Customer Reviews

I went here because I won free putt putt golfing tickets for 4 people and they had a deal buy 5 tokens (soccer&batting cages) $10 and each round lasted a decent amount of time. The first two workers we came in contact with, two younger girls were kind of rude and the putt putt golf ?? was pretty normal. The problems came with the soccer and baseball/softball batting cages.... we had to get a couple of different employees to come out and try to fix the machines because they were all pretty much on their last

I think we've played this course before. It's a challenging course but that's not what I'm downgrading the rating on this for. The grounds seemed to have received some fresh mulch recently, which was nice, but the greens had not been cleaned recently as there was ample debris that caused the play to be a bit challenging. Also, one hole was completely unplayable as water was pooled around the cup. It seems to me that the staff, rather than sitting inside playing on the phones should be out with leaf blo

Had a child?s birthday party there. Kids and parents loved it. Food party room and ice cream was amazing. Golf and batting cages were great. Highly recommend it

Great staff!! Really friendly and helpful when needed ( which was from breaking bills, to the second 5$ bill not letting tokens out, to half the machines but working, eating tokens and not letting tickets out...we were staying at a nearby hotel so wanted a little something for the kids, the putt putt deal looked sweet and the course layout and turf looked real good but we came at night and it was not lit up well at all which sucked so we just did the inside arcade deal.... Next time we'll try more of the o

Nice place. They have 4 batting cages with selection. So you can choose the type of ball you want pitched: softball or baseball. You can select the speed you want to hit at, 4 different speeds and you can raise and lower the height of the pitch. Very nice variability however the machines seems to get jammed and they need cleaned out every once in a while. They also get really busy and you may end up waiting a while to hit. They also have soccer goalie cages. And then their putt putt course is one course wit

First time visiting and we'll be back. We had a large group and the staff was very accommodating

My teenage son and I decided to check out this mini-golf at the Putt and Play. It was $10 for a round of mini-golf. We liked that the holes were challenging and had different spinners on some holes you can spin to add a twist or an obstacle to your game. It was a clean, well run place and would be great to bring your family for a night out. They had arcade games and a snack bar and batting cages and soccer scoring cages. We really enjoyed it. It was a simple and clean place.

This is a great place for a fun game of mini golf, the indoor arcade is pretty good too.

We had a great birthday party experience for my stepson. The party room is large and they provide a great backdrop for pictures. The pizza is made in-house and was decent. The staff was helpful. The kids had fun golfing and playing the arcade games. It's hard to get enough tokens for a prize but the staff was flexible with the kids who won tickets.

Basic miniature golf place with some arcade games and batting cages. The two things that set this place apart is that there are soccer cages like the batting cages and the putt-putt course has extra holes where you can subtract a point or add a point if you make it in those holes. I am giving it four stars instead of five because it is clearly showing it's age and is in disrepair in places. There are signs saying the disrepair is because of COVID.

Small. Fun to play but the golf course it not creative and it's very uneven. Arcade it also small. I don't even know what games can win you tickets even though there are prizes you can win. There were fun challenges to include during the mini golf

Played 1-game of mini golf. Course is well maintained. Had a nice visit the kids really liked the mischief spinners but, they slowed us down a bit and caused a backup. Inside arcade is a little smelly and the chairs are sticky underneath when I scooted my little one into the table. The carpet doesn't allow for the chairs to slide. Bathroom was clean and hip-hip hooray for paper towel dispenser.

Putt N Play is a throwback to the days when you could find a miniature golf around every corner. This establishment has a friendly staff, clean and great fun for a family night, date night or hanging out with friends. We will be back.

Only place like this in grove city and for people that live south that dont want to go all the way to Columbus all the time. We love going there just wish it was open year round and with more games inside would be great. But overall it's a nice place to go.

Great course, great setup for batting cages. Bring your own equipment for cages, stuff provided for course. Most were following COVID mask and distance expectations, staff were great but patrons were not. Not serving food & not allowed to bring food from outside either (only pop and candy available), also not doing arcade right now. Soccer cages were broken. Course was in the middle of some updates, but still great for our families. Excellent location.

