Puttshack Philly is such a fun spot in Center City. The tech driven courses and overall vibe make it way more exciting than traditional mini golf. We did have a little confusion at check in because the front desk didn't really explain how the courses worked, but Nylla completely turned it around. She was awesome, super knowledgeable, and took the time to walk us through everything so we could actually enjoy the full experience. After that, it was smooth sailing and we had a blast. Huge shoutout to Nylla for making the night great. We'll definitely be back. Great deal on Happy Hour drinks as well. read more

This was a surprisingly fun way to spend a cold afternoon in the city. Highly recommend for rainy days! They have a huge footprint in Liberty Place with 4 9 hole courses and a large bar/dining area, You can RSVP online, but I think they take walk-ins too. We got there a little early and headed to the bar for a drink. We drank the beer on tap, but they were making a variety of beautiful cocktails behind the bar. When it's your turn you head to your course, they are distinctly named: Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Amber, each with 9 holes. Pickup your putter and get your ball from your Puttnation rep at the beginning of each course. It's not your typical mini golf course. The balls have chips and are assigned to golfers. Each golfer finishes the hike before the next golfer begins. It automatically counts your strokes and keeps score. There are additional games of chance built into the game and a chance to win bonus points. True or False, Trivia, Connect 4, and more. So it's not based on the fewest strokes, but the most points. It was a lot of fun and I'd definitely do it again. I wish the courses were more unique...out of the 36 holes there were numerous repeats that appeared in all of the courses. You can skip around on your course as well, the ball knows who you are when you put it on the tee. Just don't do the 9th hole because it doesn't return your ball! Service at the bar was fast and friendly. I'd say the same of all the staff we interacted with, from the host station, to the coat check, the bar, and on the course. read more

Puttshack - Philadelphia - Mini Golf Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

** Service was great, bar was stocked, and the atmosphere was chill I went on date in Philly and decided to check out Puttshack and see what the scene was all about. From the moment I walked in I was greeted and guided to the area I needed to start. i signed in and waited on tee time. The bar-tender , mixologist she was a very warm person and that first real conversation set the mood. The staff inside of the putt lane (Sapphire, groupon deal) was nice and she even took photos with the kids from a party that were the (13 I think). Personability is ball easily dropped in service businesses but this location hit the mark. Overall: Food: N/A - only sampled drinks this time Drinks: 5 stars- Well made, the alcoholic type Atmosphere: 4.5 - Loved the scene just being in a small shopping hall you could see blocked doors to the mall section behind some putt obstacles. But still was a very nifty place. Staff: 5 stars - very nice people even the young folk (they can be rude at times some places in the bigger cities) but here even the younger employees were awesome Parking: 3.5 stars - this location in on Chestnut so street parking is luck of the draw but a one block walk either direction there are 2 parking for pay areas. One near CAVA (see my CAVA review for Mediterranean food on Chestnut) Conclusion: 4.5 Stars read more

I went to the Pittsburgh location and was excited to find out that Philly had one too! This interactive, digital golf is awesome! Each hole is a different adventure! The bar and restaurant area has plenty of space even on busy days. The food was pretty good, and the drinks were very creative! The service was pretty slow, even when not busy and I had to ask the waitress a few times for certain orders. This location also seemed more expensive for less of an experience compared to the Pittsburgh location. read more

This place was just overwhelming. We were here around 1 on a Saturday. It was pretty packed. This is not your average indoor putt putt. It has a full bar and food menu. The putt putt are electronically scored. Each hole are scored with plus or minus points to you basic points. It was fun but we had enough after 9 holes but already paid for 18. It was just too crowded and with some holes keep breaking down we ended up skipping them. It was definitely an experience. read more

Fun mini golf spot with a big bar area for food and drink. It can get pretty busy in here especially on weekends. Food menu had mostly pub fare and easy bites, and the drink menu has some nice big mixed drinks. Cocktails are all big and appear fancy. Mini golf signup is easy, there is a desk or you can go to the kiosks on the wall. The score is tracked through a chip in your golf ball though this may pose some issues with picking it up properly. Pretty interesting design on some of the courses, it was pretty fun. Not all of them are super intuitive though, but aiming for the green spots proves valuable for your score. There are multiple different courses (sapphire, amber, ruby, etc) so it's a different experience on which you are assigned to. Overall a pretty fun spot. Thanks read more

