Puttshack - Houston

“Fun, high-tech mini-golf with auto scoring and a great night-out vibe. Perfect for dates or groups, with good drinks and surprisingly solid food. Can get crowded during peak hours, playtime feels a bit short, and it's on the pricey side (plus paid parking). Overall, a memorable experience if you go for the vibe, not just the golf.”

“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.”

“The overall concept is pretty cool. Went with a group of 10. Even with that, the entire mini golf game from start to finish took me maybe 10 minutes…underwhelming IMO. We were in the amber course. Food and service: The food was good but nothing particularly stood out. Our server was amazing (wish I remembered her name). The greeter was a different story. She was rude in a very interesting way. Very curt and acted like questions were stupid. She was generally polite to me but it uncomfortable especially with the rest of my party. Ambience: It was a Thursday night so it wasn’t too packed. I enjoyed the vibe, not too loud.”

“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.”
