Putters & Gutters Family Fun

Putters & Gutters

“Fun is what we do!”

By Judith Shabram

Roy Cockrell wanted to build a place in Lampasas where families could have fun; a place with a bowling alley, an arcade, puttputt golf, and a restaurant. His vision soon came to life and quickly became Putters & Gutters, likely the most unique family fun center in the Texas Hill Country. The famous place where they proudly proclaim “fun is what we do” is open in Marble Falls with a newly expanded version, promising to entertain and amaze with seven acres of exciting activities.

As the name implies, there is a bowling alley with twenty lanes. Leagues are available for fun and sanctioned bowling for the more serious bowlers who enjoy tournament play. In addition, the bowling alley offers full access to the restaurant, The Broken Fork, complete with servers to take your order, including beer, wine, and cocktails. The Broken Fork offers an extensive menu, all from

fresh prep. You can choose from steak, fish, and award-winning pizza, as well as favorites like surf and turf or the more exotic bacon-wrapped quail. The Broken Fork menu also hosts a variety of appetizers, salads, and sandwiches.

The arcade is equipped with 32 of the latest high-tech, top-of-the-line games and a redemption center for prizes. While most arcades allow you to purchase cards for arcade games only, Putters & Gutters offers a fun card that includes all the amenities and the restaurant.

The beautifully landscaped eighteen-hole puttputt golf course with stunning water features is adjacent to the Go Kart Barn. The adventurously fast go-karts run on a concrete track and offer single or double seats.

If you haven’t heard, roller skating is making a comeback. Touted by many as beneficial to mental and physical health, skating is a sport that the entire family can enjoy. The skating rink at Putters & Gutters offers quad skate rentals, trainers for little ones, a full snack bar, and pool tables.

Putters & Gutters is also an excellent place for your next Birthday party. Choose packages that

include Putt-Putt, skating or bowling, or all three and enjoy the benefit of having a dedicated party host to help with the details. Adults may also use the party rooms for celebrations or business meetings.

Need a place to go for holiday celebrations, the big game, Taco Tuesday, or Thirsty Thursday? Putters & Gutters also provides seasonal and annual events for the family.

One of the more exciting aspects of the new Putters & Gutters is the live music venue, The 19th Hole. It can accommodate 2,500 outside in covered open seating and a luxurious horseshoeshaped VIP area upstairs overlooking the stage. In addition, the VIP section offers access to a full bar and The Broken Fork menu.

According to marketing manager Kasey Faurie, the vision is to bring the neighboring cities together with an event venue suited for a variety of functions and local and national entertainment that will appeal to a broad audience.

Concerts announced to date are The Killer Dueling Pianos (4/8/22), Lorrie Morgan (4/23/22), and Tracy Byrd (4/29/22). Tickets may be purchased at outhousetickets.com or at Putters & Gutters.

Putters & Gutters is also bringing the highintensity sport of axe throwing that challenges anyone over 18 who can launch upwards of 3 lbs. of steel at a target (much like darts) in an attempt to hit the bullseye. If axe throwing sounds a little intimidating, Putters & Gutters also plans on offering Cornhole leagues.

Everything at Putters & Gutters is designed to engage families in a safe, fun, and exciting environment. From bowling to live music, Putters and Gutters has something for the entire family. Perhaps the best reviews are from the customers who say, “everyone is so helpful and friendly, and it’s always an amazing time with great food and even better company.”

Putters & Gutters is open Sunday – Thursday 10am-10pm and Friday and Saturday 10am – 1am. 4100 N US Hwy 281 Marble Falls, www. puttersandgutters.com
