What People Are Saying:
The overwhelming consensus is extremely positive. Here’s a breakdown of common themes from recent reviews:
The Good:
- Fun for All Ages: "Some of the best memories I've made with family happened here." The course is consistently described as "amazing" and "fun" for everyone from kids to adults.
- Welcoming Atmosphere: Reviewers repeatedly use words like "vibrant" and “upbeat” to describe the atmosphere.
- Excellent Food & Drinks: The extensive menu consistently receives positive reviews, with mentions of delicious tacos, burgers, mozzarella sticks, and well-made drinks. "The food was delicious... and came out pretty fast."
- Thoughtful Amenities: The misting fans were a hit, particularly on hot Texas days. "The misting fans🤩 it was about 85 degrees outside, but we were having fun.” Keeping the course cool is clearly appreciated.
- Cleanliness and Maintenance: “Very clean and well maintained” is a common refrain, demonstrating PopStroke's commitment to providing a quality experience.
Areas for Improvement:
- Heat & Shade: The biggest complaint by far is the lack of shade on the outdoor course, particularly during peak hours. Several reviewers suggested adding more shade structures, retractable canopies, or shade over the existing misting fan poles. "Amazing venue and experience – would be a five star rating if wasn't so hot."
- Customer Service (Bar Area): Some reported that the bar staff seemed disengaged, spending time on their phones rather than attending to customers. The automated ordering system, while convenient, was perceived as detracting from the personal touch of traditional service. "Watching the bar team just stand there on their phones until you order your own drink isn't what we expected."
Overall Verdict:
Despite the concerns about heat and bar service, PopStroke The Colony receives overwhelmingly positive reviews. It’s a unique and enjoyable experience that offers a significant upgrade to traditional miniature golf. If you’re looking for a fun outing with friends, family, or a date, PopStroke is definitely worth checking out! Be sure to consider visiting during cooler hours or evenings to fully enjoy the outdoor course.
