Puttshack, the pioneer of upscale, technology-enhanced mini golf, debuted its 21st venue in Skokie, Illinois, this past Wednesday. Opening at the revamped Westfield Old Orchard, this marks its second Illinois location and promises an immersive blend of gaming, dining, and socializing.
Tech-powered mini golf
According to the press release, the Skokie location will feature four competitive nine-hole courses enhanced by the proprietary Trackaball technology, which tracks scores seamlessly. Additionally, the space boasts two full-service bars and five Challenge Hole suites, offering a unique 90-minute interactive gameplay and dining experience in a semi-private setting. The Skokie location will be the second one ever to feature these Challenge Holes.
Culinary attractions
Puttshack Skokie pairs entertainment with a globally inspired menu. Favorites like Chicago Tailpipes—Italian beef-filled spring rolls—honor local flavors, the press release states. Craft beverages include selections from local breweries like Sketchbook Brewing and Goose Island Beer Co. Notably, the announcement boasts that Puttshack will donate $1 to the Niles Township Food Pantry for each Tailpipe sold, emphasizing its commitment to community support.
“We’re incredibly excited to continue our growth in the Chicagoland area with the opening of Puttshack Skokie,” said Susan Walmesley, COO/CMO of Puttshack in the company’s press release. “Chicago isn’t just where our headquarters are based—it’s a city we’re deeply connected to. We love the energy, the people, and the innovation that defines this region. Expanding in our home market is always special, and we can’t wait to bring our signature tech-infused experience to Skokie.”
Reservations for games and dining at Puttshack Skokie opened on the first week of June, before the official public opening on Wednesday, June 18. More information about booking private events can be found at Puttshack's website.
