We went here today for my son's 10th Birthday party. The whole reservation process was impersonal and rushed, and I talked to 2 different managers. $22 per kid isn't exactly cheap, especially when the party does not include a party host, and you're pretty much on your own. We arrived about 3 minutes after our 2pm party time, and there was another party in the party room. I asked one of the people working "Um, I have a 2pm party" and they escorted me to the party window to check in. I check in, and the manager Josue is talking through the window a mile a minute, repeating information a few times, after I said "ok" about 50 times he comes to escort us to the party room. They have 2 rooms, which was actually more like 1 room cut in half with the cheesy black rope they use at movie theaters So we could hear and see the other party, and they could see us. Their room was significantly larger too, and with 14 kids, and about 5 adults, we were very cramped. The manager made sure to tell me 3 different times there was a party right after us, and that we only had about 40-45 minutes in the room (although the party states 1 hour), and then proceeded to ramble ON AND ON again. It started off extremely rushed and yet he was wasting my time too. They brought out the pizzas after about 5 minutes and I divided the pizzas and we ate. After about 10 minutes or so, when the kids were winding down, I asked for their cake knife and plates for the cake. They stalled for 5 minutes then told me the OTHER party had the cake knife, and they would try to find SOMETHING that might work. We had an ice cream cake and needed a knife. After 5 more minutes (now 10 total), they come back with a pie server (a non-serated triangle thing), and said this is all we have, the other party has the knife. The other party by this time was cleaning up, and my husband proceeded to try to cut the cake with the triangle thing, while I try to get someone to get me plates. Another 5 minutes pass and they bring us plates, no forks, and they tell me "oh they are right there next to the window" so I go get them. As we are still cutting the cake, it's been about 35ish minutes, the manager comes back again and tells me as soon as we are done cutting the cake we need to proceed outside to finish our party...We can cut the cake, then we need to leave!! SERIOUSLY. I tell him, if I hadn't been waiting 15 minutes for plates and a cake cutter, that they didn't have, that we wouldn't have a problem with that, but we were waiting on them, and we will sit and eat our cake! He says "oh, uh, ya ya, ok then you need to proceed outside, and come to the window so we can settle up the bill." They don't care at all about the party, or our experience, they wanted my money. I go out to the window to settle up, get the wristbands for the rides. They tell me that we have 2 hours unlimited, including the lazer tag, and golf. When we were ready for golf to come back up to the party window. We let the kids run around for 1.5 hours before deciding we wanted to do golf. At several points the kids came to me telling me they couldn't do the lazer tag. The line was REALLY long, they only let 4 kids in at a time (yes, 4 TOTAL is what we were told; we had 14 kids in our party alone!) and they would have spent the entire 2 hours waiting for lazer tag if they did it. At one point I went to the party window and asked for the arcade tokens instead of the lazer tag. On the party package page on the website, it offered a choice of 12 arcade tokens OR lazer tag. I told one of the managers (not the manager I was originally talking to) about the situation and he said that they could give us the tokens but all 14 kids had to come to the window so he could write on their wristbands so we don't get the tokens and the lazer tag...because ya, we want to rip them off and wait 2 hours for a 5 minute game of lazer tag.... but ok. So I ask for Josue since he was supposed to be handling my party, and he tells me that NO, they won't do that! Since lazer tag is operable, they won't give us tokens, if we don't want to do it, we don't do it, and if they kids do, they just have to wait or experience the other attractions. I said, the other guy JUST said he would, and Josue said "oh, ok then, bring them around we'll figure it out." So I gather up the kids, bring them over, it was time for golf anyway. Some had already gone home by this time, so there were 9 kids. I said, we want the tokens, and then we want to get our golf stuff. He said, I can do the tokens, but you have to wait in the other line for golf! So now I'm waiting in line behind another 5-7 people waiting for golf stuff after they told me I could go to the party window the first time. Honestly, all that matters is that my kid had a great time, good friends, and the Ameci's pizza was awesome. But for spending over $350 on a birthday party, it was a rip off! I will be back for family days, but don't waste $ on a party here! read more

This place rocks! Super fun no matter the occasion, friendly staff, good courses, plenty to do!

