Putt some friendly competition into happy hour

On May 18, downtown Iowa City bars and restaurants host the annual Puttin’ Around Downtown mini-golf tournament. Registered teams of up to four can play courses at their own pace while enjoying some food and drink specials at each destination. Play for prizes or just for fun, and enjoy the free swag.

The staff at each of the 15 participating venue designs and builds each path, so the levels of difficulty (and building materials) vary from one place to the next. Golfers can pick up maps and scorecards at check-in and then play the holes in any order.
