    Tetris anyone? These pieces do move.
    Norberto M.

    Had the best time with my son as we bonded on a trip for his basketball organization. We randomly decided to go here and it was one of the best days of the trip. The holes are super fun and not overwhelmingly challenging. The concept of this place is awesome! A sensor follows your strokes/swings and it's all on a screen at every hole. No more carrying pencils or trying to keep track. Even when your losing you have a chance to over take the game with the many bonus points areas. We did all 4 courses and I would definitely do it again. After completing a course you can access the next area on your phones by going to the messages if you opt in to pre purchase other coarse. They serve food and drinks. Each hole has a small table to hold drinks and hooks to hold your bags or coats. They do have table with chairs if you want to sit and eat. I found out we have one in our area. Can't wait to take the whole family. I'll update my review once I try the food. Hence 4 stars (for now). It does get busy so it is good to look ahead of time for availability since it is based on time slots.

    Was looking for something to do on a chilly night and came across Puttshake. It's definitely like no other mini golf course. You check in on an iPad and there are several game options. There are multiple courses to choose from, and you can take a mini break in between each. A game board keeps track of all the scoring so there is no tedious paper and pencil. All of the holes are so thought out and unique! The bar was great, and there are a little tables throughout. The only downside was checking in on an iPad and missing the opportunity to ask questions or get clarification. It was a little tricky how things worked and we had to ask several people while trying to get started.

    Stopped here on a Friday afternoon on the way back to our hotel. With staying in the strip district right down the street from the Terminal, we had been to the Puttery across the street and not particularly liked the experience. The Puttshack was a little different: first there's room to stretch out. There is massive areas to sit and wait, to sit down and eat, a huge bar with tv's, and a variety of spaces-- not to mention 4 courses. Puttery is very tight and small. Just feels like you're a sardine there. Puttshack is more of a full experience. Would recommend.

    My wife and I went on a Saturday afternoon date to Puttshack. She got me a gift card for Christmas and it seemed like a great day to use it. Everything is digital from registering to score keeping. We were able to play nine holes on the Emerald Course (I'd do 18 next time because the holes are short). It was busy with groups and couples but not overwhelmingly crowded. There is a full bar and you are able to take drinks on the course. The holes had a fun theme to them and kept you engaged. After our nine holes we sat at the bar and had a pretzel and a Octoberfest pint. Bartenders were friendly. Puttshack has different golf specials throughout the week. It was a fun way to spend some time on a Saturday afternoon. I would definitely go again.

    Get it in the green for a good chance at a hole in one.

    Darnell (aka Nelly) was a great host for our visit to Puttshack. He made the whole experience a pleasurable one, helping our family feel comfortable for our first time playing putt putt. Darnell was personable and kept the kids laughing. He explained the rules and we were on our way. In the end, my 15yo son said he thought it would be a terrible experience but as it turned out, he enjoyed it. The holes are challenging, but not impossible. Getting a hole in one is possible in several of the holes. One thing we really enjoyed was that the scoring is automated, so it makes for a fun and social environment. We recommend this for families and friends alike!

    Puttshack is one of the most premium mini golf courses I've ever been to. I'm visiting Pittsburgh and I've heard of Puttshack before, but this just happened to be our first stop in the Strip District. It wasn't lively in the dining area when we visited (2 PM) but the mini golf courses had a good amount of people playing. Our waitress, Crystal, was the best server we could've asked for. She kept our soft drinks refilled without us having to ask, and made sure we enjoyed our food. She raved about the things we ordered and it makes sense because everything we had was flavorful. To start, we ordered Shiitake Mushroom Potstickers. The ponzu soy and peach dipping sauces were fire! It was the perfect sweet/salty combo for dipping. For my meal, I ordered the Korean BBQ Bao Buns and substituted the meat for bbq jackfruit. The bao buns were pillowy, chewy and delicious. Not spicy whatsoever if you're someone who avoids spice like me. Finally, per Crystal, the dessert was a must, specifically the Key Lime Pie. Not tarty and just enough sweetness to kill the craving. The crust was excellent. Highly recommend! Everyone working at the Puttshack was polite and friendly and willing to help. Puttshack seems like it would accommodate large groups of people, too. A wonderful place for people of any age to have fun!

    The service is as great and friendly. I was there for a private party, so it wasn't too loud in the back room. The main room was very loud, but the atmosphere is great. The food and drinks were delicious and they even continued to serve drinks while we were mini golfing. The themed hikes are so much fun and there are tables around you can keep moving drinks to at each hole. Service at the bar after our party was also good. I definitely hope to go back with friends sometime.

    Inside
    Ryane S.