Rip off! 4 tokens to play the claw, and the thing didnt even work? $3 for a water bottle, and 16 yr old employess who are not only slow but slow as can be too. Way disapointed... read more

The bumper boat water was appallingly disgusting. Half of the arcade games didn't work. Staff was pretty distant and ignored us while we stood right in front of them waiting to order drinks. All of the ponds on the mini-golf courses were drained. Overall, not a place worth going too. The mini-golf courses WERE pretty tight but the lack of water sort of killed it since they were so obviously geared around the aquatic decor. read more

It's corny. And so, so '80s. And that's why you should love it. Be patient with the teens sucking face with every putt on the course in front of you. Be prepared to lose the occasional ball. Wash your hands after using that rubber-handled putter that like a thousand other people have touched. And steer clear of the blue sewage water. But enjoy it--the moving and stationery statues, the silly downmarket-Disney vignettes--this, after all, is what not taking yourself too seriously is all about. This is mini-golf. read more

I waited 30 minutes for a Tombstone pizza, and when I went up to ask about it, they found it in the oven, burnt. Could I please get some free nachos in the meantime? Maybe just a pretzel? No. These cold-hearted harbingers of injustice had no sympathy for my famished family. What a joke. The "Stuff" in Golf N Stuff most likely refers to their horrible service. They didn't even have crushed red peppers. read more

What a great way to spend the afternoon. We bought a $27 pass for the teens and they rode bumper cars,boats and laser tag for 2 hours straight. The mini golf was great for the whole family. Weather was beautiful. Super nice place. Wish they served good coffee. read more

Very disappointed in this location, had overpaid a game of golf and instead of giving money back gave us a certificate for a game, that was fine since we come a lot (btw we drive all way from chatsworth) but the certificate expired and they would not let us use it, poor customer service we will not be regular visitors anymore. read more

Don't ever come to this place, it is a money pit. For $14 you get a single short ride and half a game in the arcade. All the soda is Extremely watered down and they microwave their hotdogs. Rude service like they don't even care about your safety. Never coming back here again, spending my money elsewhere. read more

Note: I am only reviewing the arcade. I havent used the other things here so they are exempt from this. On the surface, this arcade looks appealing. It has an ITG2 convert machine, a good variety of games even a drummania which is nice. Unfortunately alot of the games are out of order or have something broken about them. The crane game is stated to be out of order but still worked strangely which is weird too. The ITG2 machine though has 2 bad panels (the right panel on p1 and the up panel on p2) which is annoying. Strangely enough, as I was in the arcade I saw some panels from past games that Im presuming they had at one point. The ticket game selection is good, but there are not really any decent prizes to go towards it so it seems to be a waste of time for me. Im imagining that if they actually repaired their past and current games and improved their prize selection then it would be a strong arcade in the area, but like alot of other arcades it falls flat on that. Outside of the selection, the saving grace of this arcade is that it was also relatively cheap, but I honestly wouldnt mind paying a bit more if it meant that the games actually worked well. So yeah, right now Id stay away from this place unless your already in the area, and even then its a hard sell. read more

i actually had a lot fo fun here, so many mini golf/arcade type of places are so outdated and dirty/decaying, but this one is very clean and modern-esque. A decent fun course and the go carts were pretty fun as well. Looks like a good quality arcade in side though i just walked through. definately a good place to go kill time and hang out and have a simple good time. read more

I've been coming here for so many years, ever since I was little. I love it! The place gets very crowded, but they are nice about it and give you your space and dont rush you :) which is nice. I really liked it because it doesn't matter if you're tiger woods out there or me...THE WORLDS WORST MINIGOLF PLAYER!!! haha. I think I hit one of my balls onto the road...maybe even the highway :x. I went here on a date and it was a blast, we had the best time ever :) read more

We held my son's 7th birthday party here today and the manager on duty and the staff in charge of assisting us with the party are very helpful. The pizza orders came in late (not Golf n stuff's fault) but the manager made it up to us and was apologetic. Our pitchers were refilled and were asked constantly if we need anything else. The kids had a blast and I think we'd love to come back again in the future. read more

Fun place for families to take the kids. My girls loved it! I've seen much more involved mini golf courses that were a bit more up to date but the game room at this location with video games and such were a HUGE hit with the kids. Overall, a really fun place to take the family. read more

My family and I go to Golf N' Stuff traditionally every Father's Day and it's a lot of fun! I wish there was a special discount for the dads on the day of but prices weren't bad. We played a round of golf and everyone had a lot of fun and were nice and tired at the end. We didn't play any arcade games but my husband is a fan of them and it's great that they have them. My only complaint is that every time we play we end of losing atleast 1 to 2 golf balls on the course. This time we lost two but found two so we had extra. We always have fun here. read more

