Puttshack Brings High-Tech Mini Golf to Skokie’s Westfield Old Orchard
Puttshack, the innovative mini golf experience, is set to open a new location in Skokie, Illinois, on June 18. This venue will be their 21st location and second in the state. The 30,000 square foot space is part of the redevelopment of Westfield Old Orchard, transforming the shopping center into a vibrant lifestyle destination.
The Skokie location will feature four tech-driven, nine-hole mini golf courses, utilizing Puttshack’s unique Trackaball™ technology. This system accurately tracks scores, making the game more engaging. Guests can also enjoy two full-service bars and a private area for events.
A standout feature is the Challenge Hole suites, where groups can play mini golf in a semi-private space. Each suite allows for 90-minute sessions filled with various mini golf challenges, all while dining in comfort. Skokie will have five of these suites available for booking.
“We’re thrilled to expand in the Chicago area,” said Susan Walmesley, COO/CMO of Puttshack. “Chicago is our home, and we can’t wait to share our tech-infused experience with everyone in Skokie.”
Community engagement is also a focus for Puttshack. The new venue will support the Niles Township Food Pantry, donating $1 from each “Chicago Tailpipe” sold—spring rolls filled with Italian beef and giardiniera, served with horseradish and dipping au jus.
In a time when innovative entertainment experiences are booming, Puttshack’s opening taps into a rising trend. According to recent studies, the competitive socializing market—entertainment that combines gaming, food, and community—is expected to grow steadily, fueled by the popularity of social and interactive venues.
As Puttshack opens its doors, the energy in the Skokie area promises to rise, bringing a unique blend of fun and community spirit. This move not only enhances local entertainment options but also contributes to a growing trend of experiential venues that prioritize customer engagement.
Puttshack will be open from Monday to Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 12 a.m., and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. To learn more about Puttshack, visit their website.
