great service and super fun Playing gold and playing all the games. Employees were all super nice.

Wonderful arcade, plus glow in the dark mini golf course. They have a high top bar area & light up golf balls that I absolutely loved. The golf course was long/good length and had some interactive features. They have a good option of arcade games like PacMan (where you battle each other. It was a bit confusing at first), La Bubu claw machines & Mario cart driving wheels. You can also spin a wheel at the counter and win a prize for writing a Google review. I won a pink lite up golf ball. read more

Show up ten minutes early it said. So we showed up 20 mins early. Nobody there. Just us. They made us wait until our appointment. Just sit there at the entrance. For no reason. read more

Such an awesome experience for all ages ! We loved going as a family, great lighting, clean facilities. There's a small arcade the kids were actually able to win a few prizes. The course changes scenes throughout was very fun! Remember to wear white/ bright/neon etc reflective clothes that glow with the uv lights and play the spin game at the end read more

The only bad thing was the group behind us. They were just rushing through, hitting their balls into our playing area. I can't fault Shankz because they probably have no way of knowing. The place was well maintained and was a fun course. read more

Great family entertainment spot! Kids of all ages ( 6+) will really enjoy it. It's a great family or group destination for fun!

Overall we had a good experience. The concept was fun (balls that light up internally, glow in the dark atmosphere, etc.). The actual hole designs felt... lacking creativity. Eventually they all feel about the same as you go through the full course. Would like to see some more variety (drops, tunnels, etc.) Price seemed high for what it ended up being. We had a good experience, and staff was friendly/helpful, but this is probably a one-and-done type place for us. read more

Fun and engaging indoor mini golf play area. They have different themes as you go along the many holes. It wasn't too difficult but just fun enough for all to enjoy. They also have a concession stand and arcade games as well. We would definitely return. read more

A very fun place! We took our grandsons ages 5 and 7 and they had a blast! It's fun for the adults, too. Cute themed holes and a great place for the kids to run around and explore. They played in the arcade and enjoyed that as well. We will be back. read more

I've been to this establishment a few times since I've lived in the area and the pricing has exploded to the point it's not affordable for a family of 6 (plus two spectators, 8 in total). It's $15 a golfer (military discount gets you 3 bucks off, but if you buy a package there is no discount due to you're already getting a 5 discount with package). $7 bucks to spectate so if you got kids under a given age there is no way around this fee. I'm not sure how I feel being charged to be an authority figure aka parent to make my kids follow your rules and keep from causing a ruckus at your facility. Our cost was a total of $134 (6 Golfing, 2 spectating). There is a limit of 4 golfers per group so we were split into two. No issues with the rule I get it. The birdie package($20) gets you one round of golf, $10 dollar gift card, and a glow necklace. One round of golf takes about 30-45 minutes. The games are very limited a few out of order. Most games are a $1.50 (found only one for $1, claw games $2.50, air hockey $2.25). Think they VR was around $5, so you'll burn through 10 real fast. The miniature golf course has definitely undergone an uplift, though I still see several of the older animals from 6 years ago still in commission. They have beer and wine offerings; so I'd very much recommend this business for a date night for sure. read more

The mini golf was great, the arcade games they had also was enjoyable. Great customer service.

We want as a family tonight and had a lot of fun. Best Mini Golf I have been to in a long time 10/10 will go again!!!

Shanks was very clean, staff was nice and my granddaughter had a great time. The golfing was fun and the games were as well.

We had such a great time at Shanks! The staff was super friendly and helpful. Even went out of their way to accommodate us! Our first time was really fun! Can't wait to go back. read more

Putt putt is fun in the black light, course is pretty basic and small, but that's what you get with most indoor putt putt. Still enjoyable, just make sure and reserve a tee time in advance. The first time we went, we weren't aware that we couldn't just show up and play, especially during peak hours. Great place for a couple hours of entertainment. read more

Such great fun! We did the mini golf and the arcade. Staff was great, atmosphere was chill. Will definitely be back.

This place is small but a lot of fun. Glow mini golf was cool. The VR game was a hit with my young adult children. Quite a few games that were fun for out entire family! We will be going back. read more

This was our first time at Shankz. A friend's sons wanted to have their birthday parties here. Kind of off the beaten path, we finally found it in a strip center. Not what we were expecting at all! I did some research before hand by asking friends who have already been here. Everyone had great things to say about it! All of the pictures on Yelp made it look like a fun place to be so we were excited to try it out!! Right when you walk in your are greeted with a hallway full of games. It's very dark with all the glow in the dark games lighting up the place! The time freak game was fun for the kids! Very interactive and kept them interested!! I assume when you book a party, you get the whole building. There was only one long table set up for the kids. After time freak, the kids lined up for put put! The holes wrapped around and the kids took turns on every hole! They seemed impressed! read more

