PopStroke<\/a>, the golf entertainment brand backed by Tiger Woods and TaylorMade, has revealed a first look at its new Orlando flagship, set to open in December 2026. And these aren’t your average windmill-and-castle mini golf courses.<\/p>\nThe sprawling venue will feature two custom-designed 18-hole courses that take players over waterfalls, through a cave and right past a tank filled with six sharks and stingrays.<\/p>\n
Yes, you’ll be putting next to sharks. Don’t let them throw off your short game.<\/p>\n
The mini golf courses have 13-foot waterfalls<\/p>\n
A river system will wind throughout the property, flowing underneath pedestrian bridges and cascading over waterfalls that reach up to 13 feet tall.<\/p>\n
One of the courses gradually climbs in elevation, eventually bringing players onto holes built directly on top of the property’s largest waterfall. Smaller waterfalls will be scattered throughout both courses.<\/p>\n
At the center of the experience, players will enter a cave and make their way past a tank housing six sharks and stingrays, easily one of the more unusual obstacles you’ll encounter during a round of mini golf.<\/p>\n
And because this is Orlando, where playing 18 holes outside can get steamy, PopStroke says every hole will have misters, shade trees and fans.<\/p>\n
The courses will also lean into technology. Interactive digital scoreboards and hole-in-one cameras will be installed throughout the property, and players can keep score through the PopStroke app.<\/p>\n
You can get drinks delivered to the course<\/p>\n
PopStroke is designing the International Drive location as more than a place to play a round of mini golf.<\/p>\n
Guests will be able to order food and drinks through the PopStroke app, including drink delivery anywhere on the course.<\/p>\n
The two-story venue will have indoor and outdoor dining, a rooftop terrace overlooking the greens, a beer garden and a children’s playground. BarTenders Eatery will anchor the food and beverage side of the attraction with a chef-driven menu and an ice cream parlor.<\/p>\n
There will also be five bars, including an on-course walk-up bar.<\/p>\n
“International Drive is known for incredible entertainment, and we’re raising the bar by building the biggest, most impressive courses we’ve ever created,” PopStroke founder and CEO Greg Bartoli said in announcing the new attraction.<\/p>\n
Why PopStroke is going big in Orlando<\/p>\n
PopStroke already operates more than 20 locations around the country, but the company is billing the International Drive courses as the most elaborate it has ever built.<\/p>\n
The location makes sense for a flagship, too. Orlando welcomed a record 76.7 million visitors in 2025, according to Visit Orlando, making it the most-visited destination in the U.S.<\/p>\n
The new PopStroke is located at 8554 International Drive, next to the Orange County Convention Center, putting it in the middle of one of Orlando’s busiest tourism corridors.<\/p>\n
In addition to vacationers, the venue is being designed with convention and corporate groups in mind, with multiple event spaces and the ability to accommodate full-venue buyouts.<\/p>\n
The new PopStroke Orlando International Drive location is scheduled to open in December 2026.
