Hands down, no questions asked, one of the best (if not the very best) miniature golf courses we’ve ever played. That’s it, we’ve made the statement and we’re sticking to it. This course was like walking into a miniature golf version of the Jungle Cruise at Disney World, that’s how much effort went into making this course. Each and every hole has something to keep you interested and something that keeps with the theme. There’s skeletons stuck in quicksand, totem heads in the waterfall, talking tiki gods, snakes (why’d it have to be snakes?), crazy monkeys, a witch doctor, and an alligator with a surprise. There’s so much more that to even list all the little things they did to make this course great would take up pages (for example: watch for the “spider webs”, the crazy fog machine and the animal trapped in a shipping crate). Did we mention that you can actually play mini-golf too? We ended up playing the course twice in two days because we were so enthralled with all the props that the mini-golf got lost the first time around (and it’s a lot cooler to play the course at night as we found out). The holes themselves are pretty creative and a lot of them are a bit longer, creating some extra difficulty. Most of the holes are makable in one or two, which means that the par is online with the difficulty.
The only two knocks we have against the course is a) it’s expensive, but you get your money’s worth and b) the tee mats are beat up a bit. When you work it out through that’s one negative point stacked up against 200 positive points. There’s only so much words can describe, so I urge you to talk a look at the pictures on the course’s website and what we have posted here as well.
