We were here two weeks ago for a birthday party and it was on a Saturday and I hate weekends at places like this. Thankfully, everything went smoothly. The lines for the rides moved well, the lines on the golf course weren't bad. The food was hot for our lunch and the drinks were cold. The staff was very friendly. All in all I will be back!! read more

Golf N' Stuff - Amusement Parks Near Me - Ventura, California

Why I recommend it is because it's really fun and there's a lot of a kids food and a lot of stuff to entertain and that you could Ernest stuff from the arcade read more

Went here on Friday evening on a date. We had sooooo much fun. Staff was very professional and friendly. The bathroom was very clean and every ride was disinfected after each use. Such a fun and great experience. Soooo happy that they're open and I can't wait to go back... read more

Went to a birthday here and Diana O made sure everything was perfect! Everyone had a great time, highly recommend.

I think there's a dude who genuinely enjoys working here. & in no way shape or form, am I talking badly about him in. I'm honestly stoked for him. Sucks that he thought I wasn't enjoying the Bumper Boat ride, but I was just exhausted from spinning in circles & dabbing (dance move, not the other thing). What I'm trying to say is.. the world needs more people like him. Talk about Excellent Customer Service. read more

Just visited with friends and had a blast! The staff were incredibly friendly, the games were fun and super clean, and the mini golf course was so fun and expansive! We loved chatting with Nathan P especially! Would love to return soon!! :) read more

David B. Your owner comments throughout this page are so unprofessional. Do yourself a favor and look into the proper way to respond to negative online comments. My review was honest but I would have given your business another try in time. After your rudeness (and reading your accusatory comments on other's reviews) I never will. Lastly, it doesn't matter WHERE the scent is coming from. It smells awful at your golf course. You shouldn't be so defensive when reviewers mention it. read more

So much fun and good prices on tokens. Fir $10 you get 48 tokens and most games are 2 tokens. We came here on a rainy Thursday afternoon so there was hardly anyone there. We darted around the arcade like children playing our favorite games. They dont give you many tickets or maybe we werent that good. I loved it and cant wait to go back. I wouldnt mind trying their outdoor activities when the weather is nice. They have go carts, bumper cars, mini golf and bumper boats. read more

Per your request: August 16, 2014 11:00-1:00pm was the time of our visit. We used a Groupon as well. 15 mins of fame? Honey, I don't need 15 mins of fame. You might get it from your response, however, I leave plenty of honest GREAT reviews for businesses who are deserving of it. There will be no apology posted as this was our families experience at your facility and the details I provided were accurate and not over exaggerated. Your carpet is worn and dirty, and during our visit, there WAS garbage all over it. I suggest you also look at your water ponds, because while we were there at our visit, they were not as you describe. There was one area that was NOT on, yet NOT empty either, and the water was dirty and gross... If you use chlorine, as you so say you do, you must not be using enough of it. Your gaming situation shouldn't be a burden to the patrons. On our particular visit, there were other patrons just like us who weren't receiving their tickets, yet there was the 1 employee behind the prize counter who couldn't leave there, and the others in the "food" area that could have cared less about anything going on in your establishment besides their own conversation. The customer shouldn't have to wait because the employees do not have their act together. As a family of five, this was not an over exaggeration of our experience and trip at your establishment. This was an honest and detailed explanation of our visit. Businesses do have their "off" days, however if they have an "off" day, its shouldn't be at the expense of the paying customer. A great business shouldn't have to "stand up for themselves", because great business' have their acts together and provide great service and a great establishment. read more

I actually really like golf n stuff and have a good time any time I've given them my business. Granted the arcade does seem a bit outdated but I've never experienced anything of the sort that most reviewers are commenting on. However, I'm quite appalled at the owner/managers responses to the negative reviews. Reading the blatant disregard for customer service he has and obvious inability to take criticism makes me not want to return and bring my business. I don't feel that every person with a complaint wants something "free" and most people don't feel brave hiding behind a computer/keyboard. I think in this age of social media most people, such as myself, will take to review sites to have some insight on where they're spending their money. Shame on you... I await your demeaning and condescending response to an otherwise happy customer. FYI bad reviews don't normally keep customers away, but your nasty attitude will. read more

This place is fucking stupid. They didn't let my son in even though he was at 40" tall clearly.

