An entertainment business featuring miniature golf courses that’s co-owned by Tiger Woods is eyeing a project in Cedar Park as part of an aggressive Texas growth plan.
Florida-based PopStroke on March 7 presented plans to the Cedar Park City Council to build a 14,000-square-foot restaurant and bar and two 18-hole synthetic turf miniature golf courses at 817 C-Bar Ranch Trail. The company is seeking a 3-acre special use permit, a request that will return to the council for a vote at a future meeting.
The project would be located in the 38-acre mixed-use Cross Creek Market being developed by Austin-based Cordova Real Estate Ventures, which also includes Grove Wine Bar & Kitchen, Hopdoddy Burger Bar, EyeMart Express, Woodhouse Spa and Emler Swim School.
In addition to miniature golf, the project would include an ice cream parlor and beer garden featuring foosball, ping pong and corn hole. Other amenities include a lounge and private event space, drink delivery to the course, large televisions that show leaderboards and live sports, plus an outdoor play area for kids.
Brad Carabajal of Quiddity Engineering LLC, who represented the developer during the meeting, said the project would create hundreds of local jobs during the planning, construction and operational phases. He estimated construction would take about eight to 10 months once necessary approvals are secured.
“There’s not really another mini golf course like this in the area, so it really allows Cedar Park to be its first of kind in the Central Texas area,” Carabajal said.
PopStroke, which is headquartered in Palm Beach and has 1,000 employees across its corporate offices, has roughly 10 open locations, with plans to either open or start construction on another 10 this year. The company’s growth strategy has a particular focus on Texas: one location is open near Houston and another will be opening soon; projects are under construction in both San Antonio and Dallas; and a separate, preliminary project is being considered at an undisclosed site within Austin city limits.
PopStroke has attracted a number of big name investors in addition to Woods, such as golf equipment provider TaylorMade Golf Co. PopStroke was valued at $650 million as of last year, according to the Palm Beach Post.
Chris Whitworth, partner at Cordova Real Estate, said his firm met PopStroke at the International Council of Shopping Centers gathering and started luring it to the Cedar Park location.
If the project comes to fruition, it would add a growing roster of attractions in Cedar Park, which had a population of 77,642 in 2022, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
North Dakota-based sporting goods store Scheels is bringing an indoor entertainment destination to the 118-acre Nebraska Furniture Mart project. Other large-scale lifestyle projects in Cedar Park include the new headquarters of baseball and softball scouting company Perfect Game Inc.; the redevelopment of Bell Boulevard, a 95-acre mixed-use site that could eventually have nearly 450,000 square feet of industrial and commercial space; and the potential WorldSprings spa project.
