Tipsy Putt - Sunnyvale, California

William To

Fun venue with a variety of things to go. It leans more on the tipsy side than the putt side which is fine but less of what I expected. The drinks are solid and strong and the food is decent bar food. Will come back for the drinking and less so for the putting next time.

The beer selection is too notch. The food was mediocre at best. The atmosphere is interesting, to say the least. I recommend this place overall, but I can't say that I would return any time soon. This is a novel space, and we took a large team here, which worked out well.

It's okay, not great, not terrible, but for $18 per person I would have kinda expected a few more interesting holes and probably 18, instead of the 9 they have. Drinks were good and relatively reasonably priced, it wasn't busy, and the folks were friendly, so all in all, it was OK.

Good place for team events.
Mini golf, push pod, and bar.
The vibe was great, the food is OK.

In general we were kind of disappointed with Tipsy Putt. The service was very slow and offered incorrect information while being fairly rude about it. The food was fine but nothing special. The golf course was entertaining but the hand golf was much more fun.

I recently visited Tipsy Putt and ordered the nachos with guacamole. While the atmosphere of the place is lively and fun, the food didn’t quite hit the mark for me. Overall, the experience was just okay and nachos and guac were fine. The price is okay, but I was expecting more vegetarian friendly options. It’s a good spot for drinks and a casual hangout with colleagues.

Tipsy Putt can be a fun place for you to go whether you are on a date or with a group of friends or coworkers. There’s something for everyone there with a handful of activities (mini golf, 1-2 Putt, cornhole, board games, etc.) and wide selection of drinks. Tbh, I was expecting a little more with the mini golf course considering the place is called Tipsy Putt. Like what some of the other reviewers have mentioned, the mini golf course was a little chaotic and confusing to navigate through even with the clearly posted hole numbers because of people skipping through or camping at that hole which prevents the next group from having a chance. The staff were friendly and welcoming.

The parking can suck considering it’s downtown but there is a parking garage right next door or across the street.

For the price and the amount of activities offered, I don’t really see myself hanging out here for more than 2 hours but that’s just me so I still recommend checking this place out!

Tipsy Putt seemed like a fun option for a work team outing, and for the price, it wasn't bad. Here's a breakdown of the experience:

Great Value for Groups: Booking a reservation for our group of 14 was a breeze, and the price for unlimited mini golf was very reasonable, including the space rental. We were also pleasantly surprised by the food – tacos, salad, nachos, and churros – all surprisingly good for a bar/activity place.

Seating and Set-up: The venue offers both indoor and outdoor seating. Inside, the mini golf (putt-putt) is on the right, and there's a table golf area on the left.

Drinks and Getting Started: They offer complimentary tasters for some beers advertised on the TVs. Non-alcoholic drinks are also available. Once you sign the waiver, grab your golf ball, paper, and pencil at the front desk. For table golf, request the special club from the receptionist.

Chaotic Mini Golf: Here's where things get frustrating. The mini golf course itself was chaotic! With so many groups, following the sequence became impossible. We'd jump from hole 1 to 7, then end up at 9. Groups were constantly getting split up and confused.

Abandoned Drinks and Unclear Occupancy: Drinks left behind at various holes made it hard to tell if a group was still playing or if the hole was free.

Easy Games, Short Playtime: The actual mini golf games weren't challenging at all. Excluding the crowd issue, we could've finished in 20 minutes. Game rules are provided on the scorecard you get from the front desk.

Limited Replay Value: With the lack of challenge and the chaotic atmosphere, after one round, we were done with the mini golf.

Service Upbeat, Parking a Downer: The service staff was fast, and our food and space were ready upon arrival.

Heads up on parking: street parking on W. McKinley is limited to 2 hours, and some of my team members got parking tickets. There's a free parking garage behind Tipsy Putt, though.

Tipsy Putt has the potential to be a fun group outing, especially with good food and reasonable group rates. However, the overcrowded mini golf course was frustrating and took away from the experience. If you're going with a large group, consider the potential chaos, and maybe plan for other activities alongside the mini golf.
