Exciting News for Orlando: PopStroke Miniature Golf Complex Set to Open in 2026!
Orlando is buzzing with excitement as plans for the new PopStroke miniature golf, dining, and entertainment complex take shape! Backed by golf legend Tiger Woods and entrepreneur Greg Bartoli, this dynamic facility will take over a former retail center located at 8580 International Drive. That’s just across from the always-fun Pirate’s Cove Adventure Golf, making this spot an all-star destination for family fun.
Construction in Progress
The countdown is officially on! Initially set for a 2025 opening, eager fans of mini golf and great food will now have to wait until 2026 for the grand reveal. But, while there’s a little more time, the anticipation is building for what will be a remarkable experience.
What’s Inside?
Once completed, the five-acre PopStroke complex will boast not one, but two 18-hole mini golf courses that promise to test your skills, whether you’re a casual player or a competitive golfer. It’s designed to provide a unique experience, complete with custom-designed courses that will challenge players of all ages.
And it’s not just about the golf! This complex will feature a whopping 17,852-square-foot main restaurant, along with a smaller 7,300-square-foot Dune Dog hot dog restaurant, which originally hails from Jupiter, Florida. Imagine enjoying a delicious meal after an exciting round of golf!
More Than Just Mini Golf
What sets PopStroke apart? Well, for starters, getting a snack or beverage during your game will be as easy as pie. Players can use a dedicated mobile app to order drinks right from the course, so you won’t have to pause your game too often.
If you need to cool off after putting in some work on the greens, there will be sports bars and restaurants on-site, allowing guests to kick back and enjoy the atmosphere. There have even been talks of including ice cream parlors and giant lawn games among other entertainment options, making it a place where fun and relaxation go hand in hand.
The PopStroke Expansion
This Orlando location isn’t just a one-off; the PopStroke concept is really taking flight, with around 20 locations currently across the United States and even more in the works. The next site to debut in Central Florida will be at the Hamlin town center in Horizon West, marking its second spot in the area and the ninth in the state.
Each new venue aims to bring something special for visitors of all ages. Kids can look forward to a playground, while adults can dig into 24 flavors of premium ice cream. It’s all about catering to families and friends, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy!
Innovative and Family-Friendly
In addition to the fun courses and delicious food, future upgrades may involve high-tech chips in golf balls for easy scorekeeping as well as cameras on each hole to capture those spectacular hole-in-one moments. It’s evident that PopStroke is committed to evolving the miniature golf experience while remaining accessible and engaging for families.
With more venues opening across states such as Arizona, Las Vegas, Texas, and Tennessee, PopStroke is definitely a name you’re going to be hearing more often. The first Orlando site opened in Waterford Lakes, and if you’re excited about this fun addition to International Drive, you’re not alone! Orlando is ready for some serious miniature golf action, delicious food, and unforgettable memories.
