❊ About Us
Mini Golf
It’s not just a business
It’s part of our story.
Hello! We’re the Hobbs family, longtime mini golf lovers whose relationship (and now family) has been shaped by countless putts, playful rivalries, and the kind of laughter that only happens on a brightly colored course with a putter in hand.
Years ago, Nik and Erika have declared mini golf their thing, any time a date night or vacation offered the opportunity. Erika remained undefeated until 2023, when Nik finally took the gold. She may have had an unfair advantage though, having worked at an amusement park in high school with ample hours to practice on the mini golf course.
As our family grew, we found ourselves searching for a way to create something of our own—something fun, flexible, and meaningful that could help make ends meet while allowing us to work together. That’s when the idea clicked: why not bring the joy of mini golf directly to the people around us?
And so, Porta Putty was born—a family-run portable mini golf business built from our love of the game and our love for our NoCo community. We’re excited to bring a new kind of entertainment to local events, parties, and gatherings. More than anything, we can’t wait to meet more of our neighbors, share some smiles, and infuse a little extra fun into your celebrations.
From our family to yours, thanks for being part of the journey. Let’s make your next event unforgettable—one putt at a time.

Loved by Campers, Trusted by Parents.
Seriously! But don’t take our word for it, here are some things people have to say about us.
We can’t say enough good things about this camp. Our daughter went from being nervous about spending a week away from home to begging us to sign her up for the longer session next summer! She came home so much more confident, more independent, and totally in love with every sport she tried.

Sending our child to sleepaway camp for the first time was a big step, but we knew right away they were in great hands. The coaches and staff created such a welcoming, safe space. Our son felt supported, included, and had an absolute blast every single day.
