If you are looking for an activity on your next date night in Dallas that sparks a little friendly competition, and you haven’t tried Mini Golf, what are you waiting for? It seems simple enough: get the ball in the hole with the least tries possible using the putt. At first, it doesn’t seem like much, but then obstacles start getting away and you combine that with tricky slopes, sand, water, and other distractions, and all of a sudden a lot of technology is involved.
For a while, it used to be primarily played outdoors, but Dallas has seen a sudden increase in indoor mini-golf spots. And although Puttery is 30-40 minutes in The Colony at Grandscape, it is worth looking into for a little putt-putt action.
About Puttery
Puttery is an immersive, adults-only (21+) mini golf featuring craft cocktails, and upscale eats. They have several locations across the U.S., two of them being in Texas (with the other being in Houston). However, each location has a unique course, with a few familiar favorites.
The Mini Golf Courses
The first thing you will notice when you get ready to play is that these aren’t your regular mini-golf courses! No windmills or pencils here. No, we are talking about dinosaurs and galaxies, optical illusions, and libraries.
Puttery has several courses to choose from, with some being unique to that location! Fun Fact: To immerse yourself more into the game, they have crafted cocktails exclusively for each course.
The Food and Drinks
Listen, we know that food is a key part of every date night and it sure seems like Puttery is aware of that too. For apps, you can’t go wrong with their Charcuterie Board with three seasonal meats and cheeses, marinated olives, grilled asparagus, salted pecans, roasted garlic jam & toasted artisan bread. If you are looking for an app but are leaning toward the savory side: Fire Shrimp might be more up your alley.
Now for something heavier, if you are wanting a salty & sweet combo their Sausage & Hot Honey Pizza is the way to go with ricotta, mozzarella, spicy soppressata, sausage, pecorino & hot honey.
Oh and of course, if you are going to get yourself a boozy drink they have a nice selection to choose from but we went with the Good Sound & Beach Bound and there were no regrets!
The Pricing
The pricing for Puttery is $18 per person, per course. How long each round takes will vary depending on the course and group size though you can expect it to take 30 to 45 minutes. You can reserve a time window online to secure your spot.
The Parking
The Puttery in The Colony, TX is part of Grandscape and they have ample free self-parking options.
The Summary
Puttery brings all the things you love about mini golf, but with unique courses that add an extra splash of excitement. Since it is an indoor activity, you don’t have to worry about being outside in the Texas summer heat, and even better for a winter date idea or a rainy day. This is a 21+ spot so if you like to include kids in your night out then you might need to call a friend or a sitter.
Although Grandscape has plenty of food options all around, Puttery’s has plenty of options to enjoy while there. If you live in suburbs like Frisco and The Colony, or if you like in the Dallas area but don’t mind a 30-minute out, it deserves being looked into for a putt-putt date night activity.
