303 W Erie St, Ste 600, Chicago, IL, 60654, United States

Overview

Puttshack operates upscale, tech-driven mini golf venues that integrate a patented trackaball technology across each hole to enable automated scoring, bonus points and interactive games. The concept pairs its game experience with a global food and beverage offering. The company launched its first location in London in 2018 and is led by CEO Logan Powell. Puttshack currently operates two U.S. locations and four in the U.K., with new venues in Boston and Miami scheduled for fall 2022 and St. Louis planned for winter 2022. Additional U.S. locations — including Dallas, Denver, Houston, Nashville, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Scottsdale and a second Atlanta site — are anticipated in 2023, with other cities to be announced. The company raised growth capital to fund this expansion across the United States. Puttshack is a Chicago-based, tech-powered mini golf operator that pairs an upscale food and beverage offering with an interactive, point-scoring golf experience. The experience leverages trackaball technology to track balls and enable competitive scoring while guests play. The company was founded by Steve and Dave Jolliffe (original founders of Topgolf and World Golf Systems) and Adam Breeden (co-founder of Flight Club, Ace Bounce and All Star Lanes). Puttshack has its global headquarters in Chicago and a UK headquarters in London. The company recently opened its first U.S. location in Atlanta, plans to open Oak Brook, Ill. in Fall 2021 and Miami soon after, and has signed a lease in Nashville’s The Gulch with multiple additional U.S. locations expected in 2022. Puttshack raised $60M to support securing real estate and expanding its experience to more cities in the U.S., UK and internationally.
