    This is the last hole on the miniature golf course. Everything here is themed around pirates and pirate ships
    Michael I.

    My wife and I had a date night and we decided to play some miniature golf. I decided to go here since I always enjoyed it during my younger years. We had a great time! The place wasn't busy probably due to coronavirus. It was nice for us to finally get out of the house and have an activity to do. Staff here was very friendly! We played 18 holes of mini golf, and tried out the batting cages. It was a great time without breaking the bank.

    A very fun place for outings with the family and friends, which is open April through October. Funplex offers Adventure Miniature Golf, Go Kart Speedway, Mini Go Karts, Bumper Boats, Bankshot Basketball, Batting Cages, Rock Climbing, Bungee, Gyroscope, and Bouncy Bounce. Each attraction has a separate charge, but you can do everything with the $40 Funcard (about the same price for each separate attraction added up). For specific details, visit http://www.funplexfunpark.com/ I've been here several times over the years with groups of friends and on dates. We'd play rounds of miniature golf ($5.75 adults/$3.75 kids) on Mystic Lagoon on a warm summer evening and then head over to Lickety Split's for cool refreshing ice cream treats afterwards. What a blast with lots of memories! Can't wait to have another group outing soon!

    This is a fun place. Now, let me begin, by saying that I visited for this very first time as a girl's night out to play mini-golf. I wish I had known about this place when my son was small. It's a charming, small amusement park type place. If you remember the old Hoffman's you will get the picture (though, it's smaller than that was.) They have go karts, bounce houses, fun giant blow up balls that kids get into to "walk on water", 18 hole mini golf, trampoline and more. They also have a snack shack with burgers, hot dogs, soft drinks, ice cream. The prices for things were also very reasonable (cheap!) Fun place to go if you are a kid or (like me and my friends) if you just like acting like one once in a while.

This is already my fourth visit here this season, and I've been coming to Control Tower Ice Cream for years. It never disappoints. They have a huge variety of both soft serve and hard ice cream flavors, along with a ton of sundae options. Portion sizes are very generous too, both for sundaes and cones. Today I had the Chocolate Overload Sundae with Moose Tracks ice cream. It came with delicious hot fudge, little peanut butter cup pieces in the ice cream, Oreo crumbles, whipped cream, sprinkles, a cherry, and even a fun size Hershey bar on top. So good. While I was there the people in line in front of me got slushes that looked very much like bomb pop flavors. I bet there's awesome! Almost changed my choice but I stuck with my original sundae choice. I've also had their brownie sundae in the past, and that was excellent too. Trust me when I say a regular size is already pretty large. The large is enormous. This is probably my favorite ice cream place in the area, with Kurver Kreme right behind it. Another thing I really like is how quickly they move people through. Even when there's a line, I've never had to wait very long to order or get my ice cream. They also have go-karts and batting cages, which makes it a fun place overall. The go-karts aren't open until May 16th, but it's nice having those attractions there. 5 stars.

    What a fantastic golf course! My friend and I have tried just about every mini golf course within…read more90 minutes of Albany and this is one of the best. The greens are kept in perfect shape with no ruffled turf, loose bricks, piles of leaves, etc. The (very blue) waterfall was working and added ambiance. Scattered throughout the course are interesting pirate vignettes and facts, and the caves and bridges added to the experience. The course itself is a bit different from most others. Many courses add artificial challenges (sand bunkers, gravel areas, missing sidewalls near water, windmills, etc.) to make it difficult. Here, every hole is straightforward. And most of them are short. Therefore, it is best to approach it as each hole could (should?) be doable as a hole-in-one. And I got two, my friend got another two, and everyone around us was getting them. Does that mean the course is too easy? No, not at all. But, it isn't a course where you should be taking more than 2-3 putts to get it in the cup. There are no dogleg holes, etc. which add length. Some of the holes have fun twists. I won't give away the surprises, but there were several areas that led to good (and bad!) unexpected results. Play it out and you will see what I mean. The staff were friendly, and they had at least six different sized putters making it possible to get the perfect fit. The prices ($13) were certainly reasonable and comparable to other courses. It was packed on Saturday on a holiday weekend, but because the holes are so short everything kept on flowing nicely. Overall, a wonderful course.

And then, poof! There it is! Announced with a National Park-style sign, a themed home-made labor of love based on the legends of Rip van Winkle. It is impossible, simply impossible, to get a more authentic and original and well-situated theme for a course. The holes themselves are homespun -- could use some maintenance and a few cases redesign -- but that is part of the charm. The fact that it's free to play makes it extremely difficult to complain about this aspect of it. The amenities are very relaxed -- a bar, coffee, and a souvenir shop which seemed to be staffed in an irregular rotation -- and I only regret we were there on such a busy day that it was hard to get the attention of any of the staff (staff? owners? auteurs?) I've never been to a mini-golf where you could sit in a chair in the middle of a roaring brook between holes. There's no cell phone service here, near as I can tell, which (a) may account for the low number of reviews, and (b) is a feature, IMHO. You can imagine the sense of isolation and wonder of the old Washington Irving tales from 200 years ago pretty easily without your magical screen functioning.

