Price on the site says $11 for a large bucket and they charge $17 in store. 40% markup. Range itself is a nice facility, trackman monitors are an awesome addition.

Completely new greens!! This course is not for the faint of heart. It’s pretty tough. We are avid mini golfers and this was challenging. Nice setting in the woods with natural rocks. A few twists that were neat. Would definitely recommend! Driving range and batting cages here look good but didn’t try them. They also have beer!!

Came here for mini golf and a guy was on the course our whole visit with a leaf blower. It was obnoxiously loud and he was blowing pollen/mulch around while we were on the course. Why are we doing landscaping during operating hours?? Also the online pricing said $7 per person but we were charged $20 for two adults? Also shrubs are completely overgrown and in the way of the greens. Not a fan, won’t be returning.

This is an amazing place. I have purchased several items in the past but went today and needed help with a club. While there, I decided to get a new club as well. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, courteous and helpful. They make the experience of going there enjoyable while going the extra mile to make you feel important even though they were extremely busy. I commend them and urgent anyone needing any golf equipment to avoid the hassle of looking around by going directly there and have all of your golfing needs taken care of.

This is a great mini golf place for those who don’t care much about themes and challenging holes. That’s not meant to be a bad thing, this course is just a bit simple. It’s definitely beautiful though, and with greens that look brand new. It’s a very clean course, it’s just small and if you’re good at mini golf or are 1 or 2 people, you could prob finish this course in 15 minutes. We went to the driving range after and got 65 balls for $14. We’re a bit pampered by the range near us in LI because 60 is $9, but it’s not a terrible price. Honestly, for a place with Trackman technology and an automated tee system, it’s a good price. It was like 90° today and the stalls are all in the sun, but most have space behind them with shade and chairs. Also, the cashiers were super friendly.
