I am giving a review on the mini golf course. We went to play today and on several holes the carpet is poor and needs replaced. There as even 1 hole that didn’t have carpet by the hole, a very large area. It would also be nice if they put numbers on the holes. This could be a wonder place but truly needs some TLC. We did enjoy our game though due to getting to spend time with our family.

Great fairways and greens! Might dew sweep the greens for the early morning group and roll the greens a couple more times in the week and they would be pure and even competitive with Stagg Hills greens. Love the attitude from the super independent of grounds there, guy is ALWAYS in a good mood and is SO personable. Said hi to him on hole one teebox and asked how the course was and he threw his hand at me and scoffed, yeah, I wouldn’t want to work the 4th of July either. Not even 20 seconds after we approached our second shot on #1 he was YELLING at us from 250 yards away to pick up our balls and move on! I absolutely loved his attention to our pace of play only 5 minutes in. Someone get this guy a raise!!!!

Played 9 holes and had a great time. It’s a significantly better course than I expected. Interesting holes, lost plenty of balls, greens and in fantastic shape and are challenging. Tee boxes are not what you might hope for, but for the price, there has to be something that’s not as good as your club. And we were always able to find a perfect spot to tee up on. They use rough well, and the grass used in the rough presents a real challenge. It’s well thought out and we used the “golf shot” app to make sure we had exact yardages from every tee shot. There is a warm up putting green and a driving range (with a school bus on it 😂). I would play this course a great deal based on the value.

Great facility and staff is friendly. Have the membership and it’s definitely worth it for what you get. Only drawbacks are the batting cages and the putt putt. Would love to see an upgrade for both. Batting cages are hit and miss on how they are working and the putt putt could use a good makeover. Doesn’t stop me from going because my kids enjoy it

I don't understand why there are so many critical reviews - I've had a wonderful experience at this facility & with the helpful staff. You get what you pay for, and there is tremendous value here for only $45 a month for the entire family. We don't use the workout area - it's very small and there isn't enough equipment. But I love that my teens can come here and use the outdoor recreation with their friends. We pop in as a family on the weekends and Its great that it's so close to our home.