    My friend and I came here as part of our mini golf tour, and we were not disappointed. While it is…read more45 minutes from Albany, it is quick highway travel and we soon found ourselves surrounded by cornfields, trees, and hills. It felt like we were in the middle of nowhere, and it was very peaceful. The course is $10.50 a person, but that includes UNLIMITED play for that day. So, it turns out to be a good value if you want to play multiple rounds. The holes are pretty simplistic, but many present multiple paths to the cup including some hidden tubes and channels. If you aren't familiar with the course, I would recommend scoping out each hole before putting. It is a basic course scenery wise: no water hazards, no real sand traps (just gray colored carpet which matches the rest of the green fairway), no jumps, no windmills, etc. There was an intersting tunnel and covered bridge which you played through, and a few other novelty holes with multiple staggered greens that broke up the monotony. That being said, we really enjoyed it. It was more strategic than we first thought, and the cups were for the most part fair (they didn't stick out of the ground causing frustrating rim-shots that plague other courses). All the trees/hills/rocks made it impossible to see the whole course from one place, which isolated us and allowed us to feel like we were the only ones there (until that group of kids caught up... we let them play through). As an aside, the owner woman was extremely friendly and dished out a good scoop of Hershey's ice cream too! This was a fun course.

The complex includes bungee jumping and a simple but nice driving range, plus what looks like a very nice Par-3 golf course. You can rent golf clubs for the Par 3, and for both the mini-golf and par 3, you pay once and can play all day. There's a basic snack bar with sketcy-looking hot dogs and ice cream, three sad arcade games, and one actual-working pinball machine in the snack shack. There is also a picnic pavilion, although this seems to be rental only. This review, as ever, is only for the mini-golf portion. I note there's a go-kart place on the same drive, but it's run as a completely separate business with different hours. If you want to combine activities, as we did, it's tricky because the go-kart place is run as a side business and the hours are a bit erratic. Pricing is simple: $6 for 5 years old and up, free for 4 and under, one price lets you play all day. Bring the scorecard back to the clubhouse to get a fresh ball and scorecard after hitting the ball into the outhouse on Hole 18. This is a mostly putt-only course, with a few hazard holes that have a little bit of a theme to them. Obstacles are mostly rocks and hills/dips; a few former sand traps have been replaced with painted astroturf, which looks really tacky. It shows the signs of some originality but at least some of the holes are cookie cutter. The holes are on a paved concrete path, surrounded by nice flowers, but make sure you turn left to start out - the holes aren't marked well, with no flags and only an embossed number in the concrete for each hole to tell you where you are. The setting, as noted, is absolutely lovely: there's a farm silo nearby, mountain views in all directions, and a nice lake. There's a creek running into the lake but there was no water running into it. Very disappointingly, there was what looks like a watercourse in part of the course, at least a fountain-mountain, that was dry, and even if there was water running they didn't incorporate water into any of the holes. A mini-golf course with no water hazards is a real waste, IMHO, and given there's natural water here, this is especially sad. The holes weren't terribly challenging, and a number of them had problems with wear on the astroturf surface, including a few with very annoying seams that actually went through the hole (see picture) that made them difficult plays. That said, the course was swept and blown of debris, and the staff were very nice and accommodating. Best holes are #9 (a covered bridge you can walk under), #11 (a deceptive three-tiered hole that had us wondering where our balls had gone), and #15, a walk-through fibreglass "cave" sponsored by nearby Howe's caverns. There's ads/sponsorship for some of the holes, but only the Howe's cavern hole is related to a theme at all; a pity, since the Schoharie Valley offers history from the French and Indian War to Hurricane Irene that easily lends itself to mini-golf themes. #18 Is an "outhouse" where you subtract strokes from your score for hitting it into a skee-ball like target, with the ball disappearing; no free-game-for-hole-in-one, but since it's play-all-day it doesn't matter that much here. There are three two-tiered holes, which is fun, but on none of the holes where there's a "trick shot" are you rewarded with a hole in one. I'm quite torn about the rating here, because the course itself as a course is only a very average three, and wiithout the water features it's a bit plain. The maintenance is also only average, the nice daily maintenance countered by worn turf and bad seams. But it's a very nice outdoors setting, off the road, and at $6 for play all day it's a pretty decent price if you play twice. But still, you will get bored about halfway through the second round. We're on the fence between three and four stars, so will give it a nudge to four based on kind staff, with the understanding it's a middle of the road mini-golf course among the region's offerings if judged on pure playing.
