Perfect Swing must be named for it’s batting cages considering no one’s really taking swings in mini golf. The putting penguin played this course on a beautiful sunny Sunday in early May, and we were the only people there! Really it was a shame because it was a good course. We hope they get a website running or do some more advertising.
This course looks like many other tournament-style courses. Most of the holes were a variation of a curve and some type of bump in the course. It looks pretty generic. So did the score card. It has no course name on it or the par for each hole. The cups were a little too shallow on the front nine, and the ball hopped out on a number of occasions. There are flags in the cup at each hole, which is a minor annoyance because you have to remove and replace them throughout play. The water wasn’t running, but it was early in the season. Hole 13 was a 3 tiered hole and was neat except for the pvc pipe that was a little beat up and didn’t allow you to get the ball in the hole at the bottom. There were some small lumps in the mats on the back nine that we weren’t sure if they were purposeful or a problem with the mats, but they didn’t seem to interfere too much with the movement of the ball.
Despite these criticisms we enjoyed this course. The layout and vegetation looked great, and the course was well maintained. Considering how prices have been going up for miniature golf we thought the $5.50 was quite reasonable. The location is great-it’s just down the street from the Buckland Hills Mall and Evergreen Walk. We would recommend this course to everyone. They even have Gifford’s ice cream!
