had the bacon jalapeño burger with fries. I definitely recommend this place.

Creative business, fun times. The DJ was on speed or crack cocaine drumming away on the DJ tables, and you gotta entertain somehow right!!! The miniature golf is very creative itself. A moving Tetris setup, beer pong setup, and much much more. This place is an alcoholic's wet dream literally. Come dream, play miniature golf, then pass out and wake up in a puddle of your piss. Loud music, raucous crowds, and lights/camera/action everywhere. I prefer the library, seriously, but it's still a fun place.

I had a BLAST!! What a fun date night. The security guard was an awesome dude along with the bar tenders, extremely attentive. We got two shot of tequila and two draft beers of modelos and an energy drink for $45 bucks so prices are decent. The overall experience was so fun and everyone in general were a fun crowd to be around! Nothing but laughs and a good times. Everyone was patient and respectful which is a major plus! Lots of seating options and chilling areas and it's huge inside so there are plenty of spaces for people to go and have a good time with their own crowd if wanted. This place is most definitely a 10/10 I'll be bringing my family here when they come to visit. Also, the wall decor is all 90s like Nintendo, duck hunt, and Mario brothers ahaha such a vibe to be In. Note: this is a 21+ so make sure everyone is old enough with IDs after 8pm

I booked the game and paid online. They ask if you have a reservation and I answered yes. Checked in our coats. It is free and dont have to carry your coat around everywhere. It is warm enough upstairs. There were no attendant there to guide you of what to do or where to go when you went upstairs. No attendant by the kiosks. There is a check in desk, but I saw it was mostly for the restaurant. So we eventually had to figure things out ourselves. We had a few friends that couldn't make it, so we knew there is no refunds and tried to apply their games onto another game and they couldn't. The lady told me vague instructions of how to remove them from our game and I couldn't figure out. (Note, 1st time for us). Luckily she was near the kiosk where we get our golfballs and she finally helped us remove them. The mini 9 course was new to us, so it was fun and everything is done electronically. So no need to have pencil and paper marking how many shots it took to get it in the hole. But follow the screen. There are 4 courses, but they all looked the same to us. So don't think we plan to come back for the game. However, the food we had were delicious. We ordered the chorizo and cheese empanadas, which was very flaky like it was handmade and not frozen. Inside was juicy and seasoned very well and went well with the chimichurri sauce. Mediterranean lamb skewers are a bit dry. You need to eat it with the pita, cucumbers and tomatoes, and the minted yogurt to really get the flavorful bite. Wish it was already in mini pita bites, since it was messy to put it together. Last we had the Korean BBQ pork buns. The buns are super soft and the BBQ pork is shredded inside vs the thick cut pork belly. Still it was delicious. Overall, I would come back for the food. Not so much for the golf games.

Bar and putt putt all in one. Cool hang out spot just from the look of the exterior. They blast pop music inside. It's happening. Loved all the fun course themes eg billiards table, bowling, drum set, carnival duck target shoot. Downsides: Uncomfortably loud music playing; not good for holding conversation. $14 per person for a short 9 hole course. The putting holes themselves are short. It's over before you know it. The registration for play was a pain. Their touch screen kiosk asks for too much info; must register with individual phone number and email for each player. You get assigned to 1 half of the putt putt courses (9 out of 18 holes total). I wanted to play on the side with the beer pong theme, but could not choose. Cramped. Too little space between each hole. I had to constantly watch where I am standing so as not to bump other players. Overall: was a neat place to check out; would be much more worth it if the cost allowed for all 18 holes to be played.

How could anyone not have a good time at this place?! As a first timer I really didn't know what to expect. I was surprised to see the place so well organized on a Sunday afternoon. Oscar, our host in the Ruby section was very friendly and helpful with explaining the games. The only thing I wish is that the areas for the holes weren't divided into quarter the room, half the room would have been a better price value. Keegan the bartender served up two rounds of perfectly crafted cocktails with a smile. Ultimate margaritas with top shelf tequila and top notch apple martinis were perf to compliment the food. The Thai chicken, lamb skewers and Brussels came out so quickly and were even more delightful to taste. All of the menu items were priced well, no complaints at all in that department. The server Wendy was a peach! She was very quick to make sure all of our requests were met and everything we ate we enjoyed. Special note: there is a free coat check and there is free lot parking not to mention this place is just blocks from the highway I'll be back again very soon, that's for sure