Very neat concept, everyone had fun, video games for kids and adults. Entertaining mini golf, sodas, beer and wine for sale. No food. I thought the prices very high read more

We had a great date day here! The staff is friendly and the mini golf had a great theme. A handful of arcade games to play, which were also fun, but just a sprinkle pricey. Tons of parking and wasn't super busy. read more

Came here with my husband and niece to have something to do for the 4th of July. They had a deal for 3 activities for about $13 each person. Activities included a game that is similar to "wack-a-mole" where you have to hit the lights as fast as you can in a room, while competing with an opponent. Scores are taken and can be seen on a screen from outside the room. Miniature golf was fun. 18-holes in a dark room with a black light with cool obstacles to ricochet from! I appreciated how they spaced each party apart so that no parties are waiting for each other for the next hole. Though we played fast and caught up to the other party ahead anyway. But, it was not a big deal to wait for them. The last activity we paid for was a "nerf" type game. Upon entering the room, you get protecting eye wear if you do not have glasses. You get a bucket to collect a bunch of foam falls off the ground. Then you get behind the stationary guns and the staff members turn on the air to shoot the guns. The object is to try to hit the colored targets hung on the wall. This was a huge challenge and after trying many times, we all ended up just trying to shoot each other. I didn't like this activity too much... some of the guns did not work as good as others... and it was really hard to aim due to limited movement from the stationary air guns. All in all I thought it was a pretty good deal for all three activities. Gave us something fun and active to do indoors on a rainy day. I also recommend calling them before hand to put yourself on their wait list. They text you to let you know you are approaching to the top of the list. read more

I took my fiancé here a few years ago and we have been coming back once every few months since, you don't have to be a child to enjoy this, this place is a lot of fun and everyone can enjoy it. We always have a blast playing gold and then shooting each other with the nerf air cannons. read more

Cute little date night experience. It Took us about 40 minutes to finish mini golf (2 people). My only issue is that the music was really off. They would play fun, club music and the next song would be very loud gospel music? It kinda killed the mood for the night but the course itself was pretty cute and the cashiers were nice and helpful read more

Shankz - Mini golf course - Mini Golf Near Me - The Woodlands, Texas

This place isn't even close to me and interest from the web site got my attention enough to pack the kids up and drive out to the Woodlands. Something different was the start of my coming out to Shankz. I wanted someplace the kids hadn't heard of and this spot came up on my Google search. After reading the reviews and comparing it to other ideas, I packed them up and headed out for the long commute. Finally we get there and they were closed. So after waiting for an hour and enjoying some ice cream from the spot next door, we finally ventured inside. Right away we were impressed. It was a quaint little spot, very dark and that's cool. Some fun with shooting the balls at each other using the little air guns as we waited for our turn to enter the golf area. Okay, so yes we liked it. Nice round of 18 holes of putt putt and the kids loved the scenery and especially the dinosaurs. What I didn't like is that you feel kind of rushed with it being such a small place with only one putt section. They actually used up the space very well but any group with more than 2 kids and 2 adults playing, I would have to say it's simply not enough time to enjoy yourself without completely taking up too much time on the course. I would return if ever I'm in the area again. There isn't much staff there and the 2 that are, aren't like owners who want you to come stay and have fun, but rather, the "geez I have to work on the weekend" teenager attitude. Friendly but, totally not the attitude for a place for fun and enjoyment. Smile and Prosper. read more

I don't do parties anymore. I used to love them, the bigger the better. But with time, so went my patience. So in lieu of parties, we have the kids choose what they want to do for their special day and they are allowed to bring a friend or two along in the celebration. This occasion happened to by my daughter's 7th birthday and I showed her the website for Shankz. She was really excited about going as a special treat for her d-day. There was a total of 6 kids and 4 adults @ $8.50 per adult and $7.50 per kid. This might of been reasonable to me, but it was over in less than 45mins. They charge an additional $4.00 for a second round of golf or for the ballaster. Plus $2.00 if you want the 3D glasses. I'm sorry the price is not worth the place. We could have been done in as little as 20 mins had I not stopped and taken so many pictures. The establishment is nice, don't get me wrong. It's indoor blacklight 3D miniature golf and the art is amazing. It was worth it just for the experience and definitely memorable. But not a place for us to hang out. They only have vending machines, no food concession. They also have two air hockey tables and a few arcade machines. I think we had more fun playing a few rounds of air hockey than actually playing miniature golf. A lovely memory, ready to find more new places around town. read more

