PopStroke Hamlin slated to open in August

Originally announced in the spring of 2023 as part of a 13-venue expansion plan, the long-awaited Hamlin location of PopStroke — a miniature golf concept featuring two 18-hole putting courses, food and drink, outdoor games and a playground — is slated to open in August. 

After posting a coming soon sign on the corner of Hamlin Groves Trail and Shoreside Way earlier this year, construction crews have been busy developing Horizon West’s newest entertainment venue, and on April 28, PopStroke shared an aerial photo of the venue with the caption: “Our newest Hamlin-Winter Garden location is (trucking) along. See you this August, West Orlando!”

PopStroke Entertainment Group Marketing Manager Tammy Hutchison confirmed the news of the fall opening and shared that they are hoping to welcome guests as soon as possible.

“We’re shooting for an early August opening,” Hutchison said. “I don’t have an exact date for everyone just yet … (but) we will know more probably within the next month. Typically, when we come to market, we open the day we are able to because we want to get those doors open and get everyone in there having some fun. So hopefully, within the next few weeks or so, I can follow up with you all with an exact date.”

The newest Florida location of the Tiger Woods- and Taylor Made-backed miniature golf project will be located right in Hamlin Town Center and will be the perfect night out for the whole family.

“We’ll have a full-service bar and restaurant with a scratch kitchen,” Hutchison said. “We have two full courses, there’ll be bar service to those on the courses. One of our courses is also fully ADA compliant — so it will be accessible to wheelchairs, strollers, all those things. We also have a beer garden that includes games such as foosball, ping pong and cornhole. There’s really something for everyone at PopStroke, from ice cream parlors to the bar on the course. It’s really for ages 3 to 83; that’s kind of what we like to say about it. Putting is universal for any skill level and any age, and at PopStroke, we’re here to make indelible memories and hope that everyone has a good time at our properties.”

For those interested in learning more about PopStroke and want more information about its new Hamlin location, Hutchison pointed to its website and social media outlets.

“A lot of the latest news — especially regarding the Hamlin opening — will be found on our social media platforms,” she said. “So Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, that’s where we’ll try to keep everyone as up to date as possible.”
