Very nice trip, it's a good place for kids they love to play with snow y riding the sleds
Bill Heppner
A driving range with a beautiful view - really nice

You have to pay for balls, not a great price but not breaking the bank either. They have turf to hit from at the moment, but there is space to hit from grass (but there wasn't any when we were there this weekend). Looks like the range is open to the public, but the course is semi private. The clubhouse is the next left up the road, you get the cart and drive down to this range about 3min

This place is for little kids between ages of 2 & 5. Anyone older will be disappointed by the kiddie sled & tube rides. There was only 1 baby bunny slope for tubing. If we had only know it was made for bambinos we would have not spent $40 a person to end up having our own sno ball fight with the 10 of us because we were so bored we were yelling Zippity Do Dah....out of our pie holes! Major disappointment and it's my fault for not doing enough research before hand.

Came in on a Saturday around 4pm and it wasn't very busy. Buy tokens at the front desk to get driving range balls. Just get them before 6pm, because they lock up the machine.

Overpriced place to play in the snow and sled down two very very small hills.
