Putt-R-Round opens at new location, offers putt arcade

On Feb. 1, 2026, Putt-R-Round owners Jef Jenkins and Jade Weber closed their doors. Three days later, they opened new doors just down the block.

Putt-R-Round, now located at 130 W. Michigan Ave. in Ypsilanti, offers an 18-hole mini golf course as well as a putt arcade in which players can putt for prizes.

The husband and wife owners have already begun to take advantage of the new location's spaciousness and separate event room. The bigger space allows for more putt arcade games to be available to customers at one time, and the event room can be reserved for parties.

"We only had the space for four or five (putt arcade games) at the other shop, but now we can have all seven," Jenkins said.

Jenkins and Weber managed to move into the new location in just two days with the help of some friends. The team was able to get the courses set up in time for customers to enjoy, but arranging decor is still a work in progress.

"It's fully functional, but not fully decorated," Jenkins explained.

With an upgraded location come more opportunities to expand services, an area that Jenkins and Weber have already begun to explore. The pair have ideas about launching glow golf and building a greater variety of putt arcade games. They are also hosting their first movie night in the new event room at 7 p.m., Feb. 13, 2026.

The Friday-the-13th movie night is set to be a double feature, showing "Earnest Goes to Camp" and "Jason Goes to Hell" back-to-back. Snacks and drinks are available, and admission is free. 

Putt-R-Round offers an 18-hole mini golf course and a putt arcade mini golf skill game that allows players to win tickets to redeem for prizes. It is open 4-10 p.m. on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 4-11 p.m. on Fridays, 12-11 p.m. on Saturdays, and 12-8 p.m. on Sundays. It is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. No reservations are necessary to play.
