Huge, Upscale Mini Golf Course Opening Next Month In North Shore Mall

SKOKIE, IL — Puttshack, the world's first and only upscale, tech-infused mini golf experience, is set to open next month at Westfield Old Orchard shopping center in Skokie.

The Skokie location marks Puttshack's second venue in Illinois and will offer players globally inspired food and beverage starting June 18. The new 30,000 square foot facility is taking over the former Lord & Taylor space as part of Westfield'd ongoing redevelopment.

“Puttshack is an exciting and welcome addition to the Westfield Old Orchard family,” said Maegen Akers, General Manager of Westfield Old Orchard. “We’re thrilled to introduce a dynamic, interactive attraction that elevates the overall guest experience. As the center continues to evolve into a vibrant hub for living, working and playing, Puttshack adds a whole new level of energy and engagement for the community and visitors to enjoy.”

Puttshack will bring four highly competitive, tech-driven nine-hole mini golf courses that are powered by the brand's proprietary Trackaball technology, which keeps track of your score. The Skokie venue will also be the second to feature Puttshack's Challenge Hole suites, a personal and private playing experience for groups.

The space will have two full-service bars and a private event space. The menu pays tribute to a beloved Chicago flavor with its Chicago Tailpipes, fried spring rolls filled with Italian beef and giardiniera served with horseradish and au jus.

“We’re incredibly excited to continue our growth in the Chicagoland area with the opening of Puttshack Skokie,” said Susan Walmesley, COO/CMO of Puttshack. “Chicago isn’t just where our headquarters are based—it’s a city we’re deeply connected to. We love the energy, the people, and the
innovation that defines this region. Expanding in our home market is always special, and we can’t wait to bring our signature tech-infused experience to Skokie.”

Puttshack will be open starting at 4 p.m. on June 18 and will be open Monday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 12 a.m., and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Guests can begin to book game and dining reservations starting June 4.
