the putt putt game

hole presents a question to a player at the start of their turn, then the player putts toward the path labeled true or false in response to the question. Points are gained or lost for the respective correct or incorrect answers.

Unlike most minigolf locations, the highest score wins on these courses. Putters earn points depending on shots per hole, such as 50 points for a hole in one, 40 points for a hole in two and so on. One can lose points from special features on the green such as shortcuts called Supertubes and setbacks called Hazard Traps.

Instead of putting directly to the last hole, usually in more than one stroke, one would aim for the Supertube, a difficulty- positioned hole in the middle of the course that assures a player a hole in one. This may be harder to get to, but if reached it directs the ball to the end hole.

These shortcuts are usually blocked by Hazard Traps, holes that add an element of risk to aiming for a Supertube. They will sabotage a game if putted into by puting the ball through a tunnel, landing it farther from the end hole and losing the player points.

“My favorite part about Puttshack is the score being calculated for you and that you aren’t rushed through the course since it is only nine holes,” customer Ally said.

Whether before, during or after a round of putt putt, players can enjoy globally inspired cuisine and drinks on the course or in the lounge. These menu items include but not limited to falafel cakes, buffalo chicken dip, margherita flatbreads and chicken sandwiches all ranging from $10 to $19.

Neon lights and television screens hung around the location give the courses an eyecatching ambiance completed with a DJ that creates an environment catered to youthful clientele as opposed to the more mundane atmosphere of traditional minigolf.
