This is a good example of a
decent miniature golf that could be made much better with just a few hours of
work and some minor improvements.
Although we did have fun playing the course and did decent when it came
to the score, we just thought there were a few things that could make this a really top notch mini-golf.
Let’s start at the beginning-
literally. The first thing we noticed is
that this course lacks distinct starting areas.
Most courses either have one of those pads with three holes, or they
have a clearly defined area at the beginning of the hole, from which you make
your first putt. On this course, you
really got neither. It wasn’t until the
16th hole in which we noticed any sort of markings on the bricks,
which signified the line from behind which one should start. All the other holes were lacking any
markings. A nicely painted white line on
the bricks or a different color brick to mark the boundary of the starting area
would be a nice addition to the course.
The course could also use some general upkeep. The shrubbery around the course was in rough
condition, filled with weeds throughout and the water wasn’t working the day we
played. This also left some of the pools
of stagnant water in nasty condition and probably made a good mosquito-breeding
ground. The course could also use some
higher bricks on some holes because of the super-ease of putting off the carpet
in some areas, and the posts used to hold your scorecard while filling it out should
have the numbers of the holes on them.
Although we may sound
critical, this course did have some good points. First, the people were nice and there was
family-friendly (and good) music throughout.
The cups also had a piece of carpet in the bottom to prevent the ball
from bouncing out since the cups were somewhat shallow. Other than that, the carpets were in good
condition and the holes were somewhat tough, if not all that creative. In the end, we say that this course is worth
playing, and with some simple improvements, this could be a really good course.

We have been
going to T's for five years. We start playing as soon as they open in the
spring and play once or twice a week until they close in the fall. The
operators are the nicest people you would ever want to deal with. They
constantly tease and joke with the customers. The course is always clean, and
the only time I have ever seen the water not running was when they were
cleaning the pond. There are some easy holes and some difficult
ones. There is a good combination of shade and sun. They are really
good about starting you on other than the first hole when it is crowded.
You can play a second round for a dollar. The carpets are all in good shape and
any problems you do come across are always corrected by the time we would
return. It is a great place to spend a few hours.
