Karin and Mandy played this course as a part of
O Street Mini Golf’s 4th Annual Winter Classic. The course was open exclusively for the
tournament, and it was a fantastic experience!
Not only was it a fun day of minigolf with like-minded enthusiasts, but
we also had the opportunity to meet the wonderful new course owners. The course was in good shape, despite it
being closed for the winter.
The nautical theming of the course was perfect
for the Jersey Shore. The windmill on
hole 16 was a unique take on a minigolf classic. There were a few holes that included an obstacle
to putt through, including an octopus and a couple
fish. These are often the parts of the
course that suffer the most damage, and the condition of these was
excellent. The carpets were also in good
shape. There are umbrellas on the course
providing shade, which is important for a summer attraction.
There isn’t really anything to criticize on this
course. There is limited space for
waiting between holes, so it could get crowded during the peak summer
season. There are a couple holes where
it is easy to go out-of-bounds, but it did not
distract from the enjoyment of playing the course.
Overall we highly recommend this course if you’re on
vacation at the Jersey Shore. The course is a fun tournament course and is
surely a fun family activity if you need a break from the sand and salt.
Update
The Putting Penguin played this course for the
second time in 2020 as O Street Minigolf’s $1000 Tournament, this time in
summer. The course was in excellent
condition. The seaside theming is
perfect for this Jersey Shore vacation spot.
Most holes only require two shots with the second short being relatively
short. Hole 18, a tree, is particularly
unique where a well-shot putt will roll down a ramp into proximity with the
cup.
We have no significant complaints about this
course. It is a little tight between holes,
especially when trying to distance in the midst of a
pandemic. Sometimes successful putts through an obstacle do not necessarily result in an
advantage, and the holes with boats on them can be frustrating. Ambidextrous putters will have an advantage
on this course as some shots are tight depending on if a putter is left or
right-handed. However, none of that
prevented us from enjoying the course.
Overall this course is not difficult and can be easily
enjoyed by the entire family. The owners
are clearly invested in this course and ensure a pleasant experience is had by
all. We highly recommend this course to
anyone who vacations or lives in the Avalon area.

Fairly easy course but
easy to go out of bounds on some holes. Nautical theming is appropriate for the
area and the course has some touches that add to the atmosphere like a fish
pathway leading to each hole & a photo op fish just outside the course. I
Near the ocean & pleasant staff. Can be hard to
find parking for this course.