Very fun place to play virtual mini golf. Food and drinks are okay. Good customer service. Fun vibes and ambiance. Overall a great place for family fun, date, group fun. read more

I went to PuttShack on 4/19/25 and it was fun! The food was great, the games were amazing, and everything was aesthetically pleasing! I was with a group of 6 people and the games went super fast. We were all able to get our balls and clubs and begin playing right away. It's really cool, because you can keep track of how you're doing with the screen at each station and see how others are doing as well. However the games do go by super fast and my brother's ball got lost and stuck in one of the holes so he couldn't play for the rest of the time, so that wasn't really nice. Overall, it was fun, but I wish they had more stations and that the balls didn't get stuck. It was also pretty crowded for some stations. read more

Puttshack - Philadelphia - Bathroom sign - Mini Golf Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Game-ified mini golf? Count me in. Came here on a recommendation while visiting folks in Philly who have kids, and this is a stellar spot for big groups, adults or kids! The system registering for a game and then going to a different course and playing at your speed is really neat. The layout makes it really seamless to play a 9 or 18 hole, and during my entire 18, didn't feel like we were waiting or holding anyone up. The game it self has so many more interactive fun tools, and i love that the ball and score are all electronically tied. It removes cheating / errors, and helps with flow! I love how each 9 had a little differences so it really is a unique experience. The food was pretty good! After we were done with our 18, we got some food an more drinks. The bartenders are great and super smooth in keeping up with large crowds and large orders. The buffalo dip was a crowd pleaser but would want to come back to try more tasty bites! read more

I took my 15 year old son here and it was super fun! It's good to make a reservation. We got there early and we were able to start putting right away. There are 4 different 9 hole areas. We were on Ruby. The best part is it tracks your score the whole time. It went by super fast so I would suggest buying 18 holes. After we sat at a nice booth and Cokes and appetizer. We got the potstickers and the humus with pita. We enjoyed both a lot. Definitely would return here again. read more

Came here for a fun mini golf outing with my cousins. The courses are small, 9 holes but there are multiple ones so you can go to others. It was a bit crowded but everyone gets a personalized golf ball so you can skip holes and go back to others if there's a wait. You can easily finish a course in 30 minutes which is bit too fast in my book. One of my cousins attempted her last hole for a course but it didn't count and since it was the last hole, she didn't get her ball back to re try. We had some similar issues where the hit didn't process and we had to start over on that hole. We also got drinks there but mine was not great. I got a pornstar martini but it had a spicy aftertaste. It might be cause my sister ordered a spicy margarita and maybe it was made in the same shaker? We didn't have any food here so can't speak to that. Probably won't come back here since we completely 2 courses while we there but nice to check out once. read more

We booked a reservation and upon arrival we were advised to check in at a kiosk. The kiosk advised to go to the ruby area, so we asked the hostess, who pointed us in the right direction. However, once we got there, it wasn't clear what to do next. There was a contraption with screen which said balls were there, but staff access only. After standing around for a while, we flagged down a waiter who stated he would find someone to help us. Another 5 mins and help arrived. I don't know if they were understaffed, but it seems like an attendant should be in each area to explain the process. Or it would have been nice for the hosts to have made sure someone met us there to give us balls, as you cannot get them on your own. Overall we had a fun enough time, but the process needs a little improvement. We didn't eat there, so I can't speak to the food. I would probably return, but I'm not in a rush. read more

We had a nice time but the putting experience was a little underwhelming. It was my birthday but I didn't get the free game & none of the staff cared enough to explore why. 2 people- $35, a bit pricey for the short time we were on the green. Unless you're a really bad putter (or in a large group) the 9-holes goes by pretty quickly. Our game included a couple hiccups & restarts because the ball wasn't registering w/ the computerized scoring- interrupting momentum to switch balls & causing the loss of some good shots. The courses we didn't get to try looked similar to what we already played, but no complaints on the overall design. The holes didn't present much of a challenge, but thanks to the themes still held our interest. I can see how on the right night w/ some drinks this could be a lot of fun- it just wasn't the best inaugural run. read more

