For being so new, it's pretty run down. The putt-putt course has lumpy carpet, unmarked areas, and just overall underwhelming. Think of a college house party, where someone said, "hey let's build a putt-putt course in the basement."
For the bar area: one employee had her two children under the age of 6 watching tablets on a sofa (unattended) on a Friday night from 7-10 while we were there. Bartenders were slow, and continuously forgot drink orders. Most of the time they were just hanging out w/ their friends at the bar. My first order took 15 minutes to make one martini and one neat whiskey. I tried to order off their menu, and was told they were out or didn't have those specials, someone didn't update the menu.
The next time, I watched the bartender give out free drinks to his friends (and sure that's fine I get it), but when I closed out he had already selected my tip of 20%. I didn't even get a choice. If there's a mandatory tip, you need to clearly inform your customers. They also charged us 20% tip for the putt-putt on a different tab.
All in all, I will not be back, and hope you save yourself time and have fun at any other establishment in town.

Went here cause the reviews said would be great for a date night. It was the exact opposite of what expectations were set online.
I understand health regulations forced the kitchen to close. But the service was completely lackluster at the bar, and behind the counter for service to golf. It seemed like the staff was just hanging out and didn’t care for any of their guests. The golf course was not even worth the visit. It was extremely short and poorly maintained with carpet coming up on every hole. It would infuriate me to have to wait behind groups to play such a short course. Would not recommend to anyone

Well designed establishment beautiful interior with optional seating. Great place for couples and friends to visit hangout and play miniature golf offer good drinks options and appetizers. Very nice service. Definitely will revisit because the atmosphere is so nice with good music 🎶.
Only feedback I have is the limited parking, the small space for golfing, we felt rushed because the other couple (group of friends) were rushing through the game and made us rush as well. It’s only 9 holes so it’s pretty quick but some people would like to enjoy the moment. 😌

This is a great place to go if you're looking for a challenging twist on the classic game of miniature golf! It contains one 9-hole course, and the neat thing about it is that at the beginning, you can choose your golf ball color by putting a special token inside what looks like a gumball machine! Every hole here is also a par two, so come here if you're really down for a challenge!
I didn't have a chance to get any of the food from their menu, so I'd say a return visit is in order.
Despite the challenging holes, I kind of found the course to have an over-reliance on ricocheting your ball to get a good shot, and the course itself just seemed kind of bland and lacking in a theme if you ask me.
But I'd still highly recommend this place!

This place was ok. Drinks were very expensive and service was ok. We went on a very sunny 70 degree day in March and all of the doors and AC was off. It was very hot inside especially with no air moving. We had a group of 6 and had to let several groups of 2 play ahead of us because we moved slower and that was not an issue. The holes were fun and challenging. The place is interesting. I will say it does not take long to get through the holes so if you are not have drinks and food, you might want to do something else.
Stroke is an urban bar and indoor Mini-golf that is Really Fun, modern-groovy stylized and a hoot, but slightly pricey.
But where else are you going to get 9 holes of golf 10 blocks from down town. The mini-golf course is one of a kind, hand-made and quality design.
Some of the uniquely designed holes have hole-in-one opportunities, but you must be ninja golfer!
Bar, drinks and decor experience are near mod, upscale-ish and inviting.
Welcoming, fun and comfort were the feelings had with our friends... And You gotta bring your friends here at least once for some good fun.
Good times. Good drinks. good friends.

Putt Putt has been elevated! Absolutely LOVED the vibe and atmosphere of this indoor establishment which made for the perfect night out with my friend!
The Good: I can’t stress enough how much I loved the vibe. It’s like something out of a David Lynch film. Mid century modern meets Florida - I love it. All workers were super friendly from the waiter who brought out pregame food/drinks to the front desk girl checking us in for our tee time. I also loved that, after a certain time (7? 8? I can’t remember) this becomes an adults only place so people can come and have some adult time without kids which you don’t find at other mini golf places. The fact that this place is indoors means you can come at any time; rain or shine!
The Meh: prices were a bit steep for a short game of golf. I forget how many holes there are but it’s like half the length of a traditional mini golf course. While the apps and drinks we got were decent, as another reviewer mentioned, it seemed pricey for the lack of alcohol in the cocktail I got (3 drinks and no buzz?). I guess they also check on you and you can order drinks while you’re playing but no one approached us until we were on our last hole. That’s ok, though - I know many businesses are struggling with being short staffed.
The Bad: nothing really BAD. I will definitely be back!

Very cute place to hang out for a drink and convo. The small plates were good. But the mini golf course is so tiny, can get thru it within just a few min if you go before the crowd arrives. I love the old school decor of the place. It’s definitely a vibe.
