Puttshack mini-golf opens in RiNo with cool vibes, nostalgia

Remember going to the ocean for summer vacation and after you got burned sufficiently at the beach you’d go play mini golf at that crappy little beat-up course with fake pirates shouting “AVAST, me hearties” through tinny speakers and little waterfalls that would sweep your ball away?

This ain’t that.

Puttshack — a tech-infused, mini-golf facility with a bar and restaurant — opens at 4 p.m. on Friday, May 26, in the RiNo neighborhood. It’s got four separate, nine-hole courses, two of which are ADA-compliant. The national chain — with six other locations around the country, including Austin and Boston — was started by the guys behind Top Golf (and look what a boondoggle that turned out to be).