I was so excited to teach my girls mini golf. This is not the lame mini golf of my youth and now they will expect every course to be this cool. Come in and step up to a kiosk to register your group and pick from 4 different 9 hole courses. We were able to walk in at 12:25 and start our game immediately. $14 for adults and $9 for young kids. The whole thing is computerised and the screens above each hole guide you through the play and keep score for you. Even with two 8 year olds, we were done in 25 minutes and had a blast. The holes are inventive and fun - one even had a trivia element to it! I'd totally recommend this for families, groups, dates, anyone wanting the nostalgia of mini golf with the modern touches to make it better!

My kids want to move to Oakbrook based on this mall alone. We were seeing Elf (so good!) at the nearby Drury Lane Theatre so booked a round of putt putt and dinner here beforehand. It's pricey by putt putt standards, but the course is super cool...and one round takes no longer than 30 minutes. It's also impossible to cheat thanks to the electronic scoring, although my cheating 6 year old wasn't very happy about this. We did a round of 9 holes, which was the perfect amount IMO and then were ready for an early 5pm dinner. We booked both ahead of time, which I recommend since it was super busy here on an early Sunday evening. Everyone was very happy with their food. My kids shared a ceasar salad and cheeseburger sliders. I stole a few of their fries, which were seasoned to perfection. My husband and I both enjoyed the pad thai chopped salad. I had asked for grilled chicken on mine, which they forgot to add, but regardless pretty good. A fun activity and yummy food= the perfect family dinner, although I think it would be fun for a date night too. I hope they open another location near us at some point because think this would do really well in the North Shore!

We played 2 rounds of golf. Buy one game get the second half off. Staff were friendly and helpful. Atmosphere was fun and we enjoyed it. The game keeps score for you and eliminated the use of having to use a paper score card. Will be back

Pretty good mini golf with drinks and a cool (somewhat broken) system and just a smidgen of clear fraud. Staff was helpful but has a lot of issues with the larger management/ org. Okay drinks - got the old fashioned (decent, not great) and the malort cocktail (not malort-y enough). We also got the buffalo chicken dip which was okay but okay but had 0 spice/ buffalo-ness. The mini golf was cool, you got a ball that was tracked to your profile and it counted your swings. On most of the holes there were "super tubes" that if you made it in a difficult hole, it would send your ball to the end of that hole to get a hole in one. Your score is points instead of swings, 60 points for a hole in one, 40? for a hole in 2, etc. This works since there's random stuff like the super tubes that give you bonuses and hazards that take away. We had a good time but the issues came with some technical failures and a clearly incorrect offer. When booking online, a page came up that said, "Ya'll gonna want a rematch, 50% off your second game." I clicked "Heck yea" and it went through to book the second game but it never applied. I emailed through their website and got no response. It looks like 50% off is only until 4pm but the pop up comes up anyway regardless of time and is directly misleading. Can see this in one of my screenshots. Emailed them and got no response. Other issues came from our balls getting stuck at the beginning and taking 5 minutes, our balls losing connection to the system 4 times while playing and needing help, and the super tube not working on putt man. We played on the Sapphire and Emerald courses and liked the Sapphire one a little better. We didn't realize until after we got drinks that you can order them on the course and bring them to you which is nice.  Overall my family had a good time and they can be great but with their directly misleading practice of an incorrect 50% offer, it really brings them down as a fraudulent company.

What a fun time we had at Puttshack! I took my daughter and her friend here in the afternoon and they had a blast! I did not play, but for the girls who are 10, it was $9 per game and the second game was half off before 4pm! Not a bad deal! The staff was extremely helpful with signing in and explaining how everything works. We did not eat, but the menu looks great and they have a full bar! After 8pm it is a 21 and over establishment, but this is a fun place to have a family fun day or take the kids during the Summer!!

