tldr; high-tech fun concept, but a bit pricey. I've been a couple times and had fun each time. You can make reservations ahead of time to save time. You check in upstairs and go through a brief tutorial. The technology tracks each stroke so you don't have to keep score and it's more difficult to cheat. You can also play the holes out of order if there's a big group in front of you. Each hole has a difficult obstacle that earns your bonus points. It's nice to be inside especially during the Houston summer. The game goes fairly quickly. The game play is accessible for a wide variety from family fun to corporate group outings to date night. Overall it's a fun concept with decent food. Downtown parking might be tricky. Apparently they validate parking so maybe it's not so bad. read more

We came here to have a birthday celebration for a friend and it all worked out to have a table reservation and we ordered the all you can putt. We played 3 out of the 4 courses. We loved all the challenging holes. The decor was colorful. The food was amazing! I loved the Texas Tailpipes, Korean BBQ Bao Buns, and Atlanta Hot Sandwich. I will say the table reservation was interesting. They have a lot of tables labeled reserved but no one is sitting there. I tried to ask a waitress about my table and said you have to reserve one and ran away. She didn't even let me finish my sentence. I asked another waitress and she listened to me and found my reservation and apologized for the other waitress' behavior. The manager did come by to give us some great service so we ended the night on a good note. read more

It was a group of 10 of us on after the Astros game on a Sunday around 3:30 PM. We were able to book online easily. I'd recommend registering all the players ahead of checking in to save time when you get there. The place is fairly big so you're not overcrowded. It has different sections for you so everyone's not starting at the same putting hole. As always I feel somewhat pressured and rushed when putting because I don't like to make the people behind wait. We had some nice people behind us so it wasn't too bad by the time all of us made it through our rounds. It's self serve at the bar so someone will have to putt for you to not hold anyone up. Overall, it was a fun experience and I did fairly well for not being an avid putter. read more

Eh, it was alright. We found a Groupon for a group a 4 for one course and figured why not try it out. We got here 6pm on a Friday and it wasn't too busy. My first impression of this place was how dirty and messy it was. There were empty glasses/bottles everywhere. There were tons of employees, but none of them seemed to care. Each course was pretty short but we had fun. Our group of 4 took about 30 min to finish it. I think if the place was cleaner and the courses were longer I would have more positive things to say. If you can find a coupon then I would say it's worth it but paying original price for this dump is not worth it! read more

Love this place! Tons of fun and a great twist on mini golf. I don't know if I could ever go back to a normal mini golf course because this place is so cool and they are constantly running good deals on rounds. Ambiance is great, the staff are nice, and a great place to go even if you just want to kill time for an hour like me. You can play for just one round or make a whole day out of it and have so much fun either way. Their flatbread pizzas are surprisingly good as well! I just did one round and got 25th place on today's leaderboard! read more

We were walking around down town and stumbled upon this place. So glad we went it. It's only 14$ for 9 holes you can do all 32 but we just did the 9 holes. Got a bite and few drinks at bar. Food we delicious. Drinks were spot on. read more

I definitely recommend this place. The decor is awesome, the unique spin on traditional putt-putt is very cool. Just a bit of advice, the front two courses are basically the same as the back two. I realized this after paying for all 4 courses and after we played the first two courses. I tried to get a refund back since the other two were the same but they wouldn't work with me on that. Either way, this place is fun and the bar/seating area is really nice. read more

Thank you Hailie for the exceptional service and care. We'll definitely will be back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and even better hospitality. read more

Your typical mini golf course, just overrated Tried to book online however even though I was told by two different staff members I could just book for my two kids that's not the case. Online and at the kiosk an adult purchase is required (so I just paid for one adult and one junior and let my kids play) total was about $25 (for 9 holes) they have different courses and our course was chosen for us at booking. We got the emerald course. You dont get to pick which holes you want to play. As we waited for our time slot I ordered a cocktail which was about $17. Pricey and not that good of a drink. Honestly this place is underwhelming. read more

What a great activity for downtown Houston! Reservations were easy to do online and we showed up and were given our designated courses. We opted for 18 holes and there are 4 sections broken down in 9 holes each. Once you complete a section you can either take a break for food or drink and continue on to the next 9. Food and drinks were good! One of the cool things is that each putt hole has a screen to monitor progress and you can jump around to different holes if it's busy as long as you don't play hole 9 until your ready to be finished. Each hole on each section has some really unique and fun obstacles and it's fun for any age. For 18 holes and a break for food, it took about 2 hours. Again a great activity to change up the usual downtown vibe. read more

