Puttshack to open second location in 22,000 s/f
space at Natick Mall
Natick, MA Puttshack, a leader in upscale, tech-infused mini golf, is opening its newest location on February 10, 2024 at 1245 Worcester St., at the Natick Mall. This marks Puttshack’s second location in Massachusetts, following the launch of Puttshack Boston in Seaport in October 2022.
Spanning 22,000 s/f over two floors, Puttshack Natick features three nine-hole mini golf courses, each infused with Puttshack’s patented Trackaball technology. This innovation allows for an interactive game experience with automated scoring and competitive, interactive holes such as life-sized beer pong, trivial “puttsuit”, foosball, and Connect 4, to name a few.
Puttshack Natick will also offer ADA-accessible courses and a dietary-inclusive menu. Additionally, in its effort to advocate for individuals with sensory processing needs, Puttshack has earned the Sensory Inclusive certification from KultureCity, an Alabama-based nonprofit. The venue maintains a family-friendly environment during the day and transitions to an elevated nightlife space for adults over 21 after 8 pm.
With a full-service bar on each floor, guests will discover the dining and cocktail offerings can be as much a draw as the entertainment itself. The culinary team at Puttshack Natick has curated a diverse menu that celebrates global flavors with local inspiration woven through.
Signature dishes include the Boston Tailpipe, spring rolls filled with lobster mac ‘n cheese, and a reuben flatbread with shaved corned beef and Swiss cheese. Puttshack takes pride in supporting the local communities and will be supporting the New England Center for Children by donating one dollar for every Tailpipe sold at their newest location.
The bar features local beers, a variety of mocktails and a range of cocktails like the spicy pineapple mezcal margarita and the breaking bad pisco punch served in a smoke-filled treasure chest. The venue also has an outdoor patio and a semi-private room, and is available for private events, parties, and corporate gatherings.

Keeping the “there” there - by Carol Todreas
New zoning is a big topic for many communities.

Placemaking and retail in 2024 - by Carol Todreas
Placemaking. That is the word for 2024. While the concept has historical precedence in urban development, it became part of our current culture in the 1960’s when urbanists started to think about cities for people, not just cars.
Reimagining retail for the downtown - by Carol Todreas
Before COVID-19, downtown retail had been sliding downwards. A few restaurants and stores were hanging on, but the trajectory was headed south. Now with post- COVID-19 lifestyle changes, old-style retail anywhere has lost its market appeal.
