Great place to have lunch with friends, family, & kids AND play a round of mini golf. When you enter, head to the left. There are two areas. The far back is perfect for those with little kids. There's a play ground. Or, go with the first spot which is near table tennis. Service is excellent. Bar tenders greeted us within a few minutes of sitting down. Plenty of follow up once food came. Food is decent too. We ordered the chicken wrap, mahi tacos, and chicken sandwich. Everyone enjoyed their food. There are two 18 hole courses, black (easier) or red. read more

PopStroke has two courses, red and black. We arrived at 11, just behind a very large group so we headed on the red course first. I had downloaded the App, so I could put our scores right in the score card. Turns out they have big screens throughout, that show your scores and other people that are playing. Cool idea! The music is very loud. We thought it would have been a good idea since Monday is senior citizen day, if they played classic rock instead of modern music. The course was really nice and we had a lot of fun. After 18 holes and then a challenge hole, we stopped for drinks and lunch. You have to pull up the menu on the app. There is a variety of sandwiches, salads, wraps and apps. You place your entire order, including drinks in the app, pay for it now or later and everything is brought to you. Our drinks arrived quickly by a friendly bartender. I settled on a fried chicken sandwich with fries. Food arrived quickly and looked good. The sandwich was fine and was served with a spicy sauce. We played the black course after lunch and found it as enjoyable as the red. A fun day was had by all. We will be back!!! read more

Located on the outskirts of Sarasota near I75, the PopStroke is an upscale mini golf experience that is fun for all ages. The business is well run and the staff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant is under roof and open to the two 18 hole mini courses. I ordered a Smash-burger (two 4 oz patties on a hamburger bun) with pub chips. The burger was served hot at the temperature ordered. It was juicy and delicious. If I were to pick a bit, the bun absorbs the juice and the bottom disintegrates. A more hardy, grilled bread would likely work better. In all, this restaurant stands on its own as lunch destination. read more

PopStroke - Smashburger - Mini Golf Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

PopStroke is a fun place to spend some time. In addition to the 2 mini courses, there are other games as well. They have cornhole, ping pong and a few other table games. The neat thing about the golf courses is you can order beverages through an app at each hole and they bring it out to you. They also have a restaurant there, which is pretty much bar food; we didn't eat anything. A full way to spend a number of hours! read more

Went to Pop Stroke for the 1st time. I had heard great things about it. I brought my 3 grandkids. It was Thursday afternoon and the restaurant was empty. I was told that I had to order through a QR code. I used my phone to pull up the menu and did the best I could to order 4 meals. Technology is not my forte. I ordered each of my grandkids a grilled cheese sandwich with fruit. A Cobb salad for me. Sandwiches came out relatively quickly. They were two thin slices of toast with Kraft American cheese. The fruit was soggy and not fresh. My grandkids finished their meal and I still had not received my Cobb salad. When I asked the server why such a delay, (especially with no one in the restaurant ) he said that I ordered the sandwiches as an appetizer and my Cobb as an entrée. ‍ Again, technology is not my forte. If I wanted to order online or in an app, I could stay home and use DoorDash. There are so many lovely restaurants in the UTC area. Pop Stroke is not one of them. A very distasteful first experience that will most likely be my last. read more

I came here for the first time and was not disappointed. I heard that they were opening one close to Miami so I'm happy about that. This was really nice. We came to bring the kids to hang out and have a good time. I thought it was going to be ridiculously packed but it was ok. We sat at a table while our older kids (teens) went to go golf. I was a big fan of ordering on the phone. When we sat down the waitress came and explained the process. She brought us waters and we ordered on the phone. I paid Apple Pay which I liked. The food came out super fast and was actually very good. The drink selection was fantastic'! Their margaritas were super good. They also had a nice beer selection. We went downstairs after to watch the kids and have one more drink. The kids had a blast and then played some foosball near where we were. The ambiance was chill and they had many tvs up with different sport games on. On the way out we were able to grab some ice cream. So basically a whole experience. Totally worth coming here on a day off. With or without kids. read more

Took my angel out here for meeting her AR Goal and man did we have fun! We went through every hole and had a great time. Food was amazing and I like that you can order everything through your phone.

