I've been to Puttshack many times and always had a great experience -- until now. On November 8, 2025, we made a reservation to play 18 holes at 4:17 PM, with a scheduled start time of 4:40 PM. However, we ended up standing in line for over an hour past our start time because the venue was clearly overbooked. When we spoke with the manager, we were told that no refunds would be issued, even though we never got to play & over charged for drinks. This was incredibly disappointing and honestly some of the worst customer service I've experienced in years. Many other guests waiting in line were just as upset. I've always enjoyed Puttshack in the past, but this experience left a terrible impression. Do better, management -- not refunding customers who didn't get what they paid for is simply wrong. read more

Had an amazing time here. Love the layout and vibes and all of the games with lots of space and lots of seating. When you enter we were greeted with a great smile. There's an area where you can choose the games and you can also play games and eat or just go to play games. This place is huge. Love the bar areas and great for families. Definitely would be back. read more

What a great spot! We came across this by accident and thought it was such a. great concept, It was mid afternoon on a Saturday and it was fairly busy with couples and small groups. The lines were long for the putt putt but they seemed to move along fairly quickly. There was plenty of off staff around and they were engaging with the customers. Though we didn't have time this visit, I hope to have an opportunity to experience it fully on the next visit, read more

This place was pretty cool! Lot bigger than I thought it was. There is a bar and several mini golf courses to choose from. They have Bluetooth balls and courses that keep track of points for you which is nice, and a lot of the courses have a mini game aspect to them so that you can win/loose extra points. The ambiance was super cool, very bar/arcade like. Way more fun then I've ever had a typical mini golf place. They have food you can order and drinks you can order while your playing the courses. I got the Porn Star Martini. It was alright, it tasted really good, but when I get a Martini I expect it to be filled to the brim (ie if they don't do that your missing half your drink). I ordered 2 of the martinis for me and a friend, the guy didnt make enough and then watered mine down with extra syrup to make the drink even, then proceeded to hand us half full martini glasses. (they were $15 each so I wasn't very happy) Other than that I really enjoyed the place and will definitely be back. Probably won't be ordering that martini again though. read more

Conceptually, I want to love this place. It's a creative idea that removes some of the annoying stuff about mini golf; I like that it's climate controlled, the holes are interesting and engaging, the system keeps score for you. The interior is clean, vibrant, and fun to explore. However, our experience was plagued by tech issues. Some of the holes would not register our play. Others would not move to the next person's turn, even though we followed the directions. It slowed us down considerably, which meant the people behind us were waiting, which also put a damper on things and kind of stressed us out. For what it costs, we should have had a smoother experience. read more

Place gets really busy so would recommend making a reservation prior to although you can get a booking when you get there but will just have to wait. The food is a bit different than normal bar food. The choices are a bit unique. But over all a very fun activity to do read more

Indoor putt putt is a great idea for date night or an outing with friends. Each hole is uniquely designed making it challenging and fun. I also liked that we didn't have to keep score because they did it for us electronically based off a tracker in the ball. This is a highly sought out place in Pittsburgh so you need to make reservations ahead of time. It's in the Strip District so parking is horrendous. There is a restaurant and bar with good food options: pizza, sandwiches, and appetizers. Food was good but service was terrible. They were very short staffed. There was one waitress for the entire dining room. It took us over an hour to get food and very hard to get drink refills. We almost missed our reserved game time waiting for food. To end on a positive note: there is a coat check available read more

We had some apps and drinks then did a round of golf. This was our second time and we ended up doing the same course we did last time which was not my favorite. The bathrooms are super clean and the staff were all very helpful. The food was delicious and priced reasonably. read more

Super fun and interactive activity! I enjoyed the different drinks and high energy atmosphere. Unfortunately, there was overlap with the holes on the different courses which makes it less exciting if you've already done it. I had to wait at the bar for a decent time after my friends all received drinks. The one putt side didn't have a server, so you couldn't refill your drinks before you finished. We were able to get a server on the other side of the courses, but took a long time to receive it. Fun to try at least once, but recommend getting a drink before starting! read more

my granddaughter and I had a delightful experience at the puttshack. The friendly hostess guided us through the check-in process. However, there were some technical hiccups with the ball kiosk; it malfunction and our balls got stuck. We smoothly completed the first two holes, but encountered an issue on the third hole where our names didn't appear on the kiosk. They had to restart it, but from there, everything went well. The unique aspect of this experience is that it's not about achieving the lowest score; you aim for the highest score, which depends on your golfing skills and offers the possibility of bonus points. They have 4 nine-hole courses, and the cost for one rounds of putt was $24. We learned that if you visit on a Wednesday before 4:00 your second game, is half-price. We plan to return during that time on our next visit. One nice thing about going on a weekday is that it is not very crowded. read more

