“Puttshack is the world’s only high-tech miniature golf,” said Joe Vrankin, CEO of Puttshack, to ABC15 in an interview. “[The] thing we were able to do with the technology [has] completely changed the way people play miniature golf which hadn’t changed in over 100 years. The way we’ve been able to do that is with the technology that’s in the golf ball, it keeps score for you automatically.”

“You’re going to be able to come in, register online here at one of our kiosks- set you up for a tee time,” said Joe Romanosky, director of operations, to ABC15. “You’ll be able to play, dine or both.”

Inside the facility you’re not going to see the usual mini golf themed holes that you probably grew up playing- like the windmills and the animal/cartoon ones.

The Scottsdale Puttshack location has four course with 9 holes each. The courses are called: Amber, Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire.

Featured here is the 'Beer Pong" hole and next to it is an arcade themed hole. — Featured here is the ‘Beer Pong” hole and next to it is an arcade themed hole.

“It’s a custom-made tech that we do that have different themes associated to them-anywhere from beer pong to a sitting duck that we have to a half-pipe that’s included with our course; so a lot of different variations of these holes for you to enjoy,” said Romanosky.

The courses are ‘high-tech,’ meaning you’ll won’t have to write down who is wining- the ball you will track the player’s score.

Players will be able to see their score on a “video screen” that’s located in close proximity to the hole they’re playing at.

Small tables are positioned next to the players' game area so they can place their belonging/ drinks there. — Small tables are positioned next to the players’ game area so they can place their belonging/ drinks there.

The indoor destination is open for everyone to play, but after 8 p.m., it’s for those who are 21 and over.

“We have DJs Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and they’ll start again at 4 p.m. and then you’ll be able to enjoy it all the way until the late hours,” shared Romanosky with ABC15.

Views from the second floor: this level also counts with a bar and patio.

A dining experience will also be a key component of the business, and drinks will be served on the courses too. Private dining options are available on the second floor. Reservations are highly recommended to play and to dine.
