My friends and I are avid mini-golfers and have been to many courses in CT, so we had to go mini golfing while on vacation in Rhode Island. We were pleasantly surprised to find a hidden gem in the area. It does look a little plain and dumpy from the road, and some of the obstacles like the boat or the rock swirl could use a touch up. However, this course is simply a lot of fun, even though it can be very difficult at times. It is a full 18 hole course with a lot of par 3's and the last course being a par 4. The courses are well maintained and have many jumps over sand traps and an artificial river. It also incorporates a fun local beach theme to most of the courses, such as a lighthouse instead of a windmill, a lifeguard chair, a giant clam in the water trap, etc. It is located literally next door to other fun activities, like Misquamicut's public beaches, a water slide park, arcade, and carnival style amusement park rides (ie, bumper cars, old style merry go round, and other small rides), as well as the facility having its own batting cages, go-carts, and bumper boats. All in all, if you are vacationing nearby, or live in the area, I strongly suggest giving this course a go!

I love the ocean so this course being next to the ocean gets a 10 atmosphere score by default. The 10 difficulty score is a different story. This facility removed their bumper boat attraction due to COVID restrictions and used the space to expand the mini golf. Great idea in theory but some of the mini golf holes were lengthened in such a way that they require 4 or 5 shots. There was one hole where it was impossible to put the ball in the cup. The obstacles are creative & fit in with the area with a nautical theme so hopefully the angles and placement of the cups can be refined for future seasons.