I came in on weekend and my experience was great. I felt safe knowing that they required customers to wear masks with all that is going. The lady at the front was very sweet and kind. These people came in without masks and she nicely told them that they could not come in without a mask. They were very rude and tried to make excuses and the lady at the front desk was still very kind to them and made sure they followed the governor's guidelines, which I appreciated and made me feel safe. Cages did mess up a b

Fun place. Well run. Gets really busy on nice weekend evenings.

I absolutely loved the customer care especially the manager Liz! She really helped me out with a kind smile. The mini golf is tons of fun with different rounds each time! And the batting cages were great for the little ones

It is a very nice place and the young people who run it will be willing to help you and welcome you with great kindness, one of the best places to share a time of tranquility, fun and games.

They have a really nice and challenging golf course. The turf was well taken care of. Was a lot of fun to play. The people working were nice and polite.

had an amazing father day with my kid.. Dad's golf free was an amazing surprise.. Great fun, friendly staff, and the batting cages are really fun and reasonable. Plenty to do and fun to be had.. do yourself a favor.and.check it out!!

We had a blast! The cutest put put course I've seen. Well kept, clean, lots of benches if ya need to sit between rounds. I would recommend going here. Price is ok too.

I loved that it was easy to get to had alot of holes took the whole family and we had a good time definitely would go back again if I'm in the area it's really a great place to go and chill they even have a batting range but you have to bring your own bat next time I will try that. Very relaxing place and hang out spot of family or friends.

Course is well maintained and has some of the more interesting designs for putt putt holes in the Columbus area. Staff is super friendly and there is a batting cage and gaming area if you finish the course and still want to do something.

Great place for family fun. The staff is super friendly. I took my children and played the miniature golf course. They also have batting cages and arcades. If you need a snack or drink they have that too.

Nice enough, although the putting is not like putt putt from years ago. The batting cages were not working well while I was there. There were two younger folks working a male and female, who were both very friendly and polite. I will try again soon and will follow up then.

Pretty good. Says its ADA accessible but we really had trouble maneuvering the course.

Putt putt was fun. We went on father's day and my husband played free which was very nice of them. Arcade had a very limited amount of games and they all cost a dollar to play. A little too expensive for skee ball if you ask me.

The workers were very disrespectful. When we entered they quick put their masks on and proceeded to ask where ours were. I told her that I have a medical condition, and she wanted to know if I have proof and what my condition was. Long story short we will NEVER be going there again!

Fantastic experience. It was 3 of us- all 30-somethings who play a considerable amount of mini golf in the middle of our work day. What I'm saying is we aren't your average yokuls playing an irrelevant round of recreational putt putt. We're serious about our craft and are always playing for high stakes- sometimes it's lunch, other times it's to see who has to go on a 3-day hunger strike. My point is we know the lay of the land in this town playing all over the 270 outerbelt.This course will put you to the t

Horrible experience..... My son and I walked in the door at 7:38pm and was told by staff that we weren't able to go because the last group goes out at 7:30. First of all....there were about 6 people there and we would have been through the course before they closed. The worst part was the "manager" I spoke to could care less about my concern. Safe to say I won't be going back. What a joke.

Went for the batting cages, and the staff was great, but the actual cages may need some updating as they did not all work properly.

Fun place to take the family that will not break the bank. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

First time for many golf for my three and one half year old grandchildren they had fun on the course and fun in the game room Love it

We had a soccer team meet up after a game and it was great! Good pizza and almost too many beer selections to choose from.

It was really fun! It is a little run down, but still, it is lots of fun. There is mini golf, a baseball cage, soccer cage, and an arcade. Really fun overall!

Place was terrible. Carpets on mini golf had duct tape and tears. Batting cages we had ok be ball out of forty that was not over our 17yr olds head. No refunds!!!

Workers did a great job dealing with customers. Very diligent in fixing any issues, even ones that were out of their control and making it right. Extremely friendly.

