Topgolf Founders Raise $60 Million for High-Tech Mini Golf Company
The founders of Topgolf have raised $60 million in funding for a high-tech mini golf company, Puttshack.
The founders, Steve and Dave Jolliffe, are behind Puttshack along with others.
Puttshack opened its first U.S. location in Atlanta last month, but is now planing to bring mini-golf courses to more cities, including Miami, Nashville and others.
Could Rhode Island be in the future?
Topgolf is still scheduled to open a facility in Cranston in the coming years. There has still been no word on when construction will start.
About Puttshack
Puttshack takes the mini-golf experience to the next level.
The company uses a technology called Trackaball, to keep score for players as they play.
The courses also featured leaderboards and a digital prize wheel.
The holes themselves are custom-themed, like a beer pong table, pac-man, skeeter’s-ball and more.
