Finding warm, indoor activities for your family during the winter months in Nashville can sometimes be a challenge. Look no further, because Puttshack Nashville is the ultimate family friendly indoor mini golf experience. My husband and I, along with our two kids (3- year-old daughter and 8-year-old son) had a blast there last week.
Puttshack Nashville
Kylie Ebbutt’s 8-year-old prepares to take his turn.
Puttshack has four, nine-hole mini golf courses that each have their own twist on the classic game. Everything is run off of technology, which means no paper scoring; everything is synched through each player’s ball. The screen on each hole will guide you through the game. Some holes offer “supertubes” for bonus points, but beware the “hazard tubes” which will take away points.
We loved how interactive and unique each hole was. One of the holes made you putt across a drum set, another was set up like a skee ball arcade game. My son’s favorite was the trivia hole and based on what you thought the answer was, is which direction you would make your putt. My 3-year-old was able to keep up with us and she loved seeing her name up on the screen.
Friendly and Fun
One of the biggest things that stood out however, was the friendliness of the staff. They did an excellent job explaining the rules of the game to our kids. The manager came and checked in on us and several other staff stopped to watch the kids putt and cheer them on. There were servers that took drink orders and brought them while we played. Everyone seemed truly cheerful.

Monday through Thursday your second round is 50 percent off, so we chose to do one more round before dinner. The menu selection was not overwhelming, but had plenty of distinct options to choose from as well as a separate menu for the kids. The food was delicious and the dessert was even better! (The four of us split a gigantic ice cream sundae.)
Overall this was a great place for a family outing. It was not overly priced, however if you don’t luck out on free street parking you will have to pay for parking in a nearby garage. We visited early enough on a weeknight that it was not crowded. It did get pretty busy later in the evening and I am sure that on a weekend it would be packed. We loved our visit and will definitely be returning with friends and family.
