The key word in miniature golf is "miniature", as in "not that serious", or perhaps "fun for your kids" or "a nice date". The

owners of Farmington Miniature Golf need to keep this in mind when they "discipline" you for not moving along.

 

I understand that a group of giddy teenagers can disrupt an otherwise profitable and flowing group of customers on a busy

summer day. But I was told to "move along" with my two young children in the middle of the day at the end of September. I

specifically went to play miniature golf when I would have time to play with my kids, since I knew they wouldn't play at the

pace of older players. No one was behind us (or in front of us for that matter). Yet, we were continuously stared down by the

owner or manager as if someone had sneezed during a PGA putt for the Title.

 

Lighten up, move play along when you must, or place an "no dates, no kids, and no fun" sign at the entrance so customers know

what to expect.

Note from the Putting Penguin

As noted in our original review and support by this user’s review, the course does have some issues with customer service.  They act like

it is a privilege to play the course.  Be wary of playing this course during peak times with a group of friends because you’re sure to be hassled.

 

2nd Note from the Putting Penguin

In November of 2005 we received another review much like the above (same ratings) except the wording wasn’t quite as pleasant.  Again, there is still the tone that this course is somehow “holier-than-thou” and that it is a privilege to play miniature golf.
