This could be a really nice little mini-golf course, but… it’s not. It happens to be the closest one to our house, so when we want to play and don’t have a ton of time to drive to one located farther away… we sometimes go here. But if there was a good alternative, we probably would skip this place. Here’s the pros & cons: Pros — reasonably cheap, frequently has coupons in the val-pak etc mailers, and close by. There’s 18 holes in the mini-golf course, plus a practice hole before you start. It can be good for kids, especially if they haven’t seen some really nice mini-golf courses before. If they’ve seen some pretty nice ones though, this one may be a bit of a let-down. Cons: The mini-golf is not well maintained. Yes, there is often some goose poop on the course. With lots of geese in the area, it can be hard to keep it clear — so I can understand some of that. However, this course has several water features that I haven’t seen running properly in YEARS. The water level on a couple of the features is super-low, and what water there is has a scummy greenish cast to it. The 18th hole water wheel is about the only water feature that actually looks and operates the way it should. It’s not just a matter of aesthetics; properly maintained and operating water features can help introduce a cooling element for players. Trust me, there is so much dark green and concrete that makes up this course, with very few shaded areas, that it gets quite hot out there. There are very few places where you can sit, or even stand and have some shade, while you are waiting for groups ahead of you to finish their hole. Rules aren’t really followed; It’s supposed to be a maximum of four people per group, but the kid running the register had no problem putting a group of six in front of us(we were just 3 people). A number of the holes need maintenance; one hole had a large rock placed over it because something was wrong with the hole. Many of the wood posts that indicate the hole numbers are showing signs of rotting, and there’s nothing flat to lean on when writing on the scorecard. What i would suggest they do differently: Have someone walk the course once or twice a day, pick up poop, etc. Fix the water elements that aren’t working, add some shade, especially if you are going to let large groups play. Consider adding a second course so that there is an alternate for people to play — it may help prevent bunching up. Fix the rotting posts too.

The mini-golf course needs serious attention. It appears as if no one is doing any maintenance. Leaves all over the greens not to mention goose poop. We couldn’t play the last 3 holes because of poop all over. Ridiculous.

My kids love this place. I just found it a few weeks ago and we have been here three times in the last 5 weeks. The only reason why I didn’t give it 5 stars is because I compare all mini golf places to one I went to as a kid myself(30 yrs ago) which had 2 courses, more color and a few more creative obstacles. That being said, this place gets the job done for a mini golf outing and my kids are super happy here.

Took my 2 small kids to put put golf today here and I have to say the employees couldn’t have been any nicer, never being here before the holes are clearly marked and it was a fun course for me and the kids. The grounds are very nice, the kids and I got to sit after our game and watch the people on the driving range. Over all a great experience and we will defiantly go back. Thank you again to the staff for being so helpful and nice you don’t find that many places anymore.

Came here tonight with a couple of friends to mini-golf. From the start, we were told to be quick to beat the twilight, because they would not be turning on the lights for us. As we got on the course, we found that none of the holes were marked, so we didn’t know where to start. This also meant that there was no indication of par. As we started playing, we found that most of the greens had mud all over them, having run off from the mud patches where one might have expected grass or some sort of landscaping. At one point, our balls even got stuck in a mud-filled tunnel! Don’t plan on returning.
