The highly anticipated PopStroke Winter Garden is officially opening its doors on August 6 at 5487 Hamlin Groves Trail in the heart of Hamlin. This new entertainment venue blends innovative mini-golf with a full restaurant and bar, on-course food and beverage service, and family-friendly amenities—making it one of the most exciting additions to Horizon West in 2025.
⛳️ WHAT IS POPSTROKE?
If you're unfamiliar with the concept, PopStroke is a golf entertainment experience co-founded by Tiger Woods, designed to be both fun and competitive. The Hamlin location features two 18-hole putting courses, each built with synthetic turf and realistic golf course contours like fairways, bunkers, and roughs. You’ll use just a putter—no drivers or wedges—but the challenge is real, and it’s a blast whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned golfer.
Each course is crafted to offer a different experience: one designed to be more approachable for families and casual players, and the other built with more challenging elevation changes and terrain. Tech-enhanced features like digital scorekeeping and interactive leaderboards elevate the game even more. Everything is accessible through the PopStroke app, including tee time reservations and food/drink orders delivered right to you on the course.
🍔 DINING & DRINKS AT BARTENDERS
PopStroke is more than just golf. At its core is BarTenders, a full-service restaurant serving a crave-worthy menu of burgers, tacos, chicken tenders, wraps, and shareable snacks. There’s even an ice cream parlor and custom milkshake bar to cool you down after a round.
Three full bars offer cocktails, beer, wine, and mocktails, with both indoor and outdoor seating available. Prefer not to leave your game? Use the app to order and enjoy on-course delivery of your favorite drinks and bites.
🎯 MORE THAN GOLF: ENTERTAINMENT FOR ALL AGES
The venue spans 1.75 acres and offers plenty to do beyond the putting green, including:
- Outdoor gaming patio with yard games and shaded seating
- Kids playground with rubberized safety surfacing
- Jumbotrons and TVs throughout the venue for sports fans
- Event-friendly spaces perfect for birthdays, corporate outings, and social gatherings
Climate-controlled dining areas and cooling fans on the course make it enjoyable year-round—even in the Florida heat.
