A new interactive mini-golf venue in Houston is turning putt-putt into a party.

Puttery Houston opened Friday, September 16, at 1818 Washington Avenue in Sawyer Yards, and is a new take on a night out with three nine-hole courses, pizza for every taste, and well-mixed cocktails — no watery drinks here.

This two-story mini-golf venue also has plenty of non-golf entertainment, including a cozy upstairs lounge, rotating DJs, and live music.

The Puttery is an optimal place to play a game of mini-golf with a drink in hand or imbibe in its swanky lounge.

For $18 per person, attendees can explore Puttery’s different courses. The Lodge’s room channels a Colorado getaway, with ski lifts for photo ops, a mock fireplace, and the backdrop of the snowy Rocky Mountains.

The Conservatory offers a desert-inspired scene, complete with redwoods, cacti, and cherry blossoms, while the Library course is geared toward book lovers, with wall-to-wall shelves of books, a dimetrodon figure, a world globe, and portraits.
