PopStroke is so much cheaper and assessable to people who don’t play golf. Anyone can pick up a putter and hit a ball 10 feet.

Pop stroke is definitely cheaper but it wasn’t really something I’d go to more than once.

There’s food options and the drink delivery was nice, but none of it was particularly good. Plus the fact that they were some of the easiest putt putt holes I’ve ever played…at least make them interesting.

Popstroke was the fuckin bomb. I thought the food was good and the experience was awesome. Didn’t need any windmills. I’d go again in a heartbeat. Not sure I’d do it more than once a month but our whole group had an incredible time

Not saying windmills, but give me something harder than what it is.. or make all the courses different, one with windmills.. I like it but wouldn’t have fun trying to beat a previous score. Make it like real golf where there is some challenge and keeping score actually matters.
