Lots of range options, from Mats Open/Covered and Grass (open) reasonably priced and super nice staff on hand.

I had a great time there. Everything in good shape and nice holes. And I have never liked mini golf. I changed my mind! Will be back.

What a joke. Do NOT come here for putt putt. I was shocked at how degraded and abandoned the course is. There are leaves and debris scattered everywhere. It looks haunted. The "green" is torn to shreds. There's trash and beer bottles littering the area. The water is stagnant and filled with algae. It's like a third-world country. There's a large snake skin sitting on a rock. Thankfully, we did not see the snake. There's poison ivy EVERYWHERE. There's even some hanging down over the walkway at face level... like biological warfare. Also, most of the holes are not numbered. About halfway through, we found a bunch of numbered stones lying near each other like a small graveyard. And why not? Might as well have the numbers scattered among the beer cans and snake skin. On a positive note, this place provided a lot of laughs for us while we tried to navigate a course without numbers while avoiding poison ivy and snakes. We didn't finish the game because this place was so bad. We just had to get out of there.

Do not go to Smileys for putt putt☹️ The course has huge ripped places/ missing turf at every hole, the areas where water is supposed to be are filled with algae, weeds, etc and even the numbers for each hole were piled up in a stack in the weeds. We paid $17 total to play.... they should have paid us $17 to play there 😆 The gentleman at the front area/pro shop was very nice and polite though.
