\u201cInternational Drive is known for incredible entertainment, and we\u2019re raising the bar by building the biggest, most impressive courses we\u2019ve ever created. We\u2019re bringing something that surprises guests around every corner, with features you simply wouldn\u2019t expect to see on a mini golf course and won\u2019t find anywhere else,\u201d said Greg Bartoli<\/a>, founder and CEO of PopStroke, in a news release. \u201cFrom the moment you step onto the course, every turn will deliver a wow moment. We\u2019re excited to bring this mini golf and restaurant experience to life and give Orlando something entirely new to experience.\u201d<\/p>\n The 16,229-square-foot, two-story venue includes indoor and outdoor dining, a rooftop terrace, a beer garden and a children\u2019s playground. The BarTenders Eatery is the focal point of food and beverage offerings, which also includes an ice cream parlor and five bars. One bar is an on-course walk-up bar.<\/p>\n A river system winds throughout the property, flowing beneath pedestrian bridges and cascading over the water features that surround guests on both courses. One course rises over the course of play, bringing guests to the top of the property\u2019s largest waterfall.<\/p>\n Each hole features misters, shade trees and fans to keep players cool, plus digital scoreboards, hole-in-one cameras and app-based scoring. It\u2019s also possible to have food and drink delivered anywhere on the course by ordering through the PopStroke app.<\/p>\n The $9.5 million location is the largest financial commitment to date among its 20 locations nationwide. Located at 8554 International Drive adjacent to the Orange County Convention Center, PopStroke\u2019s International Drive flagship is designed with both convention attendees and leisure travelers in mind.<\/p>\n PopStroke\u2019s first Orlando location opened in Waterford Lakes in 2022 and expanded to include a second location in Horizon West\u2019s Hamlin town center last year.<\/p>\n Find me\u00a0@PConnPie on Instagram<\/a>\u00a0or send me an email:\u00a0pconnolly@orlandosentinel.com<\/a>.
