According to a recent press release, Puttshack mini golf experience is opening its first Ohio location next year at the Galaxy Polaris, at 2116 Ikea Way. The 25,000 square foot space is currently slated to open in late 2024, and will encompass two floors as well as an outdoor patio.
In addition to mini golf, the venue will also feature Puttshack’s signature craft cocktails and globally inspired dishes. The menu varies slightly by location and features items like flatbread pizzas, sandwiches and appetizers.
Currently, there are nine Puttshack locations open across the country, with plans to open 10 more locations in cities across the U.S., as well as five locations currently open in the UK.
“The Columbus area is a dynamic, thriving, sports-centric community with more than 50 colleges and universities, making it one of the largest concentrations of students and young adults in the U.S.,” Puttshack CEO Joe Vrankin said in the press release. “Establishing Puttshack in Columbus as part of our expansion plan in the Midwest was a no-brainer. Columbus is home to a large community of young people – many staying after graduation – and Puttshack’s tech-infused mini golf is a high-energy social activity with unrivaled globally inspired food and drink offerings. We’re excited to bring competitive socializing to central Ohio.”
According to information on its website, Puttshack is the world’s first and only upscale tech-infused mini golf experience. The company uses patented technology throughout the entire game, like automated scoring and interactive games at each hole. Some of the most popular holes include giant beer pong, air hockey, roulette, connect four and a true/false hole.
