This course is almost impossible to find unless you know exactly where it is. It's tucked in along a series of strip malls at the busy intersection of Routes 6 and 114A. In addition, the owners go out of their way to display all of the attractions -- go-kart tracks and the game room -- besides mini golf.  Not surprisingly, the course seems to lack any upkeep whatsoever. Lots of bricks are missing, so prepared to get lots of exercise chasing errant balls. In addition, almost every green is littered with wood chips and other debris. 

 

The layout is interestingly unique. Most holes have multiple pathways, some of which lead to makeable deuces while others guarantee definite double-bogies or worse. Two holes make use of a bridge jump over a brook, and several holes include logs, which you can putt through as a shortcut. Every hole includes several strategically placed hills, all of which require absolute precision and proper speed.

 

A great putter will have a hard time breaking a 50 on this track. Children will be extremely frustrated by all of the breaks by the time they reach the 5th or 6th hole. 

If the owners wanted to put in a lot effort, they could have a decent course on their hands. As it is, though, the course deserves to continue being unnoticed.