Great place to take the family. I would stay away from going around 6 because it can get very busy and you feel like your being rush to get through all the holes.

This is a really nice Putt N Play course. We visited on our way passing Columbus and stayed near by. Fun courses offering a lot of fun and lots of laughter. I recommend!

None of the cages wanted to work. And as stated on a previous review. They leave kids in charge that don't want to work. There are no refunds, they will keep giving you coins for cages that just take them, but don't work.

The course was overly crowded with very poor maintenance on the putting greens see pictures

1/2 of the games don't work. Waited way to long on putt putt and in line to purchase tokens and putt putt. Batting cages were good.

Great minigolf course. Friendly youngsters running the office. If you like country music playing overhead, this is your place.

Awesome staff and super entertaining. Spent 5 hours with the kids there and they loved it and I had a ton of fun too.

Fun place to visit and have a good time. Very interesting layouts for the holes plus it has batting cages.

Your average putt putt. Wirth the price paid. If i remember right it had 18 holes, and mini arcade area. Maybe 10 games.

Very clean and nice greens. Had a wonderful time and slayed my sister at the air hockey table! Yeah!

The golf course is fine. Arcade is lack-luster. The cages are mostly what I use this place for now.

My boyfriend and I really had a great time with other couples and families while at Putt N Play

This place had a good 18 hole putt course. And a pretty alright batting cage. Great for a date.

We like coming here but the putt putt course hasn't been fixed all summer. Some of the holes are in terrible shape.

Our family really liked the course! Some holes were a challenge!! Just what we like!!

Fairly priced and had fun but some of these holes were ridiculous and the lighting after dark isn't great.

Game room very disappointing ??. Most don't work, or are missing pieces. Won't be returning to even experience the outside... Too let down by the inside. First impressions people. ??

Great counter help went out of their way to make it a great experience and reasonable family fun Thank You

Good variety, some challenge to the course. Fun

This place is the absolute best!!! Love coming with friends and family, the staff is so kind :) would recommend to all.

It is a awesome place

Terrible experience they lock the doors as im walking up at 7 and say they're closed when they're supposed to be open til 8. They leave kids in charge and apparently they dont want to work

Super fun, nice course, friendly staff. Great for families!

Always fun ! Staff is very nice and polite and helpful.

Family fun Mini Golf .. Great lil get away for the day . Bating cages softball,baseball ,soccer .

The putt putt is enjoyable with the little twist that they have put on it...the people there are very nice.

Mini golf and batting cages. The cages use the standard batting cage token, so keep them if you have extra

Had so much fun haven't been to putt putt in a long time. It was a blast.

A fun place to go with friends! Staff was friendly & helpful. Would go back

Not really kid friendly . Some holes very tough. Grandson was challenged too much.

Friendly staff and plenty for the kids to enjoy. Prices are very reasonable.

Be better to have one hole per course

Love it my boys love it?. Will be back next weekend

Really nice little putput place in the heart of Stringtown. Nice holes and well cared for.

Batting cages are abysmal. 3 out of 4 don't work and the one that works drops the balls in front of the plate.

Batting cages,arcade room and a real nice putt putt course within walking distance from many hotels

All but 2 video games had out of order signs. I value time over money, unfortunately I can't get either of them back.

I couldn't make any putts...the rest of my group were scoring hole-in-ones left and right.

Lots of fun! Very hard course! Kept up very well.

Nice little putt putt place to take the kiddos. Clean and good priced.

Fun for the family. Hard to see at night with a few light bulbs blown.

there still closed they only said they were going to be closed for the winter but it's basically summer and they're still closed

I went there on Thursday (Last night) with my date to be find out they were closed when they close at 10 Pm. We went there at 6 pm!

Went a few months back while in Florida had a great time !

Fun for all ages always have a blast with my kid's.

Pretty chill place but the batting cages need a little work

Great place for Putt-Putt, prices aren't bad at all.

Had a great time. Lots of fun with games.

Its pretty cool but...it could use better courses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