This place is run by st michael Kitti who is all of 25 and has been building puttshack with her heart and soul. She has set up 6 of these . Her heart is made of gold and so when you get here you are in st Michael's presence.. Meet Olivia who just took the first jump .. she stared death in the eye and laughed ..laughed out loud.. the devil is shitting in his pants. America is finally safe .. Olivia and kitti is new america. Compassionate giving forgiving and loving.. go to this place for them. And yeah the golf is great. I lost. The old-school drink is stiff and the best.. Cajun fried chicken burger is nice and great. The bar is where you meet Olivia and if you are lucky st michael will grace you with her presence .. Amen

First time on a Saturday night and it was really fun. Very lively, overcrowded at the bars at times, but such a fair alternative to a club/lounge. The music was modern Hip Hop/R&B , Today's Hits. The DJ had all the vibes, great mixer. The drinks were expensive, but so good. I tried the Hennessy Island and Spiced Pineapple Mezcal Margarita - both tasty and strong. My bartender made my drinks very generously, loved that, and had plenty of recommendations. The bathrooms were clean and mirror-plenty. Our game was fun, overall, but the ball machines were quite dysfunctional. It wasn't too annoying but the lines were long and they had to keep resetting it. If the ball systems were running smoother, it would have been perfect. Overall, I loved it. I would return again but probably for an earlier game. Definitely prefer old-fashion golfing but the experience was one of a kind.

I'll start off by saying I have never been a fan of mini golf, but this environment and set up was actually really fun. I went here for a girls night with my sisters and we had a blast. The only unpleasant thing about the golf part was it was really busy so we were waiting for a long time before each hole. I would recommend doing more than one of the courses, because we finished it pretty quickly. The food was better than expected, but not great. I would recommend this place for the whole experience, not just the food. Our service was also extremely slow which was frustrating.

This place is super fun! There are 9 holes per course , I recommend booking at least two games . Pro tip! You can go to the holes in any order so you don't need to stand in long lines for the busy ones (minus the last hole you must do that one last because it collects your ball) . There's a great selection of cocktails and mocktails at the bar . I will say I was left with a lot of questions about the process and courses after the "check in process" but was able to figure it out along the way . This is a really fun date night or to go with a group of friends , but you do get through the course pretty quickly . Overall worth the money in my opinion!

I loved the idea of in indoor mini golf experience with a sports bar vibe, however, the execution here falls pretty short of expectations. There are four different putting courses and you will be randomly assigned to one of them each round you play and the lines get very long. My RFID chip in my ball stopped responding on the third hole, so I had to go back to the front and get an employee to assist which was frustrating since people behind me were also waiting. The holes are very simplistic, with obstacles that don't have much movement or create any significant challenge for adults, whether they play golf or not. The holes should be re-designed in a way that creates more entertainment value, which is why I won't be returning any time soon. Best, Charlie

Went for a surprise date night; very fun. The drinks were great and what they didn't have, they were able to modify. I'd suggest 2 rounds/courses/games. Nice after dinner fun.

Food - I haven't had anything bad there. The quality of the food is better than some stand alone restaurants. It is fresh, flavorful, and fun (Chicago Italian Beef egg rolls). Service - I know great service starts from the top down, so when managers actually went out of their way to accommodate my request, I instantly knew I would be a loyal and frequent customer. I had not played a particular course and asked if I could. They normally only have one side (two courses), open during the day. The course I had not played was in the closed side, but the manager took care of me. Ambiance - The place is lively, trendy, and hip. I will say it can get a little full and I, like most people, want to enjoy playing without feeling rushed. I'm scared to give this place a great review because that just means it will be more crowded next time, but this place is so worth it.

This is the epitome of good concept poor execution. Let's start with the golf. The staff is woefully undertrained. There is a coat check when you walk in. The coat checker has zero information except to direct you up the stairs. Ok cool. Upstairs there's a line to get to a person to direct you to another line to kiosk to check in. The GUI ok the kiosk is ok. But not great. The places presents itself as high tech but the tech is LOW grade. Then you are directed to a third line. Frankly you could have skipped the first line if you had known BUT nobody even the several texts you received really explained the process. So you get to the poorly paid disinterested guy handing you your super high tech "chipped" ball and he blurts his spiel as fast as he can get back to his insta. So you have to push back on the line to find a club that fits then go do your golf. Why if every ball is chipped to a single user can they not deal with several balls on a field at one time??? Would seriously like an answer to that inquiry. Restaurant: just skip it entirely. Don't bother. The bartender got both our drinks wrong twice despite ordering off the menu and the waiter having what we had ordered in his log. The food is not good and small desperate selection. Result: New experiences are fun because their novel. We wont be back because the service is way below McDonalds and the food is worse.