    We were in town visiting family and checked Yelp/Groupon for fun things to do indoors near our Airbnb. We found Puttshack with a great deal and couldn't resist. We registered ahead online, so that when we arrived we could go straight in and check in. We chose one 9-hole game because there was 6 of us and we didn't want to be there all night (even though I'm sure the kids wouldn't have been bothered lol). Each hole had a challenge that was actually really fun to master. The bonus part about this place is that you don't have to keep score!! The ball has some type of tech/chip that registers when you start at each evolve and keeps track of each attempt to get the ball in the whole. I loved that part the most because with all of us, we had more time to enjoy ourselves instead of keeping track of tiny pencils and paper. We will definitely be going back the next time we're in town because we've seemed to make the area it's in one of our go to spots. *bonus is they have free coat check so you don't have to worry about keeping up with your stuff while you're moving through the course.

    May 2025 menu of beers and wines

    PuttShack is a chain business that offers mini golf, foods, and drinks. Please see my attached photos for the Pittsburgh location's menus for May 2025. A couple of weeks in advance, through PuttShack's website, I purchased tickets for 4 people to each play 2 games of mini golf. The total price including tax was $118. On the website, I did not see an option for choosing the specific mini-golf courses. Days later, PuttShack emailed me to register everyone in my group. We had to register everyone's first names, last names, email addresses, phone numbers, and dates of birth, which I thought was a lot of personal information. On the day of our reservation, a Saturday afternoon, we arrived on time, and the employees assigned us to two courses that two people in our group had previously played. We would have preferred to have played the other two courses that nobody had previously played. Furthermore, an employee gave us coupons for a free game, but I had already purchased two games for each person, so we did not use the coupons. The holes consisted of creative games, and everyone in my group seemed to have fun. The courses were crowded with groups of other customers, so we had much waiting time in between holes. Friendly employees asked if we wanted to order alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks. I drank one Passionfruit Lemonade mocktail and liked it.

    Truffle fries

    I've come here a couple times for mini golf! It's fun. Lots of photo-worthy moments and it feels very modernized. For example at one of the holes, it's trivia meets mini golf, it asks a trivia question on the screen, you shoot the ball in the answer for extra points. It's pretty quick, we've been done a whole round in like 20 minutes as 2 people. They have drinks and food too, with plenty of options to choose from and lots of seating. Plus a bar area. We got the Thai fried chicken as our appetizer. They were pretty good! And plenty on the dish for sharing. I got the Asian beef lettuce wraps as my main. It was different than I expected, marinated pulled beef instead of ground beef like a typical Asian lettuce wrap dish. It was okay but not what I expected. I'd skip it next time and get something else. My boyfriend got the bacon burger and liked it, and got a side of truffle fries. The fries were delicious though a little greasy towards the end.

    We went on a Sunday evening and took advantage of the all-you-can-play offer which is DEFINITELY the way to go and well worth the price of admission! We did all four courses, and only ever really had to wait for the people in front of us on one of them. The technology behind these courses is amazing with the high-tech ball tracking and score keeping system, and the holes were unique and challenging along the way! Had I realized it would be this fun, I would have booked earlier and spent even more time playing courses again, because I can't overstate how much fun we had over the two hours we spent at Puttshack!

    Christina S.

    I had a great experience here! While I didn't eat or drink anything--partly because it was a bit pricey and we had just eaten--I came for the indoor putt-putt golf, and it did not disappoint. It was so much fun, and the fact that it's indoors made it even better. Of course, winning the game made it that much sweeter! The venue offers four different indoor courses, though you don't get to choose which one you play--they assign it for you. The service was fine, and the ambiance was absolutely stunning, adding to the overall experience. I'd definitely come back just to play again!

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!

Mini golf was very fun and I loved the themed rooms. They could use some upkeep though, as some things were slightly falling apart, otherwise it's pretty awesome! It was $25 per person to do all three courses, which I didn't think was bad. It was a good time and definitely worth it to me! We arrived during happy hour, on a weekday, which was awesome because it saved us SO much money. I personally wouldn't eat there outside of the happy hour menu, especially after I tried the food. Pricing is just too expensive to only be selling garnished bar food. Anyways...I ordered the street tacos without the sauce or cheese because I cannot eat dairy. I was able to get guac, pico, & lettuce on the side, which was superb! The tacos came out first, without any of those sides, and I had to wait 5-10 minutes for those side toppings to come out. The tacos were cold and the chicken was quite dry. Luckily our wonderful server came out with the side toppings which really helped mask those couple of flaws with the tacos. The first server that asked for our drink orders only asked me what I wanted to drink, then walked away and got the water but never brought it back. She didn't even ask my friend what he wanted to drink. I thought that was strange and honestly unprofessional. The second server came around and he was STELLAR! His name is Damond and he's an absolute peach! Super kind, patient, and happy to answer any question you have, no matter how annoying it may be--lol. He really seemed to pick up the pieces that the previous server left behind, and his service completely shifted my dining experience. We were very well taken care of with him around, and I just had to recognize how wonderful of a job he did! The world needs more Damonds! In the grand scheme of things I'd definitely come back for mini golf, but I highly doubt I'd try eating here next time, out of fear that the food won't be any good again.

    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!)