Overall , a super fun place to hang with friends! The put out is split up into 3 courses. We were assigned the Sapphire course and had a lot of fun at the holes. They were actually challenging, even for adults! The cocktail menu was unique and I got the strawberry mule and thought it was yummy. Their appetizer, Buffalo chicken dip, was absolutely delicious. I got their OG burger and felt it was bland and underwhelming. Service was pretty slow in the food area so the servers could be more attentive. Bathrooms were VERY clean (A++). My only other complaint was that during dinner they cranked up the music even louder so my friend and I could literally barely hear each other talk from opposite sides of the table. I'm all for loud music but they made it TOO loud in the dining room area.... read more

Ok spot for a date activity, but it's pretty short. For our party of 2 people, each round of 9 holes took 10-15 minutes. At $14/round per person, that's $60-90/hour per person with tax. Best to go during weekdays before 4pm when your second round is 50% off. The tracking technology is pretty cool, like Topgolf for mini golf, and the designs are creative, but most holes can be completed in 1-2 shots. There are 4 different courses, amber, sapphire, ruby, emerald but there are lots of overlapping holes/puzzles between amber/ruby and emerald/sapphire so I think 2 might be enough. But if you have the moolah, then go for all 4, why not. read more

I didnt participate in anything there. However, downtown, there are many businesses that wint allow you to use their restrooms unless you patron there. Also, there arent any porta potties because of the homeless population downtown. But this company isnt above anybody else and they let us in to use their restroom! SO THANK YOU FOR BEING GOOD PEOPLE!! read more

DO NOT support this place! They illegally work their employees! They literally will not allow their employees to have breaks no matter if they're working 6 hour shifts or 10. They force them to stay after their scheduled shift ends AND they literally will change their schedules online an HOUR before start time. They make their employees work jobs that they aren't hired for ex. hired to operate games and made to be a barback. The customers berate the employees in the absolute worst way and try to fight the employees. Do not support a place that treats their employees as starved slaves and allows the customers to treat them like they do. Disgusting. read more

We had a fun time! For only 9 holes, it's very expensive at $15. The food and drinks were pricey for what you got too. There was a group of us that went and did have a good time though. The holes are unique and the ball keeps score for you. You can even take drinks around with you read more

Very crowded on a Saturday night. It's 21+ after 8 pm. The most high tech mini golf course I've ever been to, the ball keeps track of your score and your name throughout the game. Instead of doing typical points by hits, they have additional points and hazards to lose points. The coolest ones had moving obstacles and trivia games. Each game per person was $14 and you cannot redo shots or redo games unfortunately. Pretty expensive for a mini golf course without being able to repeat. The Employees are nice. There were two times when our ball disconnected and we had to get an employee to check it out. It made the wait time pretty long for the people behind us. There was one game with two groups of 6 before us so it was more waiting than golfing. The bar was pretty crowded and it took a while to get help but the drinks were pretty good. The cocktails were about $13-$15. The music and lights were a great touch. read more

This place was all around 10/10! The wait wasn't long at all for a Friday night for dinner. Our server was amazing, they were so accommodating & personable! Our cocktails were absolutely delicious and not watered down like it feels most places are these days! The food was spectacular! The menu had some great options, the appetizers were so good! We got the pierogi type egg rolls, OMG, I would recommend getting those! My Caesar salad was HUGE. I was overly stuffed after finishing! My friend said her flatbread was also really good & not too spicy! After we ate we also played a game of putt putt. The games were more interactive and just a cool experience! If you are deciding between here and puttery, I would choose puttshack everytime! read more

We had a great time a Puttshack for a date night! The innovative moving parts and the high-tech electronics incorporated into each hole made the experience unique. Although it's not a traditional mini golf experience (highest score wins), it's fun and interactive. I also LOVED that our scores were automatically tracked and displayed on the screens above each hole. The only downfall is the price. Each course is only 9 holes, and it costs $14 per person. I don't think the price is justified by the length of the course. I would love to either see a decrease in price or an increase to a traditional 18-hole course. read more

We had originally tried to go to the bowling place up the street but they were extremely busy and seemed a bit unorganized. Also they didn't seem to have many kids there. My son actually prefers miniature golf over bowling so we went here instead. This is by far the coolest miniature golf course that we have been to. The system automatically tracks each player's ball and adds up their score. No pencils and paper. Also the themes are so cool. They have a total of 3 courses to play. We were short on time or else we would have done other courses. We also ate lunch there and I enjoyed my Nashville chicken sandwich and my wife liked her salad (which was huge) Friendly staff and super clean facility. Wish they had a location close to northern Virginia! read more

