Puttshack Columbus is to become the first Ohio venue when launching in late 2024 as part of the company’s fast-moving expansion in the United States.

Puttshack now has 10 venues in the United States following the launch of a Nashville facility, their first in Tennessee, in November 2023.

Columbus will join the Puttshack list when opening in late 2024 at The Galaxy at POLARIS in the Buckeye State of Ohio. POLARIS is a premier regional retail, dining, and entertainment destination ideally located north of downtown Columbus.

The Puttshack venue spans more than 25,000 square-foot space across two floors and features four highly engaging and competitive mini golf courses.

It will also have two bars, outdoor patio space and can cater for private hospitality and events for parties of up to 100.

It follows another announcement that Puttshack Baltimore will also open late in 2024 after the company signed a lease at Baltimore’s Harbor East.

“The Columbus area is a dynamic, thriving, sports-centric community with more than 50 colleges and universities, making it one of the largest concentrations of students and young adults in the U.S.,” said Joe Vrankin, Puttshack CEO.

“Establishing Puttshack in Columbus as part of our expansion plan in the Midwest was a no-brainer.

“Columbus is home to a large community of young people – many staying after graduation – and Puttshack’s tech-infused mini golf is a high-energy social activity with unrivaled globally inspired food and drink offerings. We’re excited to bring competitive socializing to central Ohio.”

Franz Geiger, Managing Director at NP Limited Partnership, which is developing the location, added: “Our goal with The Galaxy at POLARIS is to fill our development with truly unique and desirable destinations, and Puttshack certainly fits that description.

“We have ambitious plans to become the go-to location in the Columbus area for all things entertainment. Puttshack will absolutely help us reach those goals.”

Puttshack Columbus Location

Puttshack Columbus will be located at 2116 Ikea Way at POLARIS north of Downtown Columbus and will be easily accessible from Interstate 71.

It will be the first venue in Ohio when it opens in late 2024.
