Puttshack - Pittsburgh
Puttshack – Pittsburgh offers an exciting and safe environment with Role-Playing, STEM Activities, VR Games. A great place for kids and families. Families love visiting for its fun-filled experience.
On November 2, 2024, a guest and I decided to try out Puttshack in the Strip District, and it was putt-putt like I’ve never seen before! This incredible entertainment venue offers four nine-hole mini-golf courses (we played on the ruby course), a bar, restaurant, and a comfortable lounge area. The standout feature here is the technology embedded into the game. Each golf ball is assigned a unique electronic signature specific to the player, tracking everything from hits to hole-in-ones, points, and time. This smart ball technology takes the hassle out of manual scorekeeping, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the game—no cheating possible!
Each course presents unique challenges, and I managed to snag a few hole-in-ones, which added to the excitement. The atmosphere was vibrant, making for an electrifying experience that feels like the future of mini-golf.
One minor drawback was that, as with any tech-reliant experience, there were some glitches. On three occasions of the nine holes, our balls needed resetting or exchanging due to malfunctions. Although this delayed our game slightly, staff were on hand to help us resolve the issues.
After our competitive round, we relaxed in the lounge, enjoying a variety of sporting events displayed on the TVs above the bar. My final verdict? I highly recommend visiting Puttshack. It’s a perfect spot to spend the day challenging family and friends to a new era of mini-golf.
