Puttshack to Open in the North Loop September 24

Opening on September 24, the 20,000+ square-foot venue marks Puttshack’s second Minnesota location, 19th U.S. venue, and 23rd globally.

Puttshack, an upscale, tech-infused mini golf experience, is expanding its Minnesota presence with a new location in North Loop. Building on the success of its Edina location, Puttshack Minneapolis brings the brand’s signature blend of competitive socializing, globally inspired dining, and vibrant nightlife to the city’s most energetic neighborhood. Just steps from Target Field, Target Center, and U.S. Bank Stadium, it will serve as the perfect pre- and post-game destination for Minnesota Twins, Timberwolves, and Vikings fans.

The new venue features three highly competitive, tech-driven nine-hole mini golf courses powered by Puttshack’s proprietary Trackaball™ technology, which keeps score automatically - eliminating paper, pencils, and cheating.

Puttshack Minneapolis will also debut one of the brand’s latest innovations: The Challenge Hole Suite Experience. This interactive mini golf suite offers a private, 90-minute gameplay experience with six unique mini golf games in one dedicated space. Minneapolis will feature two Challenge Hole suites available for group bookings, alongside additional semi-private areas and a private event space that can host up to 70 guests.

“We’re thrilled to build on the success of our Edina location and bring Puttshack directly into the city. The North Loop is the ideal neighborhood for our mix of tech-driven play, dining, and nightlife, and we can’t wait to welcome locals and visitors alike to experience Puttshack Minneapolis.”                                              Ryan Nowicki, COO of Puttshack

More Than Mini Golf: Elevated Food & Beverage

Puttshack pairs its high-energy gameplay with a chef-driven menu inspired by global flavors and crafted with dietary inclusivity in mind. Minneapolis guests can enjoy unique local offerings including:

Above, the Minnesota Tailpipe

  • Minnesota Tailpipe – a chicken & wild rice soup-inspired spring roll with poblano cheese dipping sauce. $1 from every Tailpipe sold will benefit HopeKids, supporting children with life-threatening medical conditions and their families.

  • Pierogi Flatbread – roasted garlic béchamel, sliced potato, roasted chicken, smoked Gouda, and mozzarella.

The culinary lineup also includes over 100 scratch-made recipes ranging from shareable bites to full entrées, with vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-friendly options.

Behind the bar, guests will find a playful cocktail menu featuring show-stopping drinks like the Spicy Pineapple Mezcal Margarita with a jalapeño popsicle, the smoke-filled Breaking Bad, and the passion-fruit-smoked Porn Star Martini.

Local craft beer favorites from Fulton Brewing, Surly Brewing Co., Inbound Brew Co., Pryes Brewing Company, and Modest Brewing Company will also be on tap, along with zero-proof cocktail options.