My boyfriend and i were looking for a fun date night and we stumbled upon this fun place. We got there kind of late so we were hoping all the attractions were still open. Luckily, they were. We started off with put put golf, it wasn't too expensive and the course was really nice and fun. It was pretty lengthy too. It can get backed up because there's a lot of people playing at once but everyone was respectful and didn't rush the players ahead. We did some go kart racing following the game of golf. There are about 8 cars and you go pretty fast on the course. There are some arcade games located inside as well to give you more gaming options. There if a concession stand with the usually pricey arcade-ish food. We had just went to dinner so i did not get a chance to taste the food. I had a great time, there were no long lines and my boyfriend and i enjoyed ourselves. read more

Total crap. Many greens are ripped and/or on horrible shape. Most of the games are broken and the tickets games do not give you tickets. A total rip off. Stay away read more

Opening in 1974 - this amusement park has been around all my life. Although I hadn't been there in 20 years(?), I got the hair brained idea to take my dad for a make-shift Father's Day before I headed back to San Diego. Complete with two miniature golf courses, bumper cars, bumper boats, gas powered indy cars and a full arcade, Man, this place has not changed one bit.! (aside from the hippo and elephant that grace the blue dyed water that runs throughout the park.) Golf N' Stuff offers family entertainment for fairly low prices. As we walked in, the smell of popcorn wafted through the air, the sound of children laughing and screaming surrounded us and the determined look on my dad's face to beat me was the same face I used to see all those years ago... We got our golf clubs and hit the course... First hole - I actually got a birdie, while dad made par...impressive right? lol... I guess so, if you're 8! But even though, I had a great start... dad kicked my butt in the end! I guess that was fitting since it WAS our Father's Day! Next up, the Indy cars - for a race I've been preparing for since I was 16! We both got the front row of cars and the green light hit! I was waved out of the gate first - and although the pedal was to the metal (literally!) my car spit and sputtered, but didn't go nearly fast enough! I was in the clear though, because dad's row or cars was the third row released.... so I was way ahead of the game! Throughout the "race" I came super close to lapping my dad.... lol! Cheating? maybe. Fulfilling? Absolutely! Okay, so it wasn't REALLY a race... but it was sure fun seeing my dad on the other side of the track the whole time. The best part of the day was we laughed and giggled making stupid competitive remarks the whole time. Really - the BEST part was just spending some time with my dad. Something I don't get to do often, and I NEVER get to do it without others around... or the tv on... or the phone ringing. We've since decided to make it our annual Father-Daughter date day for Father's Day and I am already looking forward to next year. read more

It was our first time at this location. Looks exactly like the Norwalk location. Not too crowded and they give out free golf rounds to school reward programs for reading. They have bumper boating, bumper cars, laser tag and an arcade. We will be back. read more

Golf N' Stuff - Amusement Parks Near Me - Ventura, California

See all

FOOD Overpriced. Water prices are equivalent to Disneyland. The entertainment is not. SERVICE Lousy at best. The employee we had the unfortunate luck of dealing with had issues and was very rude. Customer service is so important in this day and age. Pencils needed sharpening. ATMOSPHERE The grounds have been remodeled (and by that I mean painted) but some of the greens had wearing. The course we did was very repetitive. Arcade seemed to have updated machines but because of our poor experience we didn't stay to try them out. Took our business elsewhere. Giving one star because of the poor customer service. This is the type of place you only revisit because you forgot how bad of an experience you had the previous time. read more

We took our Mother here for her birthday last year and had a wonderful time. The place is a bit beat up, but it has been around for 4 decades (seems like I've seen it off the 101 my entire life!). It did seem like quite a few of the video games didn't work correctly, but the employees were nice enough to refund if you went up and told them about it (but odd they didn't then put a sign on it to warn others). We played miniature golf mostly, the course was in pretty good shape, although for as much as they charge you'd think it would be perfect. Still, a fun time and not a lot of places like it in the area. read more

I pulled in there with mechanical issues and I was treated so disrespectful by the the staff that im.writing a review to warn others this isn't managed or staffed with friendly non judgemental or the understanding kind people read more

This review is of the mini-golf courses only. A group of 5 of us went here on Friday after the bowling alley next door tried to get us to pay $20 each to bowl. Like hell, lane jockeys. The courses are so much fun! Really intricate and well maintained. The themes of some of the holes are such a blast-an old west mine shaft, awesome castle, a mission. We had a great time, and places like this that were 'so dorky' in high school actually provide a lot of fun when you're in your less self-centered mid twenties. Don't know about the "N' Stuff" but the Golf is great! read more

