PopStroke's most elaborate miniature golf ever built is opening this December on International Drive, featuring two custom 18-hole courses, 13-foot waterfalls, and a cave where guests putt past six live sharks. A river system threads the entire property.
Tiger Woods, co-designer and equity partner, backed the concept alongside TaylorMade. Founder Greg Bartoli has grown PopStroke past 20 venues nationwide by fusing putting with chef-driven dining and bars.
The flagship lands on Orlando's busiest tourist corridor, next to the Orange County Convention Center, one of the busiest convention facilities in the country. Yahoo reports the roughly $9.5 million build is PopStroke's largest financial commitment to date, with the 16,229-square-foot structure carrying the biggest outdoor course footprint in the system.
A river winds through the entire property, sliding beneath pedestrian bridges and spilling over waterfalls that reach 13 feet. One of the two courses climbs in elevation as play unfolds, with holes built directly on top of the property's largest waterfall. Mini waterfalls surface across both layouts.
The centerpiece is a cave at the middle of the property, where players step inside and putt directly past a tank housing six sharks and stingrays, a hole engineered less like mini golf and more like a theme park set piece.
The two-story venue wraps the courses in BarTenders Eatery, a chef-driven restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining. An ice cream parlor and five bars fill out the program, including a walk-up bar on the course itself. A rooftop terrace overlooks the greens. A beer garden and children's playground round out the grounds, and the PopStroke app handles food and drink orders with delivery to any spot on the course mid-round.
Doors open in December, one month before the 2027 PGA Show brings the golf industry to Orlando.
