Parkland Putters

Classic spot, lots of charm, very family-friendly fun. Affordable too

This place is very run down, with a little upkeep and clean it wouldn't be terrible. We like trying out different putt putt courses so it was on the list.. we won't be returning.

We visit from a nearby county, and we continue to come back out of my own personal childhood nostalgia. This mini-golf course has a unique design layout with challenging holes. This rating, however, simply reflects deferred maintenance of the grounds, which likely comes based on their bottom line and the cost to upgrade. Some of the holes have significant wear and could be easily repaired. Some concrete steps could be a problem for younger kids or older adults, based on their size and how level they are. Hole 15 on the Center course had something obstructing the tunnel in the multi-level hole. I was able to reach in and pull out 4 golf balls, but there was still more stuck in there. Based on the leaves and other tree sediment on the grounds, this could be it. Lastly, the shared bathrooms were not very well kept, but that was what a family member shared. Do know that the young adults working there were both very friendly. We would like to continue coming back, but I'll refer to recent reviews before planning to do so with the hope to read about property improvements.

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars. We drove all the way from Bellevue, over an hour each way. And it was honestly great fun. One of the few places that my teenage daughter and my husband and I all enjoy. We started around 7:30pm. There are 4 courses of 18 holes each, which the guy explained as "Easy, Medium, Medium-Hard, and Difficult." The paths are mostly well marked with arrows, and each hole has a number so you know you're going in the right order. It's a great place for Covid fun because it's spread out. We decided to start on Medium. Maybe we're just not good at mini golf, but the course was quite challenging for us. Super fun, but a bit discouraging in places. For the 3 of us, it took about 45mins to get through the 18 holes. More than once, I managed to hit my ball hard enough to bounce out of the small concrete walls so I had to run and chase the ball before it escaped through the fence. (We also watched a couple playing through the Difficult course, which was kind of bonkers. Hills and twists and water hazards... My daughter wanted to play it but I chickened out.) We were having so much fun (even after we each took max strokes on a hole) that we decided to play the Easy course on their half-price deal. I think the Easy course is better described as a "straight and simple" course. Fewer turns and traps than the Medium course, but several holes had slopes that made them quite challenging. We found two different places over 18 holes where the slope caused our golf balls to hit each other. We each maxed out on a hole in the Easy course, but we also each got a hole-in-one so that was better than the Medium course. The real problem is the maintenance. We played until about 9pm, and the middle of the Easy course is poorly lit. There are several holes where you can tell that they patched only part of the turf, which means there are seams that get in the way of a smooth putt. And one particular hole on the Easy course is an actual safety hazard. I tried to walk the path of how to get to the hole, and the wood base under the turf was so soft that I rolled my ankle when I stepped on it. We had to skip that hole because of the badly torn turf carpet and the complete inability to get past the first hit. In all honesty, we'll definitely go back. The place was very fun, albeit more challenging than we expected. But I do hope they can get some of those holes repaired soon so I can update to 5 stars. :)

We took our 4 year old & had a great time. There were other groups, but it wasn't very busy. No waiting. They gave our daughter a blue ribbon & it made her weekend. There's coffee next door (I didn't try it). Negative-its very close to the freeway. That's the view, some people won't like that, but it really didn't bother us.
