PopStroke, the wildly popular golf-entertainment brand backed by Tiger Woods and TaylorMade, is set to open its most elaborate location yet in Orlando. While it’s already known for elevating the putt-putt experience with outdoor dining and app-based scoring, the upcoming flagship is set to feature two 18-hole courses, waterfalls, a cave and a tank housing sharks and stingrays!
Scheduled to open on International Drive this December, it’s perfect for those of us looking for a weekend road trip. And based off of that description, it’s clear that this concept is taking your average mini golf into uncharted waters… literally. Right in the middle of your game, you’ll be led straight through a cave and as you line up your shot, you’ll come face-to-face with a tank housing six sharks and stingrays.
What to expect at the Orlando location
While the shark cave is undeniably a highlight, this two-story complex has tons more to offer the mini golf experience. A sprawling river system will flow throughout, beneath pedestrian bridges and cascade over waterfalls that reach up to 13 feet high. One course will rise in elevation over the course of play, with holes built on top of the venue’s largest waterfall.
Each hole will also feature misters, shade trees and fans to help players survive the humidity, along with digital scoreboards and hole-in-one cameras. And just like all other locations, you can order craft beers and cocktails directly through an app and a server will deliver them to you anywhere on the greens.
After your round, you can head up to the facility’s rooftop terrace overlooking the courses, or grab a table at BarTenders Eatery, a chef-driven restaurant with five distinct bars on-site. There will also be indoor and outdoor dining, a beer garden, five bars and an ice cream parlor, in addition to a children’s playground.
Take a look at what the future has in store for the Orlando flagship below:
