    We had such a wonderful experience at Kniess' mini golf course yesterday! Mary, the owner, was…read moreincredibly kind, and all of her employees were very accommodating and welcoming throughout our visit. You can really feel the friendly atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The golf course itself is beautiful, well-kept, and full of unique character. There is so much cool paraphernalia and fun trinkets all throughout the property that make it interesting even between holes. Every hole was set up so neatly, with creative layouts, multiple drops, and thoughtful details that kept it fun the entire way through. I especially loved that they had an easier course for younger kids, which made it perfect for our children, and we also noticed the moving/more challenging course, which looked like something my husband and I would love to come back and try on our own. The seating areas placed along the way made it feel relaxing and enjoyable, and there was so much to look at that the whole experience felt special. One helpful thing to know before you go: it is cash only, so make sure you come prepared. It was $25 for 2 adults and 2 kids under 6. Overall, such a fun family outing with a lot of charm -- we will absolutely be back!

    Reasonably priced admission. CASH ONLY. There is an ATM at the Sheetz next door. Limited parking…read more We saw families, friends, first dates, and couples all enjoying hole-in-ones & friendly competition. Be prepared for the ball and club selection process. Decide ahead of time what color ball each child wants ... trust me ... less children melting down. Looking at pictures, it has been a few years since we were last here. Tons of updates to the two courses. We made more memories. Can't wait to bring more people here.

    Okay starting with my opinion of bad going to great I have been to other locations in the past and…read moreit was a minor free establishment that is no longer the case (for those who have children under 21 this is great news) so you must choose wisely when you go around 7pm on weekdays is cool because the parents are taking the kids home for bed, can't speak for weekends but the amazingly pleasant lady greeting you at the counter said the same for weekends. The aesthetics are awesome, great for a girls night out when you want to be cute and take photos to post on social media(right now they have a pop up cherry blossom set up in the chalet course go soon like this week) and also great for date night memories. The greatness was our server Justin. We see management in his future and we all were speaking into existence for him. He was gracious informative and accommodating. Did not steer us wrong on the food made our drinks special for us now I can't promise the same for you (he might have felt like he was taking care of his aunties) but I still think at all times his service is top notch. 20/10 for the service 10/10 aesthetics and atmosphere

    I love the Puttery. While I had a few complaints about the experience, I had a great time, and we'd…read morecome back again in a heartbeat. NOTES: -Call ahead if you're really set on a specific course or experience. During our visit, they closed off the entire first floor (and Lodge course) for a private event. However, as noted below, getting a human on the phone can be difficult. There's "Puttshack", a very similar concept, a block away if you really get blocked. -The electronic scorecard only allows you four players. (Unsure what another reviewer said about gigantic groups. It, literally, is only programmed to allow four players. It's very possible that parents were just letting kids playing alongside with zero "scorecard" as it'd be easy to do that.) -The Lodge course is on the first floor, and the Garage and Library are on the second floor. There's an elevator between the two, but I'd caution people with limited mobility that there are narrow walkways within most of the courses themselves. Restaurant/hallways are wide enough for wheelchairs if someone wanted to accompany though. -When we came, the Library was decorated for a Valentine's Day pop-up. You could play the Valentine's Day pop-up just the same as regular Unlimited, making their "upcharged, single Valentine's Course" event really expensive with no gain for you. I'd have been annoyed if I'd paid that for the promised "romance and lots of Instagram worthy spots", but it was a cute addition to the standard Unlimited Normal price we paid. -If you want to memorialize your scores, take a photo of the digital scorecard right after you put in the final score. Like, be READY as soon as you put in that number. It disappears into the ether as soon as that final score is put in. I'd love to see it wait for a confirmation/30 second delay to allow people to get pictures before the final scores disappear. PROS: -No idea why they make each Puttery so gorgeous, but they are. The interiors are very shiny and thought-out, and if you're not pressured mid-courses, it's really fun to look at the details they've put into the course decor. (From iconic photos of Pittsburgh to historical posters of golf or fun-looking books). Even the seating is comfy and pretty, and I'd come here just to sit and have drinks, a la cocktail bar, if I was in the area. -A good variety of drinks with mostly housemade ingredients. Sweet or spirit-forward, they have both (and beers and wines). They're $15-ish a pop per cocktail, but as it's hard to take a break mid-course, you'll probably only end up doing a few if you do all three courses. -I love the drink ledges at each hole. This makes things so much easier to play. Make it to your course's hole, put down your drink, take your shots, and pick up and get ready to move on. -Each course is REALLY well-themed. Our car-loving friend fell in love with the Garage, and I loved the calm and astronomical vibes of the Library. The Lodge was cute, too, and it felt really applicable for winter. -Really, it's just an amazing experience. I have complaints, but I haven't really found a competitor doing things much better than the Puttery does it. We love coming to Puttery locations. CONS: -I went to a Puttery in Minneapolis, and they had a great happy hour. Before I popped into Pennsylvania, I wanted to see if I could plan to hit up their own happy hour. I tried for (literal) days at different times of day, calling the number to see if I could get a person on the line. I'm not sure what was going on, but it took calling on four different days to eventually get a person to tell me they don't have a happy hour here. I'm really frustrated by companies continually crapping out on their ability to contact a business ahead of time. -Someone needs to rethink the drink ledges in the Garage section. The "ledges" are as tall as their highball cups, making it very, very hard to retrieve a cup from the ledge without touching straws and the drinking areas of the cups. Considering how dirty your hands get from constantly touching new surfaces in here, this was really gross. The drink ledges in the Lodge and Library did not have this issue. -Unlike my experience in Minneapolis, every course had an attendant near it. However, the attendants were playing on their phones while many of the ledges had abandoned/empty cups sitting on them. Zero complaints about playing on your phone, but make sure the area you're monitoring is clean first. -I had this same complaint at my last Puttery, but I LOVE the electronic scorekeeping. Every hole, you take your turns and you put your score into a tablet attached to the start of the course. It then, digitally, moves your scorecard onto the next course. It's SO convenient. It also means that you can't "swap" groups mid course. If there's a single kid zooming through on Unlimited plays, he'll be constantly stuck behind you, waiting on you to finish, as the scorecards don't allow you to "swap" with a group ahead or behind you.

