Google is bringing a mini golf course on a four-city tour this summer, and it's swinging through Chicago later this month.
Google announced that it's built a "Google Home Mini Golf course," a pop-up course designed to promote its Google Home devices. It's stopping in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Atlanta. It'll be in Chicago from June 14-17 at 35 N. State St.

Google will have its smart speakers at points throughout the course for people to interact with as they play. The company also says that players will leave with a pair of golf socks, and a chance to win a Google Home Mini or Max.
It's a gimmicky promotion for sure, but who doesn't love a quick 18 holes of mini golf? And at the moment, Google has reason to brag about its smart speakers, as it outsold Amazon in the category in Q1.
Google is also making moves locally as it plans to add more than 100,000 square feet of office space in Fulton Market, according to the Chicago Tribune. It's negotiating a lease in a 12-story building at 210 N. Carpenter St., which expects to be finished by the end of this year, the Tribune said.
