COLUMBUS, Ohio — (April 28, 2026) – Puttshack, the leading social entertainment concept reimagining mini golf and dining, is expanding its national footprint with a new location in Columbus. Opening Wednesday, May 27, 2026, the venue will bring the brand’s signature blend of competitive socializing, tech-infused mini golf and craveable dining options to the new Polaris area at 8870 Galaxy Way.
The 12,529 square-foot venue will feature two tech-driven nine-hole mini golf courses, offering 18 unique holes. It will also offer three Challenge Holes, Puttshack’s private suites equipped with competitive, rotating mini golf games and a dedicated server.
Powered by Puttshack’s proprietary Trackaball™ technology, the experience automatically keeps score, eliminating the need for paper and pencils while delivering a seamless, interactive game. The Columbus location is designed as a vibrant social hub, ideal for everything from date nights and group outings to corporate events and celebrations.
“Columbus continues to grow as a destination for dining and entertainment, making it a natural fit for Puttshack,” said David Bagley, Puttshack CEO. “As our 20th U.S. location, and 24th global location overall, this opening marks an exciting milestone for the brand. We’re thrilled to introduce our tech-driven mini golf experience and new menu to the community, fostering a space where guests can come together to play, dine and connect.”