Shankz - Mini Golf Near Me - The Woodlands, Texas

This place has improved vastly since the last time I putted here which to be honest was well over 10 years ago. They now have a VR simulator big enough to play with a party of 4, a small arcade area, and a pretty artsy funky putt putt course. If you want to play it all it will cost your $30 a person which isn't as since most VR places I have seen cost more that that alone. We had a fantastic time here, only downside was some of the other patrons playing minigolf, they kept hitting the balls to hard and would hit us. Other than that annoying moment we had a great time. read more

super fun! good 45 min game. very cool concept and affordable. 10/10 recommend. they also have an arcade so after ur little game u can play fun arcade games read more

This place is pretty cool! The glow in the dark aspect makes this putt putt place pretty fun. Kinda wish we had a place like this closer in to Houston, but oh well. Everyone gets a different colored glow in the dark ball, which is very helpful. It's not the most difficult "course," but they pull some tricks to keep it interesting. My group went on a Sat evening and it wasn't really busy. The people who worked there were friendly and nice. Most of the other people putt putting were young couples. One thing to note: they close at 10, so you can't really make it a late night outing. Only downside is maximum number of people in a group is 4, so if you go in a larger group, you'll have to split up. But who wants to wait on 8 people to putt anyway? read more

We really loved the look of the course and thought everything was really pretty. It's a nice date night place. The owner was very nice and welcoming! I will be back for the VR! read more

It's such a cute place to play mini golf. The black light decor was so nice and pretty! The glow was very bright. The course was also fun! It is definitely a good place for a date night adventure. The staff and owner were nice and welcoming! read more

To expensive to start, they charged $50 for 2 adults and 2 children under 7. Took about 30 minutes to get through the course with groups not really staggered apart so we had people on our heels as we were on top of the group in front of us. The worst part, 1 guy on the staff was at least trying to put forth some effort to try and make it fun, however most of them seemed to be to bother by the customers. Pretty sad honestly, won't be back. read more

This place is super well done! Not a cheap little mini golf setup like some I have been to! They definitely put the effort into it and it's priced affordable too!! Kids had a blast!! read more

It's been awhile since I've been miniature golfing and this place is great for that. It is glow in the dark and soon as you walk in the fun begins. It has 18 holes. I believe it's a tropical forest/ pirate them. Great for the kiddos. read more

Mini golf was fun it took us around 30min to get through the whole course. Arcade didn't try but it was very small. VR is overpriced we paid $15 each for about 6 min of gameplay. read more

Waited an hour for 8 minutes of fun (and 30 minutes of monotonous, hot mini-mini-mini-MINI golf) Went on a Saturday night around 7:30, my group of 6 was put in their iPad queue and told to "wait about an hour". Finally I decided to walk up to the desk and check the iPad, my group was next to be called BUT for some reason the employee (who I believe is the manager or owner. 35ish year old man wearing a collard shirt) called a different group before us. I wouldn't really classify any of the holes as fun. There were some obstacles but they got old fast- so I decided to try and toss my ball into the hole. Big mistake, the same employee from before came running back to tell me NO, not allowed. Turns out there are cameras EVERYWHERE. To the point were it's a little creepy. When we left we returned the clubs, but the same employee again frantically came over to us to make sure I returned the one pair of 3D glasses I paid for. Let me clarify, for TWO DOLLARS I bought a pair of 3D glasses to make our golf experience "three dimensional". In reality it just made everything a little blurry and hurt my head. Well turns out these glasses were just a rental, must be some high quality lenses...(they weren't) I would give this place 2 or even 3 stars if maybe the manager/owner guy showed some remorse for having us wait an hour to pay $60. But he did not, he was much more concerned with getting the 3D glasses back Suggestions: don't go on a weekend night, don't get the 3D glasses, don't expect to not be watched for the entire duration of your golf game. read more

This place was good for the whole family I could not use the yelp deal, so it was over $30 bucks for two kids and two adults but we had fun the glow in dark theme was pretty cool they also sell the glow in the dark necklaces for kids or adults :) the kids and us had a great time they do host birthday parties and company events as well,I like it and we will be back for more playtime and is indoor so that's a plus for me and the kids. read more

Took the two boys (ages 9 & 12) here yesterday and we had a good time. The black light is pretty cool and golfing in the dark adds some challenge to the course. Added props to the friendly staff who went out of their way to find my lost ID (fell out of my pocket when I took out my phone). We went on a summer afternoon and the holes got a little backed up. Also, it would be good if staff monitored the play once in a while-we were playing near a party of teens who actually hit me with their ball once because they were hitting hard and fooling around. But overall, it was a successful outing and the boys would like to go back. read more

Just ok. You get what you pay for. Not many places around for miniature golf. I would go back
