Harris Mini Golf is the Jekyll & Hyde of companies: while some of their courses are fun and creative, others are frustrating and boring. And then there is West End Creamery, a course that seems to fall somewhere in between, depending on what type of mini golfer you are.

Many of the holes are in upwards of 30 feet long. As a result, you usually end up hitting your tee shot "wicked" hard. The ball caroms off the bricks, and you hope that the ball stops in the vicinity of the hole. Luck is much more important than skill. While the cups are top-notch, the carpeting is horrible. It can be difficult to gauge the proper speed of a short putt, and it's impossible to read several of the greens.

If you don't take mini golf seriously, you'll probably enjoy the experience. If you play competitively and want to be rewarded for finesse shots, this course will frustrate you to no end. I guess it's fitting that the course is located on Purgatory Road.
