This course definitely wasn’t
what we were expecting when we entered the place. Unlike many indoor courses which are made of
a lot of plywood and 2x4s, this course was designed and built just like an
outdoor course, then placed inside a greenhouse to give it an outdoors feel,
even in the middle of a snowstorm (that’s when we were there). Being in a greenhouse the temperature control
was very good and keeping with the gardening theme the course had excellent landscaping. The only drawback was that in some sections
it used peat chips, which stuck in your shoes when trying to stand off the
course, then tracked onto the greens.
However, before we could even mention it to the owners, they said they
were in the process of changing all the off course areas over to river rocks
instead. The other couple items we noted
were that there were some low overhangs in places due to it being in a
greenhouse, so watch your head and they had flags in the cups which is more just
a personal dislike of ours. The few obstacles
that were on the course didn’t seem to give you much of an advantage by going
through them and there were a couple more interestingly designed holes on the
course. (Hole #9 is a crazy hole,
requiring excellent choice of speed).
This course is definitely
worth stopping by, especially if you need something to do on a
rainy/snowy/otherwise ugly day. The
people are very friendly and the course has a great atmosphere to it.
2010 Update
This course had declined
slightly since the last time we played it.
There was some wear on the carpets and the water running through the
course was disgusting (a very nasty yellow/brown, which looked awful in the
fountain). The course did remove the
flags from the cups and put them on the bricks, which was nice way to keep them
without them interfering. We also
noticed that the course seemed a little tighter than our previous play, but
that could have been because there were significantly more people playing. We still recommend playing this course,
especially if you are looking for a place on an inclement weather day.

This course was reviewed about 15 years ago here as
Tee-rarrium . From reading those reviews I think the business must have changed
hands because this course was beautifully done & used the indoor space quite
creatively. It was not a difficult course but was fun to play & fills a
need as New England lacks a large amount of indoor mini-golf options for
winter. Seemed short on staff (the new “normal”) but the staff they did have
was very accommodating. Also for anyone who cares about other amenities this
was the best soft serve ice cream I have ever found at a mini-golf. Made on the
premises & very generous portions for the price.

This course is unique in the fact that in is in a
greenhouse. It was neat to be inside where it's warm, yet still feel like
you're outdoors. The greens were well kept and I commend them for that.
However, the holes left much to be wanted. There was not much imagination in
all but a few of them. On top of that, the holes were much too easy. I played 2
rounds and got hole-in-ones on #7 and #9 both times. These holes were far too
easy. It's still a fun course to play
and worth the $6, but I prefer a more challenging course.
Round#1 score: 40 Round#2 score: 36