The mini golf games here are more modern and incorporate technology to track your balls. I liked how the scores display on the screen as you play along each course and how some of the games are more interactive than just hitting a ball. It's a fun way to pass the time with friends. However, their technology for tracking the balls was far from perfect. It kept on not detecting the balls and we'd have to redo the course. Sometimes it would just restart the scores for the course. We ended up not looking at the scoreboard since it was too glitchy. Also, getting the balls from the staff to start playing was a pain because the golf ball machine kept on glitching and not spitting out a ball. For the price we paid and it being only 9 holes with a lot of glitches, the game didn't seem worth it. read more

A fun spot for a night out! Makes a fun date night activity that is different than meeting at a bar or going to dinner! It is fun, interactive and even when you had to wait for a hole it wasn't bad. The mini golf is fun and they are more like little games than regular mini golf which I liked. The best part is that you don't need to keep score since it is all electronic! The staff is super friendly and I didn't think it was overly expensive! read more

Such a fun place to hang out with friends! It can def get crowded on the weekends, but even with a group, we were able to walk in without reservations and start pretty quickly. There's a free coat check which is always convenient. Looking forward to trying drinks/food next time! read more

I came here on Labor Day and the bar was not busy at all. But bae and I sat at the bar and I set my timer. It took them over 5 mins before we were acknowledged. We were actually getting ready to leave but what saved them is the tennis match was on. Now once we got service the food and drinks were great! But it was the ignoring us at first that left a bad taste in my mouth. The Brussel sprouts were so good and came with peppers which gave it a good kick. The shrimp skewers were good but had gotten cold when they brought them out and they serve it over cornbread. The margaritas were good not too sweet. I would go back to give it another try and to play putt putt golf because the vibe seemed fun. read more

Putt Shack has long been on my list of newer establishments to check out. The west side of Chestnut Street is a bit devoid of "activity" places in the wake of the pandemic so a new mini-putt location is a beautiful sight. ENVIRONMENT I'll admit I was surprised at the sophistication of the mini-put setup. Upon entering, you are advised to veer to one of several mini-putt course environments(each with different games). The balls have sensors which keep track of your scores and you are guided around your course via screens that showcase your reservation. The overall design was quite sleek. FOOD I'll admit the food service started off a bit shaky. I was sitting for 10+ minutes before my server arrived. However, the delay was acknowledged and the service I received afterwards was prompt. The food was tasty and "elevated" for the expectations of mini=putt cuisine. There wasn't a single dish that was a disappointment and the brussel sprouts were a standout! Overalll, this is the perfect place to consider for a first date, corporate get together(there was one happening during my visit) or a relaxed night out with friends. The min-putt course and food were far above average. Happy swings! read more

Oohhh what fun! This is a cute, fun place that is fun for the whole family. Kids and adults alike can enjoy themselves. Each hole came with its own unique challenges. They were fun and quite quirky. The drinks were delicious, but I didn't try the food. If you're looking for a something fun to do, make a reservation. read more

