The challenge

Add Guest Engagement Without Adding Staff Work

Puttery Dallas wanted an additional way for guests to interact during their visit. The goal was an experience guests would choose to use themselves.

The venue also lacked a review collection process before BuzzyBooth. Although reviews were not the primary reason for installing the booth, this created an opportunity to capture feedback from guests alongside their on-site experience.

The solution

Put BuzzyBooth Where Guests Were Playing

Puttery Dallas installed BuzzyBooth at the course, making it accessible during the mini golf experience.

Guests used the booth to create media, and the venue reported substantial participation without staff prompting. Employees did not need to repeatedly introduce the booth or persuade guests to try it.

That self-directed use was central to the outcome: BuzzyBooth provided another activity for guests while fitting into the venue’s existing operations.

The result

Guest Participation Plus 600+ Five-Star Reviews

BuzzyBooth delivered on Puttery Dallas’s main objective by attracting guest participation at the course.

It also introduced a way to request reviews. Over the 18-month reporting period, Puttery Dallas generated more than 600 five-star reviews through BuzzyBooth—an average of more than 33 per month.

The team reported a substantial increase in review generation after installation. Without a documented before-and-after baseline, a percentage increase cannot be calculated, but the review total provides a concrete result.

For the industry

Why This Matters for Mini Golf Operators

Puttery Dallas’s experience shows how a guest engagement initiative can also support a venue’s marketing.

The booth gave guests something to do during their visit, captured guest-created media, and supported review collection. Staff prompting was not needed to drive participation.

For mini golf and entertainment operators, the practical takeaway is straightforward: an activity guests enjoy using can create value beyond the moment itself. In Puttery Dallas’s case, that included more than 600 five-star reviews over 18 months.

We love that BuzzyBooth gives our guests something fun to do and share when they visit Puttery. It’s a cool way to get people interacting with our brand without it feeling like marketing. It just fits naturally into the experience.
