As far as atmosphere goes on this course, you can’t get much
of a better surrounding. The
Like about half the courses we play, creativity here relies on the use of different contoured land, small obstacles such as bricks and rocks, and the use of water. In particular, this course relies heavily on integrating its water system with ponds to avoid, streams to jump and waterwheels to roll your ball down. On about half the holes that use water, it is used as a penalty, whereas on the other half your ball will still end up on the carpet, albeit not in the greatest of locations.
On the whole, this course is on the difficult side. There are some easy holes and with a good string of luck or skill, it is quite possible to do well. Most holes have a couple of ways to approach them, giving you the choice between easy but possibly more strokes or hard with possibly less strokes. One particularly nasty hole had a cup on the top of a bump. Missing the cup still gave you a good run at the actual cup, but if you hit the first cup you were practically guaranteed a hole-in-one. The only real deduction is that there are a few areas in which one should hit the ball hard but doing so will likely result in hitting it off the mat because of the way the edge is designed.
All told, we ran across another good mini-golf. It definitely is one of the better courses we’ve played, although not quite as good as some of them. It’s only about 5-10 minutes down the road from Farmington Mini-Golf, and playing both those courses in the same day will surely provide a for some pleasant fun.