This place is so much fun! I love coming here since there are several activities to do throughout the night! The game itself is really interactive and some challenge you. We had a couple of technical difficulties but they were able to fix it right away. Then we went for food and drinks with some friends and continue the fun! We ordered the Pepperoni and Margherita pizza, food was delicious but the portion a little small for my bf so I will recommend you to get some sides too!

Have you ever been to a filthy truck stop bathroom along the highway in the middle of the night? That experience will seem luxurious in comparison to the conditions of Puttshack's toilets. Sticky floors, standing water, overflowing urinals, stalls that haven't been wiped down in quite some time. If this is your scene, you're in for a real treat and look no further. The mini-golfing portion is quite fun and I'd definitely return for that. Will probably just bring a wee jug and go back to my car when I feel the urge of nature.

I can here for a birthday outing and I'd say it was an overall good time with my family. It was my parents, my brother, sister in law, niece, nephew, and I. I want to mention that the screen you play on pretty much holds 6 and then a new screen appears for the following players - making it kind of hard to keep up with those 2nd scores. Anyway, it was super busy! We went on a Sunday which I'd like to add was super rainy, but Oakbrook Center is always busy so not too surprising. When I say they were booked for the day - I mean it. People behind us and in front of us. If you have a big group this could get awkward if the group behind you is small and finishes quick. Just an fyi. Now the machines themselves are super high tech and I appreciate that cause no need to calculate scores ourselves. There were a couple glitches where I had to go get the worker there, but they fixed it right away. There are 9 total holes and overall and pretty entertaining game! We did stay for the food which I would have to say is like your average arcade place type of meal. I ordered a burger and it was somewhat still bleeding which I didn't enjoy. The empanadas were good, but the star of them was their sauce! Wow - what a sauce! I believe it was chimichurri, but I wanted to take a jar home if I could. My family enjoyed their time!

As others have said, the online reservation is a straight scam. It implies that you have to make a reservation to play a game. Unfortunately, this implication means that anyone walking in without an online reservation means they can "create a reservation" when they get there. How disappointing to want to celebrate my birthday here and prepay for our games. We waited thirty minutes (the duration of our first game) in a line that never seemed to get any shorter, with no guidance whatsoever if we were even on the queue to play. We were able to "cancel" our reservation, but we couldn't even get a refund on the spot. We had to write down our information on some random piece of paper and now we are waiting around to see if our refund request will be honored. The hosts clearly knew nothing about the process of how the games work. They were only there for dining-in folks.

I sent an email I hope to hear from you guys so that this issue can be resolved. It's very unfortunate that this happened and escalated how it did. Hopefully we can talk and this doesn't happen again.

A huge thank you to Dave for making our day. This is the second review of Puttshack that I have made. I took my father and two son's to Puttshack today at 11:00. It was already pretty busy even though the doors had just opened. Dave went out of his was to ensure we had not just a good experience, but a great one. Customer service matters. Because of Dave's understanding, enthusiasm and assistance, Puttshack is the place that I will consistently recommend to friends and family who want to have a top notch overall experience.

It was just "ok". You reserve a 9 hole round, which goes way too fast. Its like $30 for 9 holes and takes less than 20 minutes. 18 at that price would've been more acceptable. The holes are creative, although not very challenging. The drinks were also expensive. Nothing was terrible, just that the overall experience could've been much better. On a positive note- the staff was pretty friendly!

Great time, great food, good cocktails, fun putt putt. Great time for families. Good time with friends.

This was such a cool place. At first I was a bit confused, I wasn't sure if they only had mini golf or if they had other games but they do only have mini golf && it's actually a lot of fun. Very different way to play mini golf We also tried a few of their appetizers and they were pretty good. All the food was hot and fresh and the bartenders did a good job with our drinks too. The only thing I would say is that they need way more garbage cans around lol... the only one I used all night was by the hostess so I found myself walking all the way over there every time I wanted to throw something away. Not a complaint, more like a suggestion lol. This area needed a fun hangout spot like this tho so I'm glad we have one now.