Came here as a pit stop after seeing STOMP at the Miller Theater (see my review!) and going to dinner at Sura Indian Bistro (see my review!). My kid and I had an ok time people watching and having some drinks at the bar. Puttshack is an over-the-top mini golf place combined with a bar food type restaurant. The music blares and the couple hundred people we saw on a Saturday afternoon seemed to be having a good time. The mini golf courses (three of them named after colors) were in well kept shape and there were lots of tricks on each hole to get the best score. I'd say that if you've been to electronic bowling with the screens showing the scores of everyone in your party would be the best analogy to how they show scores here for everyone. It's very high tech and looked like fun. Apparently, you can register for times to start online. If you were a walk-in, then the wait could be hours. Based on what I saw on the screens for party tee times they were in 10-minute intervals for at least two hours. There are putters in boxes along the courses and somehow the balls come out of different places to start. My kid and I did not have time to play and probably couldn't due to the very crowded facility. There were all ages here. Families, college friends, workplace comrades, etc. But I did read that after 7pm it's adults only. We sat at the bar rather quickly and were met quickly and very friendly. My kid had a Porn Star Martini and I had a mixed drink off menu. Both were excellent. It took a while before being asked if we wanted any more and I did. The bartender made a recommendation for a different soda and I agreed. This is where we got overlooked. Instead of immediately making our drinks, she took other orders at the register and made theirs. Then she made some more. And again. Then she saw me looking and waiting and pointed out to her other bartender that we were waiting and did offer a "yelled" apology towards us. But, after a few more minutes, we would not have enough time to make our dinner reservation, so we had to leave without the third drink. I don't know if it was ever made. It was just too long to wait and yes, they were busy, but drinks should come out in the order they were requested. $38 not including tip for a cocktail and mixed drink. Server was very friendly but got caught up in the mass of other people ordering and took too long for us. Maybe we'd be back for the mini-golf and some food. Not sure of those prices. read more

For what you're paying the overall experience is meh. 1.$25 for "all you can golf" in one visit seems reasonable, but the four mini courses are 9 holes each and I'd say a solid half of the holes are duplicated at least once if not three or four times, so you're not actually getting a unique mini golf experience with each of the courses. 2.When we went it was not that crowded, but the bar staff were incredibly rude. Initially we just ordered drinks and it was fine, but we came back after two courses to order food and we were flat out ignored as if we weren't sitting there. After waiting five minutes to be acknowledged we had to ask for a food menu, and then THREE bartenders just stood there making drinks for other people not offering us any help, so we ended up leaving and getting food elsewhere. 3.The courses are VERY simple, you will complete 9 holes very quickly for a party of two. The novelty of having a wifi system that recognizes whose ball is whose and tracking your points on TV screens everywhere wears off quickly, and we also had to get help once to get things reset when a hole froze on the previous players. This place is fun in general, but needs better bar/food staff and more variety in the courses to make it worth the price point. read more

Three reasons for a 3 out of 5 1) they had one of two check in machines to start your putt golf experience down and we had a long wait. Then we had some tech issues with the balls being read on the putting greens. 2) My sister spent nearly 20 minutes at the bar to get drinks, then another 15 to get waters. We held up other players due to the delays. I was surprised they didn't offer walking around wait beverage service. That would be a money-maker in a place like this. 3) We had a dinner table res which we were not a bit late for, no worries, they did seat us right away. However, while our starting shareables came right out we waited nearly an hour for 1 dish to come out and we were wrapped in conversation so didn't think much but when we did inquire it was another 20-30 minutes before it finally came out.... funny we added another shareable not being sure our actual dish would come out. So long waits and lost food is my reason. However, as for our play experience, we had a blast and loved the cleverness and creativity of the putting greens. Wish however they had the trivia questions at more putts. The 2 we saw helped drive conversation and get us into a happy mood. Hence, room for improvement. Will be back because it was a fun experience but we might not say to eat or drink. read more

10/10 would go back! This is such a fun upgrade to mini golf. It's 9 hole courses and they have a few courses that you get randomly assigned to. It's hard but not frustrating and it's fun to watch others. Cocktails looked fun and yummy but I didn't indulge this time. The folks working there were nice and helpful and the other people playing were friendly and fun too. Great music I seriously wish this place was in DC - we would totally go back. read more

You can get a free course for your birthday and for black friday they also had a gift card sale, buy $50, get $10 free! With that in mind, I think the experience was totally worth it. The courses are very unique and interactive. I went with my boyfriend so it didnt take us long to complete as two people but i can imagine it taking much longer with a larger group. We went on a weekday afternoon so there was no line and it was straightforward to get set up. Great ambiance, the bar aesthetic is very nice and the courses themselves are arcade-like. We didnt order food or drinks so can't speak on that part read more