Before I moved to California, my family and I used to come visit my grandparents in Oxnard every couple of years. We also had family in Santa Barbara, so once every trip, we'd drive up there for a day. My grandmother insisted we be back for dinner, which was at 4:30 if she had her druthers. So, in order to avoid having to eat so early, we'd stop on the way home at Golf n Stuff for a round. I had never seen a mini-golf place like it. Any other "course" had tiny, unimaginative structures. But Golf n Stuff had soaring, full size buildings that we could actually walk through. Plus, there was an arcade and snack bar. A couple of friends and I went there last year. I'm sure we stuck out a little from the families and teenagers, but it was a hoot. Challenging holes and pinball afterwards. Nice way to spend an evening. read more

This place has quality putt putt, while not an officially sanctioned putt putt facility it still adheres to the fundamental spirit of the game, the sense of joyously putting around firmly entrenched. All and all: a good time for good people. read more

I was in Ventura for work and saw Golf N' Stuff from the highway. Giant castle with mini golf? I'm already sold! I went with a few work buddies and we were all impressed with this place. The greens were very well kept and there were some challenging shots! The prices were very reasonable as well. Once we were done with golf, we checked out the arcade. I was also impressed with the amount of games and they even had a bunch of older machines too! That's always nice to see, since arcades with classic games are so hard to find these days. There was one machine that ate two of my tokens, I went up to one of the staff and explained what had happened and she was happy to give me back my tokens. This is always so nice to see from staff, I can remember growing up back in the early 90's and if a machine ate your money, it was too bad for you. Not so with Golf N' Stuff! Also, this place has pinball machines! I collect machines myself and was a bit disappointed in how the machines were kept. Transformers was so dirty you couldn't read the writing on the playfield. Lord of the Rings was also very dirty and The Simpsons kept getting the ball stuck and the left flipper was intermittent. The best playing machine was Pirates of the Caribbean, although it could use a good cleaning as well. I'm not sure if Golf N' Stuff owns these machines or another operator, but it would be nice to see these things getting cleaned and adjusted more often. Anyways, I was very happy with this place and I will be coming back and pumping more money in the pinball machines in six months! read more

I haven't been here in years..And it's still fun. And I'm actually pretty good at mini golf. Forgot how fun it is. Theres lots of new games. And they still have some of cf the old ones.. read more

Start by saying the mini golf is very very fun. We like it a lot. The carpeting in the golf area is hit or miss but generally a really good time. The staff is awful. I have read a response by the owner/manager about the staff. Does not matter dude. Even if it is their first job they should have at least been taught how to be decent to others. Again, does not matter their age! "Manager" was a total jerk when we were buying golf tickets but it really does not matter why. The place has jerk employees who could care less about anything. The arcade is gross, covered in trash. Never been cleaned. Beverages are overpriced; $6 for one small Sprite and a bottled water. When the machine we were playing hit a jackpot the employee came over after several minutes of standing around and basically opened it, un-jammed the reel, and walked away, Could care less if we got the correct amount of tickets. I will go back but have piss poor expectations. Mini golf is fun. Wish they would get rid of ash trays on every hole, Who smokes with kids around? read more

Ahh, Golf N' Stuff. During my high school days, the place to go on the weekends. The place to get your arcade fix on. I never went for miniature golf, but always went for the video games and go-karts. Alas, safety became an issue in the late 90's, early 00's that I stopped going. When you need armed security guards at a place for the "family" to enjoy, I'd rather not go. Overall, safety issues aside, it can be a good, fun experience without the rowdy kids ruining it for the rest of the patrons. read more

I was skeptical about a place called "Golf N' Stuff", thinking that it would just be a lone miniature golf place with mediocre food and lots of loud, screaming children. Well, it's a miniature golf place. That also has GO KARTS! I was excited just about that - however you need to wear proper shoes so be forewarned: no flip flops, I learned this the hard way and was sad that I missed out of my favorite childhood activity. It has a sweet arcade with skeeball, 4 way air hockey and a host of other useless time wasting games to play when you're on summer vacation and have nothing else better to do. The food is just unhealthy junk food, nothing super special. The entire place is really nothing super special but it's a great way to entertain your kids. read more

