I played this course in June of 2005 and really enjoyed it.  Most of the holes are acceptably creative and while a few are fairly easy to par, some are deceptive and only look 'easy'. Hole #5 is a real challenge and can end up costing you quite a few strokes if you don't think about it before you hit the ball. The 'Tidy-Bowl blue' running water is a distraction at first -but you get used to it.  The course is on the Pro-Minigolf tour and is definitely fun to play, although making or beating par is

usually elusive for the majority of non-pro players.  

 

A bit off the beaten path, Blue Fox Walk offers the usual soda, ice cream and other snack foods and is right next to a bowling alley, should the urge to bowl a few frames come over you after your minigolf game.  One drawback (for some) might be that toilet facilities are limited to one of those Port-A-Potty things off to one side of hole #3. However, if the bowling alley is open, you can use their facilities, instead.  Recommended.