This place was great! Mini golf has just leveled up by 10x with this super fun and interactive corse and restaurant. Took the family here while visiting from out of town, the online booking was easy enough, however getting a table was an extra couple of steps that could have been better handled on the website. Overall the experience was amazing and the both me and my wife as well as the kids all had a great time. read more

I wanted to do something fun over the weekend, but still get some good food so a bunch of us decided to go to Puttshack and it didn't disappoint!! Not only can you carry drinks around as you play rounds of mini golf, but they have a full bar and restaurant area too for when you're done! They have a pretty big menu (I loveeed the chicken tacos) and the restaurant part is really pretty! You can even order fun shots for the table (we did scooby shots) I definitely recommend eating here if you're coming to play read more

Easy check in process, the staff was friendly and helpful. The game area was clean and well maintained. The games were fun and worked well! More interactive than a regular mini golf course which was super fun. The food and drinks were tasty and came out quickly. Great service from the bar staff as well. Busy on a Monday night so would recommend a reservation ahead of time. Love that they have multiple courses broken up into 9 holes to keep the options fresh if you go back other times! read more

Cool concept for an indoor mini golf outing. We were a party of 6 (four adults and two teenagers) on a Saturday afternoon (5:00 PM). Reservations are needed, as this place gets packed. You have a 30 minute grace period, so if you get held up at the long coat check line like we did, you'll still be okay. Speaking of which, while we checked our coats, we asked our niece and nephew to check us in by the golf ball area. The guy working the area was quite rude and told them that our entire party needed to be present to check in, and for them to "go away". My niece was so taken aback by this. Uncalled for and discourteous. She is a sweet girl and shouldn't be spoken to like this by a man with an obvious complex. My sister-in-law called him out on his rudeness when were finally able to check in. Each course has 9 holes. We were bottlenecked a few times by a large group ahead of us. We were trying to stay out of each other's way while congregating off to the side. We weren't in a rush, so it was okay. The group ahead of us had a few technical issues with their golf balls, but the team was able to resolve it. I wound up winning, which was 10 times sweeter because my group is competitive! They have a back area which looks ideal for unique group parties (team building events, birthday parties, etc.). No one under 21 is allowed in after 8:00 PM. Probably wise! read more

Went on a double date here a little bit ago. Had a wonderful time. It's a great way to get to know people, breaking the ice, and a little friendly competition as well lol. Would highly recommend for a date night or a fun night out with friends read more

Technologically advanced and well-run. We only did one of the courses, but I was very impressed by the creativity and design. Food was also above average for a place where its main business is mini golf. I will have to go back with my team in the future! Note: we went after work on a weekday and it was relatively empty and not overly packed Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Taste: 5/5 read more

This is a great activity to do with a group of friends or even have a date night. I was in town for the weekend with my fiancee and we decided to do this as an activity. You need to book a reservation, or you can book the reservation at the facility and wait around at the bar. There's 4 different courses and it doesn't seem like you can choose. Also not really sure if the 4 courses are all the same courses. The indoor mini golf course has 9 holes, and the theme of each course is combined with our games you may be familiar with such as beer pong, air hockey, pinball, tetris, connect 4, etc. The golf ball uses a "Trackball Technology" that will keep track of the score for you. Sometimes it works well, other times it's glitchy, but that's mainly because you're not following directions on what not to do (*side eye). We finished all 9 course in about 45 minutes as it was crowded and we did wait on other groups to finish. Overall it's a fun activity and enjoyed my time here. read more

We were staying at the Club Quarters hotel across from the Puttshack. It was late when we arrived so we decided to run across the street to grab a bite to eat. We had to be ID'd to go inside. The hostess sat us at a table close to the bar. We had a bartender come take our orders. The food took a bit to get delivered, but it was delicious. I had the birria tacos and they were wonderful. My husband had the flatbread pitmaster, it was very good as well. The bartender was very nice. We had drinks and they were a bit pricey but the flavor of both drinks was good. It was very dark inside and the music was loud, which was to be expected. It didn't bother us. We didn't play golf, but it looked like a fun time. I did notice the people that were playing were having to wait a little while between each hole due to larger groups moving slower than the larger groups. read more

Super fun place! We went on a Saturday night and the place was packed! We did the 9-hole game and it was not expensive at all. It is even more reasonably priced during happy hour.

