Urban Putt San Jose

★ 4

Really like the indoor design. Nice bar. Very cool and fun joint for kids and adults. Parking was a challenge as it's located downtown SJ. The food was decent. Drinks were yummy. The indoor golf pathways and interaction were amazingly fun as each area has a unique theme. From haunted house to an interactive hand maze, to a racing pinball-machine like maze, and more. Different from any other golfing areas. The path can be a bit confusing, overwhelming, and overcrowded. It also has an upstairs game/bar areal. I recommend going early on weekdays. Less crowded so you can enjoy it with no rush.

Honestly the coolest place in downtown SJ aside from Mini Bar Come to this place to hangout, eat, golf, or play games I hope this place stays around. Great downtown SJ spot!

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!!

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.

Summary: drinks and imaginative mini golf, a pretty good combo. A few bugs to work out on the course and pricey drinks keep this a 4 out of 5. I went to the old and now closed San Francisco Urban Putt just before they closed in January. And have been waiting for the San Jose location to open, and waiting… We went on there on a Wednesday of their first week open. At 5 it was deserted. It got a bit busier later, but far from crowded. They have a full bar and some fancy “smoke bubble” drinks and a decent selection of draft beers. $12 for a draft and $18 for a cocktail seemed a tad pricey. Get a smoke bubble drink, it don’t cost no more. Like the old SF Urban Putt, this course uses local features to theme many of the holes. There’s the Mountain View amphitheater, the Winchester Mystery House and Mount Hamilton. The course also had several features from the old SF venue, including the round golf ball maze, the video game and Nemo submarine. It’s visually a great course, from an actual gameplay it’s a mixed bag. I’ll write some of this off as kinks to be worked out in first few weeks, but a couple of holes weren’t open, a couple others got stuck balls that employee couldn’t fix. They hung “coming soon” signs behind us and gave us new balls to play through. I hope they get them all tuned up and it’ll be a fine course. Update: went there again in early August and all 18 holes were operational. We had one stuck ball on Day of the Dead hole, but staff is very helpful and we quickly proceeded. Now a 5 star experience!

Great atmosphere, mini golf, and food. Probably the most interesting set of mini golf courses I’ve played on. Was recently here for an event and everyone had a great time. The staff were helpful on all recommendations and getting us set up with the golf. The food was incredible, the pepperoni pizza was particularly excellent.