We had a great time at putt-putt golf and was surprised by how good the food was! Polite and helpful staff and good process for the flow of players as well as dining. Sorry I forgot to take pics of the food! I am a serious foodie and very discriminating but can recommend everything we had from the chicken & waffles flatbread, the Brussels sprouts (without bacon), the spicy fried Atlanta Hot chicken sandwich, Thai Fried Chicken to the Texas Tail Pipes! All was crispy fried to perfection ( I don't normally eat FIRED ANYTHING, but when in Rome! The good thing is there was no heavy, sleepy feeling after the food settled. Each dish was seasoned to perfection, sauces were so tasty too. All came out too quickly and we were hungry so no pics! Great beer on tap and my glass was so huge I had to take it with me to finish while we played! Yep there were stations at each hole where you can sit your drink! Wait, I failed to mention how much FUN and exciting the round of putting was. Each hole had a different theme and some good trivia questions you could shoot for to get extra points. Grown folk trivia that included some 90's rap data that I was surprised the kids knew! So it was super fun for all generations. read more

We came here on a Sunday afternoon to celebrate a birthday. Surprisingly, the playing areas had a steady stream of people however, it was not crowded. One thing that helps move the crowd through unlike similar places, is that you can play out of order of the "greens" because your ball is monitored. I appreciated that because groups of 4-5 can cause a delay for some of the games that require you to wait for the right moment to hit the ball. We enjoyed navigating through the course. I wish there was an explainer card next to each and also that the scoring was explained - somehow the worst golfer in our group seemed to be the winner with the most points, but overall it was a fun time. The seating area is HUGE - and there's a separate room overlooking McKinney that has a private bar and is likely great for private events. I was surprised by how empty it was in there, but grateful when it came time to eat after our game and our food came out within ten minutes of ordering. The food was great. Everyone enjoyed their dishes from the ATL, lettuce wraps, beignets and Pigtails. I ordered the pigtails and loved that it benefited the Houston Food Bank, but it was also a great "try." The eggroll shell was light but crisp, and the sauce paired perfectly with the mac and cheese. This is a great place to go grab a bite downtown if they have availability and you just need a quick bite. Whether greeting, serving or just standing around, the staff was extremely friendly and seemed to get along - not something you always see, so it was refreshing. Shoutout goes to Muna for taking our group photo to document our outing at the end of our game. read more

First time being there it was such a fun date night idea! I definitely recommend if you are going to play a game try and play atleast two games to keep the fun going , although there is other places you could go if you are looking for a more affordable price. A game for two it was $30 including tax The food and drinks were great and the service was amazing we had our server check on us ,very sweet and attentive. Definitely get out there and check it out lots of photography shots you can do there And as expected is downtown guys you will have to find a parking garage or somewhere where you don't get towed. Have fun! read more

First time here, after lots of social media pop ups. Location is in downtown, parking options are garage or street parking. We arrived early for which it was still pretty empty and we were able to enjoy. Once you arrive you check in upstairs, you have the option of purchasing a game or games. Once you purchase you choose which lane you will like. You are able to play multiple times as long as you don't play the last part. Overall place was kept clean, staff was nice and restaurant was good. read more

Puttshack - Houston - Mini Golf Near Me - Houston, Texas

I quite enjoyed Puttshack. I've been to Puttery, which is similar. Puttshack is located downtown off McKinney, so you can park at any of those downtown garages nearby. When I first walked in to meet my date, I saw a few HPD officers standing at the entrance downstairs. You walk up a long flight of stairs to where the games and bar area is. We got drinks and food at the bar first. The Thai chicken bites with peanut sauce was good, but the garlic parm fries weren't. It wasn't crispy enough, and the garlic flavor seemed a bit off. I ordered a French 75 cocktail which wasn't on the menu. They have a full service bar, so you can request what you want if you don't see anything on the menu that you like. We paid for one round at the kiosks, and someone brought us golf clubs. The place was pretty empty for a Monday night, and it had just rained. This was literally the same week as the derecho that tore through Houston three days later. We thought we could choose another colored area to play in since the ones in the back were empty, but the color was pre-chosen for us. It's more of an open concept compared to Puttery which has themed rooms. I like that the putt putt area is more spread out than Puttery. You have more room to swing and not be so close to others. I also enjoyed the variety of trivia questions and the look of each hole. It seems less challenging than Puttery's crazy obstacles. After a round, we sat at one of the many seating areas and watched an Astros game on TV. We stayed till closing when one of the officers approached us that they'd be closing soon. Haha. All in all, I thought this was a fun place to go for a date or with a group of friends. I definitely saw a few large groups getting hyped during their play. read more

I went to Puttshack with my boyfriend and we did the unlimited games deal for $20 (definitely worth it since a single game was $14). We ended up staying for about 4 hours, playing through all the holes and grabbing food while we were there. The place was packed, so there was a bit of a wait to get into some of the holes, but the setup made it fun. Each course felt like a mix between mini golf and little obstacle challenges. It's surprisingly high-tech, and that added to the experience. Overall, we had a really good time. read more

