The new miniature-golf bar and restaurant Puttshack debuts inside the Shops at Liberty Place in Center City on Saturday, Feb. 24. The venue's four nine-hole courses occupy a 26,000-square-foot, ground-floor space at 1625 Chestnut St., among the stores at the bases of the Liberty One and Liberty Two towers.
Puttshack boasts the use of high-tech golf balls that count players' shots and keep score automatically as they play the colorfully lit courses. Also guests create profiles so each round they play, the ball-tracking technology tallies more statistics about their performances.

For each spring roll sold, $1 will be donated to Philabundance.
Puttshack says its daytime atmosphere will be family-friendly, but after 8 p.m., the venue will be 21-and-over only. The restaurant area will have a 26-seat bar and a dining room that can accomodate 185 people.
Owners announced plans to come to Philadelphia in 2022. Puttshack has nine other locations in the U.S.