The mini golf course is in poor condition. But what kills it is the arcade. Game machines don't register tokens put in to play. No assistance when issue brought to their attention. Hopefully won't need to come back ever. read more

I love going to Golf N' Stuff and have since I was very young. The place isn't a' thrill park' (like Magic Mountain) but it does have a lot of fun things for kids to do - go karts are always awesome. Plus, mini-golf really never gets old for any age. Golf N' Stuff is also one of the last video arcades in the city and their arcade is huge! read more

I'm just a big kid. Picked up the girlfriend, got a bite to eat and headed for putt-putt golf. Nice place. Lots of kids during the day. Teens at night. We didn't eat the food and we jumped on the bumper boats after our round. NO complaints...Just a nice quiet date night. read more

Good ol' Golf N' Stuff. It has only aged since I started going there, but the people haven't--they remain minimum wage teenagers who seem to genuinely hate their job, or at least you being there. But it's a place of nostalgia, as you can seen from come of the other reviews. If you go on a nice weekend day, plan on being surrounded by kids and stuck behind a family of 8 who make par seem like an impossibility. If you go during the night, plan on being surrounded by teenagers. You'd better really like teenagers if you go on a Friday or Saturday night. Some of them might even bring their kids. But it maintains 4-star status, because it's not a Boomers and is still fun. I also remember birthday parties there, going there on dates in high school, and more recently taking my niece and nephew there, or on a cutesy date with my fiancee. read more

This is a great family friendly place to go for not just mini golf but also go karting, bumper cars, bumper boats, laser tag, and the arcade. It's definitely got a retro feel and that's what I loved most about it. This is old school fun and a great place to take the family where everyone can find something to do that they enjoy. I will definitely be back! read more

Came here tonight for the first time. The golf was fun but the corse is a bit beat up and the lakes were not filled for some reason. Thats not my issue. My issue is with the staff. So there is conflicting signs for masks. One says you have to wear one the other says its optional. Well when I walked in I saw staff not wearing one and the sign so I thought ok no masks cool. So I walked in after doing golf and tried to get a drink from the snack bar. The oh so lovely teenager working behind the counter tells me to wear a mask. I then said that's not what the sign says outside and I pointed to a man behind the counter not wearing one. She just turned and walked away. Didn't take my order or nothing. So I stood there and waited till someone came by and I asked for a Manger. Well isn't it my luck the gentleman behind the counter that wasn't wearing a mask was the Manger. This dude should not be a Manger ever. He has 0 customer service skills. So this dude walks up to me with you guessed it a mask on. I explained to him how his little preteen employee was so rude to me for no reason then walked away. He just stood there and gave me no response. Then he said his excuse why he wasn't wearing a mask was cause he was "on lunch" called him out on that b.s. cause when we walked in I saw him not wearing one. Then we went golfing for an hour or more. So this dude doesn't care. If you are the owner of this place I would highly recommend you have a chat with all employees on how customer service works. This was my first time here and my last. I will find another place to spend my money. Not like anyone cares right. I doubt I'll even hear from someone else. read more

Golf N Stuff is an awesome throwback of what family entertainment was in the 80s. The arcade is clean & kept up to date... meaning there are current and working games. I've been to similar places where the games were literally from the 80s and 1/2 broken. Don't get me wrong, the there's nothing like the originals, but it's kind of refreshing to have new and relevant games. Really loved the 4 player air hockey. You even get bigger prizes compared to other ticket vending arcades. Also, the golf course has 2 separate 18 hole courses. It's $9.50/person to play, which I thought was expensive until I saw how cool and well maintained the courses were. Haven't tried the rides yet, but looking forward to it. We are lucky to have this in our back yard. It's a fairly priced, clean, fun family entertainment. It out ranks it's counterparts at other piers and cities. read more

This place needs some major maintenance. I think a few buckets of paint and a good cleaning crew can really bring this place to life. I'm giving this place 3 stars because all the staff we encountered were friendly and very helpful. My family went this past Saturday and overall, they had a blast. The only complaints everyone had were the smelly bathrooms and the dirty grounds. There's not much to expect from their food menu and I think a Tombstone pizza for $10 was a bit too much and small sodas at $3 with no refill is pretty mind boggling to me. If it wasn't for all the smiles from the staff this place is probably only worth 2 stars. read more

