This is the first indoor course we've played during our two years of working the miniature golf scene and it turned out to be a decent course. Thanks to the fact that they don't have to deal
with the weather, the course is in great condition, with no seams or holes in the carpet. They use various different colors of carpeting to denote sand and water (a penalty for touching either) and with
scenes of golf courses painted on the walls, it gives you the feel of a tiny version of a real course. The course also tries to include the batting cage aspect of the building by having a replica of
Fenway Park's Green Monster on the 18th hole, which you must bank the ball of to get towards the cup. The course also features a lot of greenery for being indoors and also sports a small pool in the middle with some fish. It gives you the general feel of being outdoors without having to face the conditions. We played the course just after Christmas and it was still decorated for the holidays, Christmas tree and all.
It's not too difficult in general and a lot of the holes in the middle of the course are relatively the same, and frankly a little boring. A regular mini-golfer can easily get two's and aces on almost
every hole in this course. The toughest part of the course is that there are many areas, because of the width of the hole and the objects surrounding it, where footing is very awkward. The holes are also
all lined with plywood, which provides no bounce at all. It's frustrating, but it does make you try to plan your shots a little differently than normally. The course does offer a variety of different
colored balls including tye-dye and baseball ones to go with the theme.
This course is definitely worth playing once and definitely provides a good alternative on a rainy day or during the winter. The course wasn't too crowded when we went there during the winter, but there
seemed to be ample room for larger rainy-day crowds.