We like having lunch here as it has an outside bar It was frustrating to learn you had to order on the app which I signed up for there Can I please just order lunch without a tech lesson?? They have changed their name to Bartenders with emphasis on Tenders as they are focusing on Chicken I have to say the chicken sandwich was outstanding My wife ordered the club sandwich a which included Garlic mayo (who knew)?? It was horrible Staff was very nice but lacked full engagement with the customer with less to do They seem to be doing a lot of busy bar clean up vs engagement with us Overall ok but not great read more

Had a great time! Great atmosphere, really nice set up. The system in which you order is different but in a good way. Went to play putt putt ... it can get a bit crowded but still fun. Ordering drinks while playing was a def plus. read more

I loved this putt putt experience! This was a very interesting take on it, where it feels like a true putting experience on the course. Similar to top golf where there is food and beverage available for purchase. I like how much you get for your money. The courses are long - and you are able to do both of them however many times you want! The bartenders were very nice and they can even bring drinks to you on the course if you scan the QR codes. I had fun and would go back. It was nice to go in the evening when it was cool outside. read more

The is a bar area on the course. There is also a QR code at each hole and you can order drink and they will bring your drinks to you. They also have a bar and table Loki g over the courses where you can eat, drink and hang out with family and friends. There are Tiger Woods Courses. Black course is an easy course might be easy for little kids but if you are interested with a challenge try the Red Course. At the end of each course there is a bonus hole called the "Challenge Hole" if you also like to try. There is also a playground for young kids to play and round around in. We came down from New Hampshire for a soccer tournament at IMG and we wish we had one of these up in the New Hampshire. read more

We had a blast!! To address the criticisms: - yes there's no shade. Trees are young - yes it gets crowded at night - yes restroom capacity is limited - yes they need another set of cup holders around the green so you don't have to walk back to every tee! - yes a few more garbage cans would help - having NO air conditioning in the dining & bar areas is a big miss. Fans are nice but blowing 90 degree air doesn't help much. We were there in the late afternoon so we missed the crowds - an issue which they need to address in a group size limit - just break up groups larger than 6 or 8 into smaller sets! The Red course was the more difficult (the more child friendly is the Black course) and being all adults we went that route. Tough course! Fun! The place sports three bars - one rooftop, one main dining area and a tiki bar in the center of the course (it was not open yet). We ordered drinks to start, the had another round delivered on course - ordered via the app After our round we headed to the restaurant & main bar for an early dinner. Food was good bar fare...an upside surprise. We'll be back. read more

Came here for the Sarasota PopStroke Tournament in May with my boyfriend. The red course is pretty tough and few opportunities to get hole in ones. Ample seating. There's an upstairs area, but it was closed for most of the day, there's not much shade up there anyways. The food was pretty good. I enjoyed the smash burger the most. It's the perfect small size burger for me. If extra hungry you can get a double. The fries were the most disappointing thought. They needed to be fried for more time. For each day we're there they were always soft and not crispy. They flavor was just OK for the fries. read more

Can't say we had a bad time at PopStroke. I also can't say it was the most fun we have ever had though too. I will however say that the naked chicken wings I ordered were some of the best I have ever had in my entire life. I'd go back just for those, ha! When you go to PopStroke you pay $30 for a full day pass. Access to 2, 18 hole putting greens... Not sure if that's a good value or not, but by the time we finished our second round of 18 holes, PopStroke was packed to the BRIM, so I could see people stopping for lunch and then attempting to go out for a 3rd round but then being scared off by the crowds/waiting. We got there around 10:30am so we beat a little of the rush before mid-day but around 12pm it got really busy. Not sure I'd go back to PopStroke over any other put put place, but it was a nice outing during the week between XMAS and NEW YEARS where people are left wondering WTF to do. Ha Ha! read more

$25 for a day pass seems like decent value considering how much mini golf there is to play here. Enjoyed there was not an annoying theme and it was just generally oriented at feeling like a more realistic golf setting. Being able to leave and come back means we were able to take a break and run around UTC to grab lunch and run errands. However, when we came back to finish the course, it was really busy and there were lines at every hole. Would have been nice if they had dedicated some of the staff to managing the crowd. read more

This was where my son wanted to go as part of his birthday festivities. Pros: -well maintained -friendly bar staff on the course -loved how the "sand traps" were easy to work with Cons: -having beverages easily delivered to your hole made it easy for participants to get sloshed on the course -no one to regulate inebriated guests to move along on the course (One guy "lost" his ball and his party all looked for it for 5 mins. It was in his pocket. Another party would stand on the green while ordering drinks then wait for them without moving aside so other could play through.) -front desk staff talked to themselves about how much longer they had of their shift before being acknowledged -not enough shade for Florida sun while waiting for a hole This place seems fun. Beautifully designed, great outdoor activity, and the idea of playing a round, eating and hydrating, then playing more is great. It just needs a few tweaks to make it run smoother. Because of those more worried about what drink to have at each hole, or large parties (one group had 11 people waiting for each person to sink their hole before moving on), it took us 2 hours and 48 mins to finish a round of putt putt. read more

