Out-of-this-world mini golf with inventive cocktails, great food & a vibrant bar at Urban Putt

I only had a drink and walked around because the wait to play golf was 4 hours! You read correctly.. 4 hours. That tells you how popular it is already and it just opened. Very nice bar area with high ceilings. Also a second bar upstairs which was closed when I went up there but cool because you can see down into a few of the golf holes. Walked through a few golf holes and it looks like they invested a lot for a high quality experience. Can’t wait till they create a reservation system, perhaps in the summer. Otherwise it’s first come, first serve… hence a 4 hour wait! August 2024 update: OK got to play this time. It's pretty fun but takes quite a long time to wait for groups ahead of you. And some of the holes lack instructions. Like the haunted hole took a long time to figure out. And the hole where the ball is carried up a spiral thing, rolls down toward the hole... it doesn't help any more than going an easier route. And the pachinko hole... it's not clear what you should avoid or which hole is better. But still, great get-together fun. Good cocktails, beers, wines, and mock-tails.

Urban Putt has a fantastic vibe and is a great spot for mini-golf with friends or family. The golfing experience itself was excellent—creative, well-maintained courses, and a fun atmosphere overall. The bartender was friendly, and the drinks were solid. The food was decent, not amazing but good enough for the setting. However, the service left a lot to be desired. The staff didn’t seem particularly attentive or proactive. For example, when I arrived with a group of 7, I was sent to two different locations multiple times just to confirm our reservation. It felt like the staff was standing around waiting to be asked for help rather than taking initiative to assist customers. Overall, the experience was enjoyable because of the great mini-golf and lively atmosphere, but better customer service would elevate the experience.

This mini golf spot is the newest addition to downtown San Jose. They don’t take reservations and we were told 4hr wait on Saturday night, so recommend trying on less busy weekdays. Inside is gorgeous, modern and sleek and drinks/food menu is pretty solid too. I love how much effort they put in for mini golf course, good ood date night idea and social gathering. Golf was 14 bucks pp if I remember correctly

I've been to the old S.F location and that was great. SJ location is no different. very fun mini putt, fun themes and unique ways to play mini putt. Food is pretty good, we had wings (Korean & honey truffle) honey truffle had great flavor. tater totchos. really good, calamari was ok, we didn't like the sauce it came with. basket of fries truffle Parmesan it was ok. this place is way better than tipsy putt Sunnyvale. better for and more fun mini putt. we got here at opening on. Saturday, was dead when we walked in but got busy rather quickly. food and drinks are a bit on the expensive side. 2 holes were under construction, so they only had 16 holes, & the duck hunt hole (gun was under construction) so you had to throw the ball by hand. they did discount mini putt cause of the missing holes though.

This is a really cool venue, went there opening night (last night) and mini golf was fun, lots of helpful staff, and food looked good, though we didn't eat it. Prices for food and drinks are expensive, and golf course has some glitches, but overall probably the most creative/cool mini golf course I've ever seen. Super creative, super local & relevant to San Jose. A must see!! June 2024 update: Glitches are all fixed! The course is amazing & super fun!!
