Vitense Golfland is the perfect place to go with your family or on a date. The mini putt-putt course is a lot of fun and offers a variety of challenges. There are two different routes that you can choose from (Wisconsin or California). If you pay for both then you can do both courses. I have been going here since I was a little kid with my family (30 plus years). There is even a par 3 golf course as well too. I have done that a couple of times. In addition to the par 3 course and the mini putt-putt course there is an indoor mini putt-putt course. Do not forget to get a one or two scoops of the delicious Chocolate Shop ice cream on the way out. One of Wisconsin’s finest ice creams.

My college age son treated me to a bucket of balls. We shared some fries with a beer and hit some balls. A great bonding time.

Lovely driving range! Balls and foods are fairly priced regarding the quality of themselves, the service, and the atmosphere. Pizza was delicious, cozy sofa, friendly assistant. I really enjoyed the heaters above head as well, great for this season. Would come with my friend have a good time!

I'm pretty surprised their overall review score isn't higher because for my money, Vitense has hands down some of the most unique and fun minigolf courses around! Loved the variety and all the playful side elements! The place was packed even on a weekday evening, but that is just a testament to how much fun it is. After two rounds of minigolf, I also got myself a scoop of ice cream, and that was pretty great too.

We just had my daughter's first birthday at Vitense, and it could not have been a more wonderful experience! From the start, we worked with Allen who helped with every question and detail I had regarding the party (I had a lot)! He was timely with his responses and so professional. He walked me through the space, helped me with the menu and the logistics of people, timing, etc. On the day of the party, we had our own attendant named Tani who was so helpful, kind and attentive. She helped me order more food when we needed it, made sure the party room was clean and ready for set up, and she was really there for anything we needed. And the food! We had so many compliments from guests about how good the food was as well! We had to order more sliders because people were eating so many! The pizzas, fruit trays, pretzel bites, etc were SO yummy. We didn't know what to expect for food at a mini golf venue, but the kitchen rocked it. As always, the facilities were clean and fun, which was nice being stuck indoors for a February birthday party. Both party spaces were also beautiful and great options depending on your need and party size. Overall, it was such a nice experience, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to host a party!

Terrible service at ice cream stand. At least one of the 2 employees was doing nothing at any point in time. I ordered at the kiosk and immediately got a text saying my food was ready when clearly nothing was ready. 15 minutes later they called my name and presented us one sundae when we had ordered 3. Then we sat another 5 min while they very sloooowly made the other 2. Mini golf was fun however and my kids liked the ice cream when it finally did arrive. Would not order from here sgain

Fantastic experience for the whole family! They offer indoor mini golf and a driving range for rainy days, plus outdoor mini golf for when the weather’s nice. We made the most of it—starting on the par 3 course, then moving to the practice putting and chipping area, the driving range, indoor mini golf, and finally wrapping up with the California side outside. It was the perfect family outing! Pro tip: bring a change of clothes if you plan to tackle the California water hazards 🤣—my son got soaked and still wanted to keep playing!