What a fun concept for kids and adults! I love the idea of it but feel like once more people know about this place, things could get hairy. $25 for all day play for adults, not too shabby at all. I wonder if they really allow you to stay from open to close or crack down? They have two courses....black and red. Red is the more difficult hence had more adults. I was with family so we did black (and my niece ended up kicking butt so go figure!) My beef is with the efficiency end of it. Everyone starts at #1 then continues on from there which makes sense. But not on a Saturday night when there's a lot of larger parties. You have to wait for the parties in front of you to finish the hole then move on. It's a lot of waiting. There's a bar strategically placed in the middle. Genius! You can also download the app to get drinks delivered to toy. No one seems to be enforcing bringing you own water, soda or bevvie either so that may be an option if you want to be a loner. They have drink stands at each hole so you can set it down before you tee off. But then you have to walk back and get your drink. First world problem? Yes but just an observation. If you have to scoot to the restroom and you're at home 7 out of 18, there's no easy way to get over there! You have to walk through or around someone's game and it's awkward. Speaking of the restroom, dude. It's bad, they onesie bathrooms, what gives?? With the volume of people they really need multi stall facilities so people don't have to miss out on their games and such. Besides my little observations, this is a cool concept and fun way to spend time with fam, see if a first date prospect is competition or just relax and be a kid again! read more

Love this place! I have a 4 year old and a 1 year old and I was able to bring them here by myself. I enjoyed a meal, had a beer, and also managed to have a great time hanging with my kiddos! We played so many outdoor games and I watched them climb on the playground which is fully fenced in. Service wasn't great. You order from your phone and see a lot of random people coming by but tough to track down your own server. Definitely recommend! read more

Service was great , quick and efficient. Ordering off the app was simple and food was ready right away. Ambiance was fun , enjoyed sitting outside. Food was pretty fantastic really enjoyed the mahi Mahi wrap, tasted spicy and enjoyed it thoroughly. Also ordered a wine bottle for 30$ that was pretty good also. It's convenient that they give you plastic cups also so you can take your beverages on the course. Definitely will be returning , solid five stars. read more

Big fans My wife and I have been anxious to check out the new Popstroke behind UTC. Only open for four days, we somehow managed to find ourselves close enough to swing by. I don't believe that was by accident. Our plan was to just stop by and take a look. There were so many people, so many having fun on the two golf courses. It really looked like fun, the holes so perfect looking, no windmills or loop-de-loops in sight. A test of actual putting skills. We went inside, also busy. I noticed they had ice cream and talked my wife into having some. My scoop of choice was their Caramel Caribou. We searched for a place to sit down, my wife finding a table in their first floor restaurant. We didn't quite realize that initially and set about enjoying our melting treats. On the table was a QR Code to download an app, to order food. As much as I don't like downloading things on my phone to order while I am actually sitting in a restaurant, I did. By now we had realized we were in their open air restaurant. We should order some food. Turned out the app showed us a menu, ordering is still in person. Which we did. After our ice cream appetizer, we got chicken wings, and enjoyed sitting and watching all the goings on. It even started to rain, people played on. We had a great time, glad we stayed a while instead of just taking a look. We will be back for a more proper visit, some golf, more food. We wish them all the success in the world. Big fans. read more

Been to Pops in Ft Meyer's and now the one in Sarasota. This spot is great for spending a day out with your family or with visiting relatives. Golf course is a upscale mini challenge for the seasoned as well as not so seasoned. It's hot in Florida now and every few holes there are coolers with icy towels to cool you down and keep you going. The kitchen is well worth lunch and a drink after a round. I recommend this spot for a family day of fun. read more

The facility is beautiful. The golf is great and challenging. A great place to practice your putting! The food is delicious and the servers are very friendly. I would have given the place five stars if it weren't for the music. It's actually extremely LOUD noise - "artists" are screaming, not singing. Horrible selection of music (if you can call it music). The three times I've been there, I heard one decent song by Hall & Oates, which was a pleasure to putt along to but the "noise" Pop Stroke decided to use is just horrible. read more

Can only comment on the mini golf experience - its great! It was pretty busy when we went for our first game but we brought our patience and stuck it through. We enjoyed the course so much we came back later in the evening and it was pretty empty so got to enjoy it thoroughly and I even hit two hole ones. We talk about it all the time back in Michigan wishing there was one here. Highly recommend trying it out. read more

The smash burgers have hardly any cheese or bacon jam and they are not much bigger than a slider.

