    We went to Puttshack to celebrate our adult son's birthday. We all had so much fun that we decided we would be back in the future. We were very surprised that the food and service were so good. Not what we would've expected at an indoor golf place.

    Fun for corporate events or very casual putt putt enthusiasts. I visited recently for a corporate event, and the best part of the experience was honestly the food! We all loved the mini bites and appetizers served. Everything was delicious! I especially loved the coconut shrimp and mini sliders! There were a lot of great options for vegetarians, GF and dairy free eaters. The papa itself is a fun time but is pretty quick. It's a fun take on classic mini golf where you're actually trying to get more points and have a higher score versus a low score. The putt putt holes are super short and I can't imagine someone could possibly get over 3 or 4 on a hole unless they were really not trying. I think this worked well for a corporate event because we were enjoying making small talk and being casual about the experience, but I don't know that I would come here on a first date or with a group of friends because we would just move through the mini golf course so quickly. But if you are looking for just a little activity to do before enjoying the food and bar at this location then give it a try!

    The food was really good. Typical pub food. The server was great. She was really nice. The drinks were good too. Not too strong not too weak. The food came out HOT. Only thing is it's one team per hole and you have to wait until the party in front of you finishes. It can hold you up if it crowded. Only thing I didn't like. It was my first time, I didn't know what to expect. But I'd go back. It's a little pricey. I was able to catch a deal so I think I paid about $60 for my family of 4.

    This is a good hangout. A little putt putt while doing some gulp gulp, perhaps followed by some chomp chomp while yap yap with your posse or date, or both. Face it, we all need a loud atmosphere with food, fun, and music every now and then. A place to forget about your work week and let loose. If I let loose my pant button pops open...sorry. Don't sleep on their food, they really incorporated some nice plates from around the globe within their sharables. They have great salads and flatbreads too. If there is one pet peeve that my friends get tired of hearing about, it is the people stacking up behind you, waiting for you to finish your hole. This may be unavoidable with mini golf. Fortunately the type of crowd in Puttshack are more patient, happy..or maybe slightly boozed up, and thats cool. This is surely something you should try at least once.

    Went here for a birthday party dinner with friends and the food was fantastic! We had the gyro, chicken and waffle and margarita flatbreads. We had Cobb salad and pad thai salad. All were shared and we loved it! Great flavor! Portion sizes were great too! Our server was fantastic! So great and we were taken care of well! Can't wait to go back and hit happy hour!

    I've been meaning to check this spot out for the longest time since I've heard such good things! You make your time slot reservation online and check-in at the kiosk when you get there. You pick your putter and they give you your ball to play. There's a bar in the main area so you're welcome to purchase your beverage before starting your game. There's multiple courses and they're super fun and different than your usual mini golf course. There's a lot of tech involved so that the ball keeps track of your strokes and your score. It's affordable and such a fun activity to do with friends and family.

    So this is really a pricey experience for what you get. I believe if they had better promotions we would visit a lot more. However my son does love it here. Many courses and we love how the electronic scoring works.

    We had a gift card and a visitor from out of the country. This was the perfect reason to pay a visit. Our group had five and two of them were children. We walked in without advance reservations on a Saturday afternoon but we were able to secure a booking within the next 20 minutes for the 9-hole game. We had a fun experience although it can feel a bit rushed when there are others waiting behind you. I think we took approximately 30 minutes to finish the game which is not a whole lot of time. We recently had a second visit on a Sunday morning for a birthday party. This was a more ideal experience for us because there was less people and we played at our own pace. This is particularly beneficial for young children who needs a lot of guidance on how to play. The food was served buffet style. We tried the pepperoni and cheese pizza, fried chicken bites with Thai chili sauce, fried shrimp, chicken quesadilla, chips and artichoke dip, and tater tots. Everything was the standard fare and served in a timely manner. Party attendees received a voucher to return for a free game. Our daughters had a wonderful time so we will definitely return.

    3.9.. Love the coat check option when you first walk in. The bar area is busy and great options. Most of the bar tenders were pleasant. Lots of seating areas around the golfing. I do feel that reservations for the golf should be a thing. (This is not a place or time to perfect your leisure skill) It was pretty crowded despite the constant moving in each golf area. People navigating selves, children, and drinking adults can make for a haphazard. There needs to be more structure in this area especially depending on how large your party is. The food my friends reported was good. The grill shrimp I actually tasted. Great grill flavor and presentation. The drinks were delicious and not too expensive. I feel like I would return for drinks and food.

    $19.00 martini as served. About an inch short of the rim.

    Wow. Food okay. Server okay. TINY $19.00 Martini and a flat skunky beer. Salt grinder broken and spilled salt all over the table and plates. Great time playing miniature golf though. One and done.

    I just tried Puttshack in Oakbrook for the first time - and it was very fun! The downstairs area when you first walk in is a coat check, and then you take an elevator or the stairs to the actual place.This is an indoor mini golf space, with a bar and restaurant upstairs as well. You can put your groups name on a waitlist on their touch screen computers upstairs, or make a reservation in advance online. There are 9 holes per game that you get to play, the cool part about Puttshack is that the place keeps track of your score for you on screens at every hole through the balls they give you (no old school recording on pencil and paper), which is really convenient if you wanted to keep track of scores with your group. There are also 4 different places inside you can play 9 hole games at, the whole place is really cool to look at the theming of the games and the neon lights are really nice. All of the employees I encountered were pretty friendly and helpful if you had questions on how anything works. I'd definitely recommend a visit if you want to do some mini golf, it's even more fun if you have a group.