Had to try one of the 3 golf places within a five minute walk of each other in the strip.. but had a good experience. There are clearly some technical things they still need to work through, some course pieces weren't moving and the balls would sometimes not be detectable but the courses we did were a lot of fun. Really enjoy the interactive ones where there's trivia or true or false questions. We went on my birthday with a group of 10 and were able to play twice. Bonus that if you sign up for perks you get a free round. We each paid around 15 for each game. A few didn't play and sat at the bar. Apparently service was really slow, but expected when it is a new place. I will be back! read more

The lady asked if we been here before, we said yes, she said oh ok then walked away. Went to ask a worker a question about the game, immediately was rue and had an attitude like his last name was puttshack(wasn't) and "we blew is coworker off," which was completely wrong. Then continue and said you're not getting my help with the game. So good luck if you came here before and forget some stuff, just say you never came or you'll be treated like Mon water! read more

it's Sunday, my wife's working, and I'm on kid duty, trying to come up with something different to do. Putt-putt has always been a family pastime of ours, so when I saw this new indoor interactive putt-putt course in the newly revamped Strip District, I figured, why not? We arrived right when the doors opened, and the hosts were polite, though I wouldn't say they were rolling out the red carpet for us. As first-timers, we were just trying to figure out the basics--how to log in, set up a reservation, where to go. Eventually, we made it to our designated area, which required a bit of logistical maneuvering. We got assigned to the blue section. Now, let's be clear: this isn't a cheap outing. But it's a unique one, and I'm all about doing something different with the family. For that reason, I'd say it was worth it. But would I take the kids again at this price? Probably not. Maybe just the wife and me for a date night--we could hit the bar, grab a drink, and really enjoy the vibe. We didn't try the food because, let's be real, taking kids out to eat these days can easily set you back a hundred bucks, and I'm not about that life right now. What makes this place special is the variety: Pong putt-putt, Trivia putt-putt, Target putt-putt, Wheel of Fortune putt-putt--you name it, they've got it. It's seriously cool, and I encourage everyone to check it out at least once. You might find you love it, or maybe you'll agree with me that it's more of a one-and-done kind of thing. My one piece of advice to the owner? This place is awesome, but maybe consider offering some family-friendly times or pricing during the week when it's less busy. Right now, you're looking at about $45 for the three of us, and the whole experience is over in about 15 minutes. It leaves you feeling a bit unsatisfied, like you could've used just a little more bang for your buck. But I get it--cool experiences come with a price tag read more

Pros: Great tap list with local beers from favorites like @gristhouse , @voodoo_pittsburgh , @eleventhhourbrewing , @eastendbrewing , @hitchhikerbrewing , @helltownbrewing & more ‍ The mini golf was super fun, interactive, challenging, and high-tech I'd say this is a little more affordable than other spots at only $14 a game for about 45 minutes of play Notes: ‍‍‍ This is definitely a family friendly spot You don't get to pick your course (or at least we didn't), BUT they all looked equally as fun Each course is only 9 holes, but you could play more than one of you wanted to stay and extend it for a fee Overall review-we'll be back, this spot was really fun. We even went to @aslin.pgh and @bonafidebeerco right after since they're so close. Cheers Yinz read more

We have been to puttshack in different cities and Pittsburgh was a little disappointing. While waiting for our course to be ready, we attempted to sit and grab drinks. It became very overwhelming with the hostess saying sit in a general area and other employees not being happy with us for sitting in that are which were not making us feel very comfortable. The spacing of guest reservations was rough with two parties of guests right behind us while courses on the other side of the building were relatively empty. We had some issues with the ball tech not being able to track our balls and needing to reset. Garbage cans didn't have bags meaning guest left empty drink cans everywhere. Had to use the bathroom during our reservation and they had closed the women's room while members of our party were in the restroom without warning and putting barriers on the bathroom doors creating a game of limbo for us to leave the bathroom. Disappointed in the Pittsburgh location. Hope it was just an off day! read more

Had dinner at The Terminal but didn't feel like going home yet. Felt like a drink and a dessert and stumbled onto this place. There was a line at the door but that was for mini-golf. Pre-booking recommended, this place was packed! Our friendly waiter Pete promptly took our order and came back often to check on us. Between the four of us, we had a beer, wine, shot and a martini, no complaints there. For dessert we all chose the Sticky Toffee Banana Cake, all four of us were pleasantly surprised how good it was. Bright lights, loud music, comfy chairs and a nice bathroom. Great place to hang out. read more

The Puttshack is a newer spot in the Strip District with extremely cool golf courses. They have 4 different courses you can play at and we were at the ruby course last night. For food I got the Porn Star Martini and the Puttshack Poutine. The martini was very fruity and delicious. I love poutine fries so anytime I see them on a menu I have to order them. They were super good here. I wish the cheese chunks were just a little bit smaller, but other than that I loved them. The last time I was here I got one of their margaritas and it was delicious as well!! I think this is a really great spot to come with friends for a fun night out or with your family read more
