This place has four different 18 hole courses to choose from in a pretty small space. I was really surprised when the lady said we had our choice of the four. Our deciding factor was which course had the least amount of people on it. That way we could take our time and have fun. This place was not exactly the best of set ups. In comparison to the other course in town this one was not very well done. All the holes were pretty much the same. They were very short and crammed into a small space. We had to go hunting for a ball or two as the fence wasn't so good either with huge gaps at the bottom just perfect for the ball to sneak through.
Andrew really enjoys playing. He listens to Jeff's advice and tries the practice shots but would rather just hit it and redo the shot if needed. He is a fan of the scoop shot where he scoots the ball along not actually hitting it. It was fun trying to tell him to hit the ball. He also is our switch hitter, he couldn't decide if he was going right handed or left. I think he started right and after a few holes switched to left. He could make a hole last forever if we let him. Never once did he complain and he had a great time.
Megan on the other hand is so competitive that if she isn't winning or doing as good as her Dad then she isn't having fun. It's one of those slow type of meltdowns where she gets quiet at first, then you start getting the stink eye from her, then if you try and say anything you get your head bitten off. I think this is our second mini golf outing as a family and her second meltdown. This is not her sport. She gets so into it that she feels if she muscles the ball it will do what she wants but of course it only makes it worse. It was a great time for one child but not so fun for the other. I don't think we'll be going on this type of outing again anytime soon. Some things just need some time and this is one of them for us. Since Jeff loves to golf I hope that we can go again in the future.