Upon entering, you'll immediately be at the host desk. From there, you can either get a table or go to a screen to select what time you'd like to play mini golf. You can always skip golf and go straight to a table by the host or go to the bar. If you play golf, you are pre-selected at one of four courses. They are all pretty cool, so whatever one you get assigned, you'll be happy. If you've been there before, and would like to select a different course, you can always request it, and they can easily move you over. There are nine holes in each hole has some kind of game theme to it. Also, each course is associated with a certain color. There's a little tables at each hall to put your drink down at and somehow your ball has some kind of sensor on it and it just can tell who's ball is who's. No need to keep tally because the machine automatically does that for you. I thought it was such a neat concept I loved it, especially if you've been drinking while playing because who can remember to fill up a little card. After seven, they check IDs for everyone because they have anyone under 21 leave at that time. The entire staff was great. I interacted with two bartenders, a host, several weight staff, a store, manager, an employee to help me get my golf club and ball. Shots were about $9. We had the green tea and the jolly rancher and they were both fabulous. we also ordered a porn star martini and some kind of spicy pineapple Mezcal margarita they were both very good. I ordered the shiitake potstickers and really love them and will definitely order them again. My boyfriend ordered the spicy chicken sandwich. Unfortunately they used too much oil in the sauce and he didn't eat part of his bun and also the very center of the chicken sandwich was really tough, we let the server know and she said she pass the information on but it's too bad it happened. all in all, I had an amazing time. I will definitely be back with some more people to try a course. I haven't played yet. read more

The coat check was down, so they could only take 20 coats at a time. People were holding or wearing their coats while trying to play mini golf. The balls in my group malfunctioned a couple times which caused delays at the holes. With how packed it was, you had to wait in line and skip holes just to keep things moving. It was a bit much, so we ended up eating and drinking somewhere else. I wouldn't recommend going on a weekend night and can definitely see this place being a vibe if it wasn't packed. read more

This is a nice spot to hang out with friends! The food was good and the vibes were nice! This is in the downtown area and if you are driving get ready for parking because it's about $21-40 to leave your car for some days or hours.

We had a blast! Bring your friends, bring your family, bring everyone. There were 5 of us and it was under $20 a person, I believe $17 or so. Idk if it was a group rate or not but it was more affordable than I would've expected. We came dressed as old lady's for my friend's birthday and had so much fun. If you've never golfed before like me, don't be scared, some holes are def more challenging than others but you get points for every attempt, which is nice. Drinks were nice too but we didn't eat here so no comment on food. The staff made the visit worth it, we had the best bartender and amazing golfing attendee. It's also very diverse in here so I highly recommend! read more

I came here with my fiancé during the late June "Heat Dome," & we had a great experience! While the hostesses were a little distracted by their phones, our bartender TASHA was a breath of fresh air!

Her enthusiasm lifted our spirits (we had to pivot our plans with the weather warning). If upper management reads these reviews... TASHA is an ALL-STAR! read more

Puttshack - Philadelphia - Cool signage! - Mini Golf Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Been to Puttshack twice since it's opening (yep - it's that fun). The first time we went was on a Sunday afternoon and the second time was a Saturday night. The environments are completely different during both times. Sunday afternoon was very chill, while Saturday night felt like a night at a club that happened to have mini golf. The positives: the price is great for a game and the courses are all unique and fun. There is a live DJ on the weekends. Mocktails are great. The cons: when I went Saturday night, it seemed that everyone was assigned to the Amber holes even though the others didn't seem too crowded. Because of this, it took us 20 minutes to get our balls. The people in the group both in front of us and behind us were incredibly impatient even though there were so many people waiting to play. I'd recommend Puttshack to rethink the way groups are being placed especially during these busy times. The pictures included are from Sunday afternoon's game. I didn't get any pictures from the crowded Saturday night one. read more
