Batter Up Batting Range

Sweet mini-golf, ice cream, nice batting cages. Mini-golf is a classic game. 18 holes (you lose the ball in the hole on 18!) and include the moving windmill and a water trap!

Outdoor batting range. I like that you buy tokens and can hit from 35-80mph pitches. My son likes to challenge himself to hit at higher speeds and try to hit line drives over the sheds where machines are. But some tokens, spend 15 minutes or an hour. Tokens don’t expire, come back another day. Softball machines and a small mini golf too. Cash only! I do wish they took other payment forms.

Ridiculous ownership decided it was more important to try and scam me out of $10, instead of continuing to make $40-$80 a week off of my business. All because he wanted to reprimand me for being ‘rude’ when asking for help with a broken machine. A bizarre situation over a few dollars, when I had barely gotten any swings in. Apparently the crime of lightly tapping on the window to try and get an employees attention is worth banning a good customer over. There was nobody there, and the machine was spinning and spinning so I took the shortest path of trying to get the employees attention. I am so, so sorry for bothering him, I instead walked around to see him instead of him walking over to me. I told him the machine was broken and he went and fixed it, I thought nothing more of the interaction. All I did next was inquire with the owner when he walked behind the machine about getting the tokens I lost when the machine broke down and the arm just kept spinning. I had put 5 in the machine, since there was nobody there at 10am on a Friday. I got only a few swings in before it broke down. I maybe got 20 more swings in when the employee fixed the machine. He told me you’re only allowed to put one token in, even though the more you put in the more pitches it throws. I did not know the unwritten rules so with nobody waiting I had put more than 1 into the machine: I was ready to keep swinging and move on when the owner graciously put the machine on for free, but then decided to reprimand me about my supposed conduct. Tapping on a window (again, a terrible crime in LI supposedly which I apologized to the young lad PROFUSELY when I realized it was a crime) putting more than one coin into the machines. I was not being rude, and it’s also not his place to reprimand me for asking a simple question. He said he doesn’t want my business, a macho move in front of the kid, so he won’t get it. Insanely fragile for a LI institution, and it’s a shame because I was enjoying giving them my hard earned money. I wouldn’t waste your money here either.

It's a solid place, but as a parent, i would appreciate simplified pricing for the batting cage tokens. They have a sliding scale dependent on the number of tokens purchased. It goes from $2.50/token down to $1.50 if you spend $100 upfront. Perhaps they could consider a weekly or monthly subscription, which would also encourage repeat visits and not make me feel like I'm being gamed. I still recommend it. It's just not a kind system.

The mini golf course is a bit run down. It's $8/game. But we felt rushed because there was a bunch of kids that was all up in our business. Was a bit annoying but it's not any fault of the facility. My son also used the batting cage. They DON'T PROVIDE HELMETS so you need to bring you own. There was a range of machines with varying pitching speeds which was nice. It token is $2.50 for 10 pitches.