Tons of people not wearing masks. Huge birthday parties with irresponsible adults (also not wearing masks), and a bunch of kids running around with no face coverings whatsoever. No staff out anywhere to enforce, but people who know how to read should be able to read rules and know that they are not above the rules and to follow them whether they like it or not. Disappointed is an understatement. read more

I actually have never been here for mini golf... basically just the arcade...which is okay. Nothing special... but it's fun nonetheless. +1 for Mario Kart! Yes, I could just play it at home... but nothing beats being Toad in public! :) hahaha. Yes, I love Toad! :) Anyway, I also love the old "photo-booth". While, I am a fan of photo-booths in general... (hello! hidden place to smooch!) this one is particularly "old-fashioned". It's a plain and simple blue machine...which doesn't seem too old... but the black and white photos look really vintage! Love that! I have done the go-karts a couple times and always seem to lose! How is that possible!? read more

Let me start off by saying I love to bring my daughter here because we love video games and she loves to get the prizes with her tickets. On 7/2/18 we decided to ask more family to come to play games and golf. My cousin ordered some nachos and they loved them. They had enough cheese for all of the chips. After we spent $65.00 on tokens we were done with games. I wanted a snack because we were going to play golf then order a pizza after. I bought a pretzel and it was way too hot, when it cooled down it was chewy. Come to find out it was microwaved and it was obviously microwaved for too long. I'm not one to complain at all or return things but I couldn't eat a pretzel that was rubber. When I returned it and asked for something else they said I can have chicken but since we planned on ordering pizza later I didn't want that. I asked can I just get some nachos instead? (Since my cousin had that earlier I knew that would be good) They told me that I would have to pay $1.50 extra. Ok that's fine. When they bring me the nachos they just put the tiny cup of cheese from my pretzel in my nachos. I asked them, don't you usually put more cheese then this? The girl said "we are all out." Why didn't they tell me that before I paid $1.50 extra for nachos? Had I known before hand I would not have ordered them but after all of the work just to get a snack And with my family waiting to golf I didn't complain. I ended up throwing away more then half of the chips in the trash because there wasn't any cheese for them. I wasn't happy with the 3 girls customer service at all. They looked annoyed by me but what happened to the costumer is alway right? I'm in a field of customer service and I know how to make sure my customers are happy. I was not happy. We spent at least $150.00 on our short visit and would've spent more but we ended up leaving and not ordering a pizza there because of the bad customer service. read more

Alright, what kid in Ventura county didn't go to at least one birthday party here? My older brother even had his 10th celebration there so I definitely knew that course pretty well as a kid. Having not been there since early days of college on a date with my now-ex, my buddy and I decided to go there a few weeks back as a way to chill outside and escape some of the valley heat on a sunny Saturday afternoon. The course has not changed much, although the fact that some of the ponds were completely drained definitely detracted from the overall course. The arcade also pissed me off because we only found out after cashing in $10 for tokens that basically everything we would ever want to play was out of order so that was pretty lame (I mean seriously...EVERY single skee ball lane needs to be repaired at once?! Nice upkeep!) But, as the closest and most familiar "family fun center" to me in Thousand Oaks, I'm sure I'll keep going back to be berated by the grouchy teenage employees for years to come. read more

I've come here ever since I was a little kid and always have a fun time. This time I was showing my husband around Ventura and thought some mini golf at my favorite childhood joint would be fun! It was pretty crowded as it was a Saturday, but we never felt rushed or waited long for a hole. I just love the fun holes they've got set up here, everything from a castle to a mine shaft to a gingerbread house and a clock tower! They've got two separate courses here too, so just don't play hole 18 on the first course you play and you can play the second course too! They've got bumper boats, go karts, laser tag, and arcade games as well. We just came for the golf that day though. It can get kinda warm on the course out in the sun, so bring some beverage (the vending machine on the golf course wasn't working when I was there) to cool you down. Come here for a fun little adventure! read more

IT'S THE PLACE FROM KARATE KID. So, yeah, we saw it by the highway and had to go. Dinky little arcade inside with the usual old games, skee ball, etc. There's an 18 hole putt putt course (with castles!) for 8 bucks, as well as bumper cars, bumper boats, and go-karts. Not the newest thing, but a fun way to spend a night with friends. Pay $5 for parking, but then they give you a $5 voucher to spend inside... so it's like it's free. read more