We planned our end of season intern event originally for July 8 but Hurricane Beryl caused other plans. Briana was my original sales rep and was great to work with. She even called me directly the day before to let me know the hurricane would force them to close. Amber helped me once I rescheduled. Rescheduling was super easy. We rescheduled for July 29. The place was easy to find and as soon as we got in, we were welcomed and taken to our area. Our group of 15 had a blast with good food and mini golf. We selected spread of onion dip, hummus, sliders with hamburger and chicken, jalapeno tator tots and chicken tenders. Food was plentiful and a big hit. It was served for 1 hour. Richard was our host and was very professional and attentive. I craved the tator tots the next morning, they were the best thing on the menu. Playing golf was easy, Ashton was our host and explained how to set up our teams and we were on our way. The golf balls were programmed to keep score and kept us on track with the course. After playing golf, we ordered a couple of desserts to share. Our event was over at 8pm. Parking was discounted at the garage for the first hour if there before 5pm. I found parking on the street. The only suggestion is to eat and then start playing. We lingered over the food so only had 1 hour to play golf. We rented out the entire course so could have played as many games as time allowed. Fun place and the price was pretty good. read more

You can park in the garage nearby because they do validation. Enter the building and walk up the stairs. Get a table if you want to eat or sit at the bar. The drinks are good and strong. The food isn't as awesome. Great place for a date because the putt putt is fun with a challenge. There are 9 holes and both side are pretty similar but not exactly the same. I would come back!!! read more

Putt putt was well managed and bookings were convenient. However the bar.... The bar ruined the entire experience. We tried to order 6 different drinks ranging from beers to mixed drinks, tried to order off the happy hour menu. Everything was out, they didn't have it. When we did finally find something that was in stock the wait was 20+ minutes for a drink. At ever putt hole people were leaving drinks behind completely full. Couple next to us at the bar left their drinks. Drinks were absolutely terrible. At 16+ a drink, extremely disappointed. read more

We have never been to Puttshack before and went for a friends birthday! It was so fun! The food was good, drinks were okay, and service was AWESOME. Once we were able to play, we had a blast. It's essentially 6 people at a time, and you go through the nine holes. Doesn't have to be in any order. Their technology is great and we had such a fun time! Vibe was awesome and music was great! read more

This was my first experience mini golfing! Parking in downtown area can be tricky, so if you plan on going to this location either plan ahead for parking or go mini golfing somewhere else if you don't want to deal with it. This location was so cute! They have many different courses. My friends and I went during Hispanic Heritage Month and it was really nice to see the theme through questions asked during the course. One of the parts in the course did have broken screens. The entrance was very crowded and courses can feel quite crowded while you're playing. Overall, for my first experience, I had a great time! There are many good food and drink options so great spot to come with friends! read more

Its located in downtown in the park shops so if you are nearby or work nearby then I think this is something you might consider. We went for lunch and it was surprisingly busy for lunch time - guessing other people had the same idea as the group from work. The food was ok which is fine since we mostly went to putt. They have 3 different courses that are 9 holes each so its not a huge time commitment and all the scoring is done electronically so it takes that out of your hands. Would be a fun HH place to include if you were checking out a places nearby. read more

Much better experience this time. We went wielding a birthday free game as well as a free text game. Jean took care of us as soon as we walked in. Personable and funny, he was the perfect welcoming! Would also like to note that it was the first time the manager was out and speaking to customers. He was also great! read more

Came for Father's Day with the grandkids. Everyone had a good time and we played three of the courses on the unlimited rate. We all had fun as it is a unique concept. Unfortunately it was very crowded and we had long waits at each tee. Food was pretty good but somewhat overpriced. Service was painfully slow and we had to flag down our server several times. Don't know that we would come back. read more

Visited with the family and we all had a blast! My teenage nephews were in heaven (highly recommend Puttshack for things to do in town with teens). The check-in process is easy, the price point is not bad at all, and the putting balls are interactive and are synced to each player. The holes are fun and imaginative with digitized scoreboards. My favorite holes were Putt-Man and the Drum set-/ pretty cute! While we didn't eat or drink here, I'll definitely return to fully partake. Parking (garage) is also validated for a deep discount. I paid $5 (and I believe the actual price was $13). Overall, I loved it and look forward to an adult-only return. Cheers! read more

A fun and unique twist on mini golf! I love that the system tracks your points for you, so there's no carrying around a scoreboard and keeping track or adding points. It's high-tech and there's no way in mixing up another person's ball or taking another person's turn. We did the Emerald course, and really enjoyed it. Each of the holes is unique in its own way, and has a fun little game in and of itself. One of the holes even has a trivia question built in!! it's it's a fun and colorful atmosphere. They have fun drinks to choose from as well as snacks. There's plenty of seating to hang out before or after. They also have a coat check at the entrance. parking is really limited so you'll either have to find street parking or find a ramp. read more

