The range itself is amazing, I love it. The par 3 course is beautiful and well maintained. The mini golf course is top notch. The only issue I have with this place right now is driving 30 minutes to get here after work just for the shop to be closed an hour early every time and now I can’t use toptracer. That is very annoying that they are supposed to close at 7 but close down an hour early every time and I can’t play.

We came here for miniature golfing after finding a great deal on Groupon for 4 of us to play. All the employees that were inside were very friendly and helpful. They had a new employee they were training and he was super nice and looked eager to learn. The course itself looks like it has just been redone. We have been here before but the turf looked new this time. They also had the water running this time (our previous visit it was off). All the kids had lots of fun. Of course does well and they can afford, it would be awesome to have some shade, like a canopy of some sort like they have at parks. I believe it will significantly increase traffic during summer months. Maybe even some misting system. It’s really hot and the sun is pretty scorching. By the 12th hole the kids wanted to leave. It was a cooler day but the sun was so piercing. The course seemed well maintained. My girls were terrified to use the bathroom. There was cobwebs and spiders all over the bathroom. Maybe some attention to that or maybe some bug spray would be amazing. Beside the small issues, we will return since the course and employees are great.

Great family time with little to no drama. Located on the side of Rt. 2 in the Park, its easy to get in and out of. Staff is friendly and customer service is good to go. Balls are cheap and the facilities are modern and well kept.

A proper range but the par 3 course is in need of some TLC. It's difficult to tell distances because plaques are missing from the holes. Greens are like putting on a regulation fairway, in desperate need of maintenance. The tee boxes are driving range mats. All of them are decrepit and should be replaced. The facility does have mini golf which is fun for the family. The location is also convenient, right off the highway.
