I remember as a kid playing miniature golf, losing my golf ball, having to keep count of my swings, and the very low tech holes with a random house or character on display at a hole. Now imagine 9 holes with all sorts of modern twists and technology that keep track of your swings for you. Add in some alcohol (or not), and you may have Puttshack!
A friend of mine introduced me to Puttshack by giving me a gift card. I have now gone three times, twice with my wife and once with several friends. Puttshack is a bar, restaurant, and mini golf all in one. The first floor has the bar/restaurant and two of the 9-hole courses. The other two 9-hole courses are upstairs. You reserve a game online and then when you arrive, you find your group on the list of upcoming games to find out with course you are on. I have been lucky and now played 3 of the 4 courses though often, it sounds like people can get assigned the same course over multiple visits. You receive a ball that is specifically tied to you and when you are up, your name and progress is on a screen that everyone can see. There is a "hole in 1" option for extra points. The best part of the game is how engaging every hole is.
During the day, there are a lot of kids, and during the evening, the drinks are plentiful. On weekdays and early in the day on weekends, there is rarely ever a wait to go to the next hole. If it is busy, you may need to wait for a few minutes. Enjoy looking at the details as there are a lot of them. Even the bathrooms are decorated.
If you go to https://www.puttshack.com/perks, you can often see some promotions like Buy One, Get One Free. In fact, all January on weekdays, you can use the code 18FOR9 for Buy One, Get One Free games. If you sign up for the mailing list, you get a free 9-hole game for your birthday month. Feel free to use Coryaps965 as a referral code when you do so...thanks! If you are paying full price, it's typically $14 per game per person. There are also gift card deals during the year. For instance, at Black Friday, if you buy $50 in gift cards, you get $10 in gift cards free. What are you waiting for!? Show your younger self how cool mini golf can be!!