This place is super fun and takes a more creative take on mini gulf. 21 and up after 7pm on select days. Kids can go during the day. The bar service was decently fast considering we went on a Saturday. They have a restaurant there where u can eat and a full service bar. What I really like about this place is that they have multiple courses to choose from, all different and every hole is a different game where u can get bonus points to help anyone that isn't great at mini golf you now have an advantage . Types of game holes include, They have trivia hole, pinball hole, connect four hole, beer pong hole and so on. I gave this place a 4 start because while we were there we had to wait on maintenance to fix 2 of the 9 holes we were on. It seems since these holes are very tech heavy that they break down a lot and cause a wait until it's fixed. If they are able to work out the kinks of the holes then this place would be somewhere I would go often as I love games and love mini golf. Note: I really liked that u don't have to stay in order of the 9 holes. So if u start at hole 1 and there is a bunch of people at hole 2 u can just to hole 6 or whatever. U just can't play the last hole or you will lose your ball. read more

My friend and I stopped by on a Friday night. The courses looked quite crowded when we went but it was only because the course was so small. There were many different sections but you're only allowed one small section unless you pay for more holes. It was really cool to see the technology and the creativity of each hole but it went by very quickly. After playing a round, my friend and I stopped by the bar area to grab some food and drinks. We got a flatbread which was quite tasty. We also ordered a cali chicken sandwich and the chicken was unfortunately so dry. However, the fries it came with were delicious. Finally, we also tried their chorizo and cheese empanadas which were not good at all. I took one bite and spit it out. Definitely avoid these. All in all, a location that allows for an average date night. read more

Chose this place for a work event and was pleasantly surprised. We took a shuttle so I can't speak to parking, but it's downtown and I would expect to have to pay to park. The club has several different courses set up which are fun and challenging but not impossible. Food is pretty typical bar food but very tasty. Loved the bacon cheeseburger sliders and onion dip. The beignets with chocolate dipping sauce were fabulous. The group package we chose included a game of golf per person, pre-selected menu for 1.5hrs, premium bar with beer, wine, and pre-selected cocktails for about $65 per person. They also had some add-ons which we took advantage of such as the coconut shrimp platter. Staff was pleasant and accommodating. It was a fun team building event. read more

Went in for a Saturday date night, the staff were all teens who were just trying to shuffle people in. No attention to customers. We had issues checking in and had to speak with at least 4 people before we got the issue resolved, the putt greens themselves were cute fun games but dirty. For the price I would not return. We waited at every single hole and by the time it was done we were just over being there. read more

Vibes Fun and chill vibes.similar to a less crowded and mature Dave and busters lol. Somewhat colorful and there were designated eating and playing areas. Parking was not too bad since we went on Saturday and after parking validation within Putt Shack it was $5 dollars. Food Not bad for a entertainment area. I recimmend the crab and chips dip 7/10. Savory and had real crab flavor. Buffalo chicken dip 6/10. It was alright. Thai fried pipcorn chicken 3/10. Tasted like plain flavorless chicken even with the sauce. As for drinks I really liked the lemon drop because I don't like the alcohol taste. Service Took some time like 5 minutes for us to get our game resolved since we had an issue during the putt putt. Took from 5-10 minutes even though they had a stable crowd for our service for food and drinks. Could have definitely been better and efficient. Game 9/9 holes for party of 7 people. We were able to finish within 2 hours. Will be smoother if everyone within the party rsvp's from the link sent. After that there seemed to be 2 golfing areas (9 holes in each area). We played at amber. Got our golfing stick and designated golf ball and putted away. Very fun courses! Great with friends. I would come here again with friends to play but not for food. read more

Food 3/5 Golf 5/5 We sat at the bar and was served by Marquise. He was very attentive and checked on us frequently which www greatly appreciated. Unfortunately the food fell flat for me so I'm going to have to give tkem a 3/5 in this area. I ordered the OG burger work a side a garlic fries. I was under the impression that the burger was brisket style meat but it looked and tasted like regular hamburger meat. It also had a pretty charred after taste to it. I also ordered it to come out medium and it gave very much well done. I also felt like the fries were a tad bit soggy and nor super fresh. I didn't order any drinks But my friends enjoyed theirs. Now the actual Putt putt was pretty fun. We only played in the Amber course but I would definitely e back to try the other ones. I love how the games and trivia are interactive so it makes the competition more fun. read more

I had a very attentive bartender named Dylan. I also had a super fun time with the games and the food was delicious
