This course is a run of the mill course that doesn’t go out of its way to be anything spectacular, but is clean (including the water which was thankfully not “tidy-bowl blue”), well laid-out and overall a nice course to play. The course seemed to be going through some early-season renovations while we were there, but that didn’t detract from the overall play. This is a good championship style course, but the holes are standard fair.
The only issue we had with the course itself was one hole where it looks like you might be able to putt it in the water and have it come out on the green, but there are no signs to that effect and everyone we watched try it had the ball come to a stop still in the water. The other negatives we had for the course were minor and were: the scorecard was generic (no pars, no course information or rules); they didn’t have a place to pick your own color ball; and the price was the course was too expensive. This did not compared to other $7 or $8 dollar courses we’ve played in the past couple of years.
Overall, the course is worth playing, but don’t expect anything overwhelming here. It would be a great course for a tournament, but might not be that exciting for people looking for a place to play with friends. There is a lot of other stuff to do at the complex as well, which may bring you back to the course again.

While the course was nothing special, it was clean, and well cared for. The destination offered Mini-golf, Pitch & Putt, a Driving range, and a par 3 course, as well as a refreshment stand. Since the last review, they made a nice, though small scorecard, with pars, and a map of the course. In addition to playing the mini golf, we tried our hand at the pitch & putt, and found it to be just as they described; Somewhere between mini golf, and a regulation par 3 course. The prices are the same as for mini, and that seems like a bargain to me. All in all, a good day, and I'd go back again, but since it's about a 90 minute ride for us, we would be sure to plan for other things to do in the area.

My husband and I found this facility by
accident. Though we had originally set out to find a miniature golf course, we
were pleasantly surprised to find the pitch / putt and opted to try that. The
facility itself is clean and seemed quite busy - a good sign! Price was
reasonable and the course itself was fairly well maintained, though the greens
could have been a bit better. Also available here were a driving range and
18-hole course. Something to keep everyone occupied. As mentioned in another
review, food and refreshments were good quality and price-wise. Overall, we
would recommend this as a fun way to spend time with friends and family. We
would certainly go back if we found ourselves out in the

I thought this was a pretty good course. My daughter was delighted with the hole where you have to putt into the water. Not overly ornate, but enjoyable (especially the wrap up after the game - ice cream!) I thought the price was reasonable considering other courses I've played. The snack bare fare is definitely a cut way above the others.
