The
aging but still pleasant Farmington
mini-golf course is of the 'obstacle' variety - including the requisite
windmill – but it also employs some clever challenges of contour and angles
that will test the occasional minigolf player. The course is well-maintained and adequately lighted. There are
some easy holes that any practiced player should be able to par and some that
can possibly force anyone less than an experienced minigolf player to give up
the maximum six strokes. 'The Waves' is
one of those and while I've holed the ball in two strokes here I've also taken five and even six strokes to accomplish the
same thing on another round of play.
Ball speed is critical, as always.
This kind of putting challenge is what keeps mini-golf interesting and
exciting.
The
adjacent ice cream parlor is convenient and clean and a good place to grab a
fairly reasonably priced snack or drink if you're in need of one after
playing. They also have a free water fountain,
which is rare. The course is
family-owned and in my many visits during the 2004 season the office staff has
always been friendly and helpful.
Parking is convenient. Farmington
mini-golf is right off Route 4 in Farmington.
