I'll start off with the TLDR for those who want the short upfront. 1. There is no happy hour at this location. 2. For one 9 hole round it is $18 per person, or $25 per person for unlimited. (They have three 9 hole courses) 3. The place is a strange ghost town. There seems to be about three people working here, the golf balls are constantly not in the little baskets before each course, the system is automated at each hole, and all of the bars by each course are closed and not servicing anyone. 4. There is no baby changing table in the mens bathroom. Overall 2/5, only gets 2 stars because it's a large space and it's convenient to get to. To add a bit more context, I really wanted to like this. I don't know if it was a bait and switch with their advertising, but i thought they'd have happy hour, drink and course specials, a holiday pop up bar, and maybe properly themed holes. I was wrong on every front. So if you're looking for any of the things mentioned above, unfortunately there really isn't an option for you in DC (especially an affordable one) The one thing that really grinds my gears is when I asked about their happy hour deals. There is nothing on their website at all. No signs when you walk in. Nothing on their social media, yet when reading these google reviews you see people mention the 'great happy hour' so what is it? Well it doesn't exist. It's a lie. A fake out. Idk if they had a happy hour at one point, but apparently they don't anymore. I asked the bartender point blank (at 230pm on a Friday mind you) if they have happy hour and he said "not on weekends". I asked "is today a weekend?" His reply "yup" and the conversation ended. I wish someone would tell my boss that apparently Friday is a weekend, because a 4 day work week sounds great! Overall I won't be visiting again and I can't recommend that you do either

Was a interesting experience. We arrived late got right in with our Tix but service was slow but the next group came in sooner after and it was busy. Service was slow overall but friendly. Way over priced and cheap cheap decorations but we enjoyed going to DC and it's close to the holiday market. The welcome menu was extremely limited only 3 options but tasted good. My thoughts are way over priced for what you get. The clydes restaurant and holiday market had way better decorations Would not again unless it was free .

I have been wanting to visit Puttery for a while, so when I saw that the Holly Jolly Holiday popup bar had arrived, it felt like the perfect excuse to finally go. I was already across the street at the Downtown DC Holiday Market, so I grabbed the first available reservation on Friday at 5:15. Puttery is a charming spot and now I definitely want to come back for a full round of mini golf. The Holly Jolly Holiday popup is set in its own section and has a cheerful holiday vibe with cute decor touches and small photo opportunities. I wish the space had been a bit larger, but it still felt fun and cozy. The cocktail menu features a nice mix of festive drinks. I ordered the Jolly Pear 75 made with spiced pear liqueur, gin, lemon and sparkling wine. It was bright, lightly sweet and very seasonal. I paired it with the Parmesan truffle fries, which were crispy, flavorful and had a strong truffle aroma that actually delivered. The bartenders were warm and welcoming and the whole experience had an easygoing holiday feel. If you are looking for a festive seasonal outing, Holly Jolly is a fun addition to your holidays list and pairing it with a mini golf game at Puttery makes the visit even better.

Twon was amazing and so was the other staff throughout the evening. Def a vibe and I’m coming back! Also, for the holiday bar they don’t have the Uncle Eddie’s egg nog, I think they said that they will have it in Dec. Also, the wings were good! Spinach dip, amazing and the French fries were good, they had like a spicy ketchup.10/10!

Our waiter was amazing and she took such good care of us- she made our entire experience beautiful to the smallest detail. She’s here outside of the pop up bar too and honestly would ask for her by name 🥰 all recommendations she provided were more than worth while!! ( ask for Edith )
