Innovative Offerings for Guests

The introduction of the Challenge Hole by Puttshack underscores its commitment to innovative gaming experiences. Offering sessions with multiple mini-golf games in a dynamic and interactive setting, combined with full-service dining, the Challenge Hole caters to guests seeking immersive and engaging leisure activities. This addition showcases Puttshack's dedication to staying ahead of evolving consumer preferences and providing memorable experiences for its patrons.

Strategic Appointments for Growth

With the appointment of Susan Walmeslely as the chief marketing officer, Puttshack reinforces its dedication to enhancing its brand presence and customer engagement. President Dave Diamond's continued focus on real estate, design, and construction further solidifies the company's commitment to operational excellence and infrastructure development. While Logan Powell transitions into the CEO role, the anticipation for the appointment of a new executive to take on the CFO responsibilities adds another layer of intrigue to Puttshack's organizational evolution.
