From professional to pedestrian, the area has something for golfers of all ranges and levels—including elevated putting experiences, family golf centers and public courses with challenging layouts. True golfers will want to set up a few rounds just to get their fill here.

Enjoy UTC's New PopStroke Golf Experience

A new experiential golf and outdoor dining concept has come to Sarasota! Co-designed by the golf legend himself, Tiger Woods, along with TGR Design, two 18-hole miniature golf courses were created exclusively for PopStroke locations—each course more dynamic and technologically advanced than your average pirate- or dinosaur-themed putt-putt course. PopStroke infuses technology within the golf experience to create an interactive and competitive atmosphere for all participants. The experience includes using Tiger Woods' ball of choice: Bridgestone Each guest keeps a PopStroke Bridgestone commemorative ball with their round of golf.

Better yet, you won't leave hungry. PopStroke features a full-service restaurant with open-air dining, rooftop bar, LED TVs and Jumbotron with players' stats, outdoor area to play yard games, playground and private event space. After a round on the green, grab a bite to eat and drink at the restaurant. Or, if you're having too much fun, have your order delivered right to you while your game is in session. The menu offers an expansive variety of craft beer, wine, ice cream and elevated bar food to enjoy on or off the course. 

A great way to putt around and spend the afternoon or evening—whether solo, as a couple, with the family or a group of friends—Sarasota is excited to be one of the three other locations that recently opened this year. Find Sarasota's PopStroke location at University Town Center, next to The Mall at UTC, for all your golfing splendor!
