It was hard to even know there was a mini golf course here.
Interestingly enough the posted phone number is disconnected. But
in fact there is a golf course here as well as a driving range. First
thing we noticed is there is no par listed. When asking the attendant he
mentioned that they have not gotten around to it yet. The golf course
does have an interesting layout with some challenging holes. The back 9
is slightly more challenging. Most holes do not allow for a hole-in-one
chance. Obstacles are well placed that often prevent a direct putt.
Hole #17 often results with a ball in the water
due to a rope barrier issue. The best score our group (better than
average mini golfers) could manage was a 44; average was somewhere around a 47.
It is a course that we would certainly revisit.