Funtime with grandkids. More realistic putting set up with first class architecture and design. Price point affordable for a family. Would definitely recommend and look forward to experiencing again read more

I was pretty disappointed in Popstroke. For one, you just wait in a long line to play a round of putt putt. There is no one there to move people a long. Yes it's nice to have an all day pass, but you really need that to play the both courses. We also order drinks from their mobile service. They never came. We were told when they get too busy they don't even look at the mobile orders. To me, it's just an over priced putt putt place. read more

We started our first experience with lunch on a Saturday upstairs. Excellent dining spot overlooking the courses. The braised chicken salad was well prepared and plentiful. The mahi tacos were awesome and a lot more food for the money. Nicely maintained facilities and courses. It's busy so be prepared. Service is really a moot point everything is online for the most part. All the kids working there are pretty much not engaged. read more

PopStroke - Dining from upstairs. - Mini Golf Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

I am not a golfer, but I love mini golf. We got here right as they opened, and thank goodness! When we left, the lines to play both courses were INSANE. The course is very clean and well-maintained. None of the holes are crazy - some are more challenging than others. We all had a great time, and would definitely go back - to play the same course or the other one. It's a reasonable price (less than I would have thought), and I like the idea of the play all day option. My one complaint is the online system for scoring. I don't love that everyone else can see your name and your scores, but that's just me. read more

My boyfriend and I were in the area visiting on vacation and decided to check this place out as a cute little date night spot. We arrived kind of late (9 or 10pmish) on a Wednesday night and it was so nice! Barely anyone was there and we got prime parking right out the front! My favorite way to do date night lol When we arrived, we paid for our mini golf first due to the time they were closing and headed to eat at the outdoor bar. The weather was perfect for it. The staff at the bar were nice, however not super attentive. We ordered our drinks and they arrived promptly, then shortly after we ordered our food which arrived quite quickly as well. We got the tuna tartare, fried green tomato and the strawberry fields salmon salad with a medium cooked salmon. Everything was so flavorful and delicious! Once we ate we headed to the mini golf. There's two courses you can take and we probably would have done both had we allocated enough time, however, we ended up finishing one and we had such a blast. So many laughs and good times! At the end of the mini golf you get to keep your back as a little souvenir. read more

We visited PopStroke in Sarasota on Father's Day, and while the experience was mixed, there were some highlights. The place was understandably busy, and the service was a bit rude, likely due to being very understaffed. Our burger and fries took quite a long time to arrive, but when they did, they were very good. Despite the service hiccups, the quality of the food made up for it. I'd recommend giving it a try, but maybe on a less hectic day. read more

PopStroke - Burger and Fries - Mini Golf Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

I was here for a work event. My company reserved the upper bar for a presentation of our product to a bunch of brokers. The facility is visually very pretty. The mini putt putt course isn't the standard windmill and castle mini golf course. It is mostly green, like a professional course. The building is new and modern and clean. There are plenty of bathrooms for the amount of seating. I will warn those thinking about doing a company event here. The only areas that can be closed off to the general public are not indoors. They do have sun screens and fans, but you're still in the Florida gulf elements. For our 3pm event, it was hot and muggy. (I left before the rainstorm blew in, but I imagine that the sun shades wouldn't keep out the September gusting rain.) There's no hook up to do a PPT presentation (we knew that and brought paper handouts) or podium. Our meeting was casual and small enough that it wasn't a big deal. But if you want something more formal, this isn't your place. They have three mostly fully stocked bars in total, and one that was dedicated to our area. There were times when the server offered to run downstairs when a guest ordered something not physically at the bar. (The servers were very friendly and accommodating.) They catered our event with bar food (flatbread, sliders, etc.). Our guests seemed happy. I didn't have a chance to taste the food. There's plenty of parking, and they are located within the UTC complex (although pretty far from the street, I think I counted three roundabouts?). read more

We came on a Saturday night at about 10pm and it was certainly busy. We just played the putt putt side which tried to resemble an actual golf course putting green. The look of it certainly felt like it but it played like a traditional putt putt course. I was hoping it played more like an actual course since you get a real golf ball when you play. Theres certainly improvement needed. There were lots of young kids out there and there really needs to be a lead staff out on the greens to deal with anything that comes up. I will say the staff that was left when they closed allowed us to finish the 2nd course which was expected when you pay $50 plus for two people. read more

Really fun mini golf experience! They thought about everything when designing this cool establishment. I love how they have a bar and restaurant area, we didn't get a chance to check out the upstairs bar due to the weather. We didn't get food (will next time!) but their drinks were pretty decent. We enjoy a great game in both the black and red course (the red is a bit harder than the black but I highly recommend both, we had so much fun, 18 holes each). They have a bar in the middle of the course so you can get a drink while playing. Also throughout the field there's cup holders so you can take your drinks with you and hang your jacket or purse. If you don't want to go to the bar, have codes posted all around the field so you can place a drink order via their app and someone will bring it to you! The only thing that I would change is adding a restroom on the field, do have to walk a bit depending on where you are playing if you need to use the restroom. They also have a ice cream area which is perfect for the kids and family afterwards! Being able to keep your ball is a nice souvenir. The staff was pretty friendly and efficient. Lots of parking available but can get crowded depending on the day. I will definitely come back very soon! read more
