Swingers, the crazy golf club, is heading to Boston.
The new Boston location, designed like a retro British country club, will have a restaurant in the basement and ground floor, with mini golf and arcade games on the two upper floors. Swingers plans to have 350 total seats at this location, making it the perfect venue to play a round of golf with friends or host a group event for special occasions.
But, you’re going to have to wait awhile. The new establishment isn’t slated to open until fall 2025.
In the meantime, here’s what to know about it:

What is Swingers?
Swingers was started by Matt Grech-Smith and Jeremy Simmonds at a 2014 pop-up in London. After having success with the first two locations in London, Grech-Smith and Simmonds expanded to the United States, with locations in New York City, Las Vegas and Washington, D.C.
With a goal to be the most fun venue possible, Swingers combines crazy golf from the British seaside, elevated street food, cocktails and live DJs, creating a unique interactive bar experience.
What is crazy golf?
Crazy golf is a form of mini golf that originated in the United Kingdom where the holes are found within hills and slopes. Often, crazy golf has more whimsical themes and eccentric obstacles than regular mini golf.
At Swingers, the crazy golf course has nine holes, all designed to delight and challenge players. The special on-course drink menu allows for drinks to be ordered and delivered to players throughout the game.
How to go to Swingers
If construction goes as planned, Swingers in Boston will open in the fall of 2025.
Reservations are encouraged, and the proposed hours are noon to midnight on weekdays and noon to 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
The 21,000-square-foot restaurant will be located at 777 Boylston St. in Back Bay, a building owned by the Tavistock Restaurant Collection.
