This is the first
indoor course we’ve played during our two years of working the miniature golf
scene and it turned out to be a decent course.
Thanks to the fact that they don’t have to deal with the weather, the
course is in great condition, with no seams or holes in the carpet. They use various different colors of
carpeting to denote sand and water (a penalty for touching either) and with
scenes of golf courses painted on the walls, it gives you the feel of a tiny
version of a real course. The course
also tries to include the batting cage aspect of the building by having a
replica of
It’s not too
difficult in general and a lot of the holes in the middle of the course are
relatively the same, and frankly a little boring. A regular mini-golfer can
easily get two’s and aces on almost every hole in this course. The toughest part of the course is that there
are many areas, because of the width of the hole and the objects surrounding
it, where footing is very awkward. The
holes are also all lined with plywood, which provides no bounce at all. It’s frustrating, but it does make you try to
plan your shots a little differently than normally. The course does offer a variety of different
colored balls including tye-dye and baseball ones to
go with the theme.
This course is definitely
worth playing once and definitely provides a good alternative on a rainy day or
during the winter. The course wasn’t too
crowded when we went there during the winter, but there seemed to be ample room
for larger rainy-day crowds.
