Puttshack Skokie To Be Second Chicago Venue

Puttshack Houston

Puttshack Skokie is to become the second Chicago 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.

Skokie will join the Puttshack list when opening in late 2024 at Westfield Old Orchard, an upscale shopping and entertainment destination in Illinois in the suburbs of Chicago.

The Puttshack venue spans more than 30,000 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 120.

It follows another announcement that Puttshack Baltimore and Puttshack Columbus will also open late in 2024 as two more new launches.

“Puttshack’s rapid growth and expansion of our one-of-a-kind mini-golf concept has been exciting to see, and we are thrilled to continue and take this next step toward opening in Skokie,” said Dave Diamond, President of Puttshack.

“Having lived in Evanston for 15 years, I frequently visited Old Orchard with my family and we are confident the Skokie outpost will serve as the ideal destination for Chicagoland’s residents and visitors to gather for family outings, date nights, and evenings out with friends and colleagues.”

Serge Khalimsky, senior general manager of Westfield Old Orchard, added: “We are so pleased that Puttshack is joining Old Orchard to further solidify our standing as the premier shopping, dining, and entertainment destination for Chicago and the surrounding area.

“As we continue to enhance our offering, adding Puttshack was a no-brainer, and we are happy to have this exciting experience join our collection of top fashion brands and dining concepts.”