    I had a great experience at Puttshack! Second time here and this time it was on a Sunday afternoon. It was pretty packed which I expected for a few days after Christmas. They have coat check when you walk in. On the second floor is where you do self check-in and then retrieve your balls and clubs. The overall set up is okay. It's a bit confusing especially if it's your first time here. The areas get pretty packed so I do think they should have less reservations arrive at the same time. Nonetheless, the games are fun and exciting and you can sip a drink while playing. I always opt to eat before or after playing, and I've enjoyed the meals I've ordered here. My mom has a few food allergies and the executive chef came to our table to tell her what meals she could safely eat. We were very impressed and grateful for the attention to customer service! Drinks are a little expensive for the place, in my opinion, but somewhere I will definitely come back to!

    It was super fun here it's so cool that the balls track your progress and score so you don't have to, had a great time

    Ask the Community - Puttshack - Oakbrook

    Would this place be good for a nine and seven year old child?

    Yes I have those ages and they love it. Expect about 30 min for mini golf and then make a reservation to eat. They love the food too. They also love immersive gamebox which is located in the same mall if you want to book before or after

    Looking at photos, it appears there are lots of colorful lights; are any strobe/flashing? Asking as members of the potential party are photosensitive. Thanks.

    Not that I can remember. There's definitely a lot of lights at each putt area, but not strobe.

    Is this place family friendly for children around 2 years old?

    If you go on "off days" and when they first open, taking your little one could be fun but the course is a little challenging for that age range I would say.

    Are you able to do walk ins?

    They are but depending on how busy, you might have to wait 30mins to two hours (according to the workers). Best reserve a time online

    Your website says that it is $12 for one game. How many holes is considered "one game"? Is it really only 9 holes per game?

    Yes. Only 9 holes. Takes about 30-45 min to complete with the crowds.

    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.

    This place was cool. We had our company dinner here while in Chicago for our annual meetings…read more It had a little bowling alley area that was being used by other folks, it had a banquet area where we all had our buffet line and ate, and it had a very cool little bar right in the middle of everything. The bar tenders and the wait team was AMAZING and were right where they needed to be when you needed them. They were nice and friendly as well. The food was kind of like bar food but had a little bit of an upscale feel to it and everything was very tasty. I highly recommend this spot for a night out or a company function as they were on point for both the night we were there.

    Not a fan of restaurants that kick you out while you're eating.

Just not a good experience after being told there was no time limit originally they told us our time was up and brought us the bill. Don't come here if you're planning to visit and relax because apparently your expected to shovel down your food and drinks and GTFO. I also felt very bait and switched I called and was told the Galentines special would have vendors so we can go shopping. I was excited to think we would have food, visiting, plus activities but we only had 3 vendors one of which had already left by the time I went looking for them. They did have lush who had a crafting station for your own bath products plus a goody bag so they were definitely a high light. But I'd really anticipated something different from the advertisement especially when I called and asked questions about the event. There were no jewelry, nails, crafts or anything other than one vender with purses and watches. So this could have definitely had more variety. The DJ was in a completely different room so it wasn't like you could ask for songs and get to sit and enjoy them. The omelettes were decent, chocolate fountain had good strawberries, although I think they use melting chips. The buffett felt very carb forward. Two pastas, pizza, fries with a very small carving station compromised of what looked like two very small dried out looking pieces of meat and chicken strips and chicken in the buffet. So not much variety. I would say there's definitely better buffets with better selections where you can get your money worth and not be given a time limit so you can actually visit the people your with rather than feeling like you need to rush as even the bottomless mimosas are time limited.

I can see where they are trying to go, but it's not there. The place is in disrepair if you pay attention at all (cracks, holes, chipped paint), a crappy elevator, there's even random crap thrown in a corner still in view of guest. If you want to be taken seriously, then handle all the stuff no one sees that isn't sexy, rather than just putting lipstick on a pig. There's no consistent theme. It's like 5 different people walked through a 2nd hand store in a rush, with no other options, so each picked what they found in their scavenger hunt and then threw it all together. It's a big space. The staff was great and welcoming. Seriously, they were solid. The place is a 2 star, but staff is worth another star. It just felt like coming to visit my aunt who doesn't get a lot of visitors so she threw everything in a closet knowing guest are coming over. We all have to ignore the smell and everything else. The stuff on the walls makes sense to her as they are her memories, but there's no theme other than her history, so none of it makes sense to anyone else. It's just awkward. The reason this place isn't booming is 100% on the owner. They are trying to look bougie, while ignoring real issues, and clearly in way over their head attempting to do way too much with too little. They need to take a loan or get an investor and make this place amazing. It could be, but it's not. Then again, not sure if the place they dream of could survive in that area as the prices would need to double and the area may not be willing to pay. Potential investors may have said the same. I see the vision, but also see the reality, which just frustrated me as there was conflict around every corner. Also, the bar closes early at like 8 or 9pm. Additionally the upgraded rooms with "garden view" are anything but. The actual room is good. The detached building however looks like it was a nursing home that's never been changed or upgraded; at least on the outside and entrance. When you walk in the front door of said nursing home, it SMELLS like a nursing home. It was strong and not in a good way. When you are in your room and look outside at the "garden view", it's a crappy 1/2 wall that appears to have been designed and built as a favor by a drunk uncle who was in a rush. It's very small and insignificant. It's an eye sore, but the "garden" is actually just the back yard looking directly into a crappy middle class neighborhood of back yards. All in all, my "get away" upgraded experience felt more like a motel 6 with a $1,000,000 dream on a $500 budget.