    I have many great memories of visiting Sunset Golf from my childhood. Growing up in Jefferson…read moreHills, this was one of the closest mini golf course to us. I wanted to visit one more time before they permanently closed, so I did just that on the last weekend of operations for the mini golf. Sunset Golf is located on Brownsville Road in South Park. It is in a more serene area, and has a private parking lot. Along with mini golf, there is a driving range, golf lessons, a pro shop, as well as some concessions to partake in. We visited on the final Saturday of operations for the mini golf, arriving around 3 PM. It was fairly busy, but we were still able to enjoy our afternoon mini golfing and taking in the atmosphere. I thought the price for mini golf was fair at $8 per person. The mini golf was lots of fun! It was a 27 hole course, with a lot of variety in the holes. There were some more simplistic ones, and others that were more intricate. Some of my favorite holes were the water fall hole (#2), the Grinch House, and the Pirate Ship holes. Some of the holes were challenging, such as the one that is simply an uphill slope, or the one with a rotating receiver. The variety was nice to keep it interesting and moving along. You could even win a free game of mini golf, or some strokes removed from your overall score, depending on your performance on the last hole! I enjoyed getting to keep score the old fashion way with the book and paper. This place overall has a nice blend of newer, more updated aspects, while still keeping true to its history and providing some nostalgia in ways such as. I think on a normal day, you could probably get through the course in about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on your party size. However, since it was more crowded on this day, it took us closer to two hours to get through since there were a lot of groups ahead of us that caused a natural bottleneck. The staff members were all very friendly, and also helpful. I could tell they took care in their work, as I saw several taking care of holes and keeping up with the landscape while we were going through the course. For example, coming through with a blower to remove mulch from the greens. I have always loved this place, and was so glad to be able to visit one final time. I also got to bring my fiancé here for the first time this trip, since he is not from here and had never been before. Even despite the extremely harsh heat and sun, we thoroughly enjoyed getting to visit this day! I will always cherish the memories made here, such as my sister's birthday party when we were kids, and all of the other good times over the years. We will definitely miss having a locally-owned mini golf so close to home, and being able to support it!!! Thank you, Sunset Golf!

    My son and I stumbled upon this business looking for something different to do in the area and I am…read moreso glad we did! It is located near South Park of Allegheny County Parks, right on Brownsville with a free parking lot, and I wish I knew about it sooner. We went at the perfect timing as it was pretty empty our first game and then our second, more people came. Their prices are incomparable of only $8/person for 27 holes of outdoor mini golf with each hole having a really creative theme about it (ninja turtle one with sewers popping up, grinch one snowing with bubbles, mario, ship with weather storming for a nice cool off during a hot day - to name a few) and the second game is half off so if you play a second it's only $4/person. The driving range goes by how many balls you'd like, I believe we got a medium basket for $13. The last hole of mini golf gives you a chance to win a free game. We had a wonderful bonding experience. Maybe only good tip to know is bring your own water bottle and snack as we were able to bring ours but they do sell water bottles for $1/each. Such an affordable nice time, we can't wait to be back! (Also captured a beautiful rainbow on our visit!)

    The Pine Creek Golf Center opened in 1993. The center has a driving range, a shop that sells golf…read moreequipment, and a mini golf course. The center also offers private instruction for golfers of various ability levels. My husband and I are not "real" golfers; We visited for the mini golf. Currently, the cost for the putt putt is $8 per adult and $5 per child aged 13 and under. When we paid our fees for the putt putt, the employee promptly and politely served us. The putt-putt course was not the most interesting that I have ever played, but my husband and I had fun with it. We skipped one hole because it was covered in some rain or other water, but the other holes were in good condition. After we finished our putt-putt game, I returned to the employee to purchase a small Hershey's ice cream. She again served us very promptly and politely. I had chosen the Orange Blossom flavor, which contained vanilla ice cream and orange sherbet, and I enjoyed it.

    If you want golf lessons this is a wonderful place to go…read more Personally, I found it to be a great value and the instructor I had was terrific. Debbie was patient and gave really great tips and information for a semi beginner like me. I left knowing exactly what I needed to work on and feeling confident that I could join any group of golfers this summer. I really can't thank her enough. I'm ready to have a great time this season.
