3 weeks agoWith my son on Spring break, we visited this place. It's a good spot to spend a couple of hours with an activity outside. The two courses are fun, we enjoyed them a lot. There's no/hardly any recycling bins for your empty water bottles.

2 weeks agoSpeaking of the arcade only - Old, outdated, broken arcade games are not serviced. Very hot, AC system does not compensate for all the arcade machinery. Will be going to Bowlermo across the street from now on. Much better and maintained machines, way better for and service.

a month agoWe went for a birthday party for one of my son's friends. It was awesome. It was a lot of joy to play golf they also have arcades with games. But their games is very expensive. So I would just recommend to enjoy the golf

a year agoThere are two 18 wholes courses. You can play one or both. Took us around 1.5 hours to finish 36 holes on a Wednesday evening. There are less people and no wait time between wholes. It is a very fun event to spend time with friend 😄

9 months agoDifficult to find the entrance as you have to go through the arcade. There are two courses here, both are good and take a while to complete. Had fun.