I had a nice time here last night with my husband and our friends. We came to play mini golf around 7pm and stayed afterwards for the arcade games. I grew up spending lots of time at the Family Fun Center in Fountain Valley, so places like this are very nostalgic for me. Golf N' Stuff was opened in 1974 and it reminds me a lot of the place I used to frequent as a kid in Orange County. Same funny golf course with unnaturally colored water in the ponds and fountains, the quirky little ghost town and windmills. The arcade was fun, they even had a photo booth (digital). I got some nachos from the snack bar, that really brought me back, with the neon "cheese" sauce. Overall, a very fun evening. The employees were all great - everyone I spoke with was friendly, polite, and working hard. I'm impressed with how they run the place. Good job Golf N' Stuff. Keep being retro-y awesome! read more

Don't come here unless you want to spend your money and walk out disappointed, this place is a money pit. The food is expensive and disgusting, the rides are quick and not worth it. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

If you're looking to just play some arcade games I definitely recommend going here. They have a good amount of games and If you get 20 dollars worth of coins you receive 100. I recommend eating before going because the food selection isn't that great. But overall the games and the service was excellent read more

My experience at Golf n Stuff could have been better. Although they do have a lot of arcade games, it is still not good. The ponds in the golf course are dirty. They smell like rotten eggs. The laser tag that they have is a tent and not a room. I went into the tent and it felt like it was 100 degrees inside. At least they had some cooling fans at the end of the tent. The go karts, bumper cars, and water boats are ok. I would have hope that they would clean up more. read more

I came here once for a date to just play arcade games but they wanted to charge us five dollars just to park. I've never heard of a mini golf place charging for parking before especially when they have plenty of parking! Boomers in SM doesnt and neither do the mini golf places in the valley. This is no Disneyland! Sorry Golf n Stuff but you lost my business. read more

Make sure when you are purchasing gift certificates that you know exactly what you want. Purchased an all park pass, tried to trade for a just golf certificate and refund for remainder, however they would only exchange for other certificates, which I don't need, no refunds. Very disappointed... read more

If you're looking for good service, DONT come here. The cashier AND the manager were so inconsiderate of our situation. The music is also super lame, just make sure you have fun company or else you'll have a bad experience. read more

Yeh so the guy gave us a purple ball and a blue ball and i absolutely hate hate hate purple. So i asked for any color but purple. He said "does it matter?" i said "nope" and he hands me a white ball with "doesnt matter" written on it. Rad. read more

Great place ! Well maintained. Friendly & helpful staff. Reasonable pricing. My Grandsons had a blast. Water bumper cars, bumper cars, go carts, laser tag, arcade & miniature golf. Love the unlimited pass they offer weekend special. $27 - 2 hr unlimited golf, rides & 4 tokens!! What fun!! read more

The place could use some updating, but we still had a good enough time playing mini-golf that we went back a second time. The video arcade area was cramped, but the kids didn't have any interest so we didn't stay in that area. The mini golf has some interesting holes with a Disney-like castle and a mini Big Ben, for example. read more

The link highlights accessible gaming development! http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/14/ablegamers-creates-how-to-accessibility-guide-for-devs-publishe/ I first came to this place in the 80's and I am still very nostalgic about playing a round of mini golf and understand the feasibility of retrofitting, but I am only speaking about a couple arcade games updated that would be low enough for wheelchair users to access. Here is an example of an effort toward accessibility. http://blue-path.com/Putters-family-entertainment-Center.html for your reference. Best of luck and believe me I don't want regulation to destroy miniature golf! read more

It's a nice place to go golfing the arcade is really load trash lying all over the place and the bathrooms smell horrible

Ive been going to Golf and Stuff for many years now. Went when i was a kid in elementary school on field trips, went on dates there in high school, and now we do group dates with other couples now as a 30 year old man. The place looks and feels the same. I love it! The golfing is fun. Lots of games to play. Air hockey rocks! and the race track is fun too. As long as they keep the paint fresh and the machines working this place will be around forever. read more

Apparently I haven't been there for a while, and my review was based on my last visit there, about 8 years ago. I've heard that it's been repaired & cleaned up -- good! I will visit soon to confirm personally. read more

Fun, fun, fun!! We live in Ventura, and if we ask our kids where they want to go, it's always Golf-n-Stuff! Of course, it's great putting practice, but there's also bumper boats & cars, little indy cars, video games, and skeeball (my personal favorite). I wouldn't suggest going late on a Friday or Saturday night, because the guests are a bit... unseemly, but any other time it's a lot of fun. read more

Established in 1974 and probably not taken care of since then. The golf course wasn't in too bad of shape. Greens had all kinds of things from the nearby trees on the course which was a bummer but this isn't the PGA so I guess not the biggest deal. The arcade had broken games (at least half) the ones that did work sometimes ate the quarters. When we went to cash in tickets half the prizes were in stock. The employees had the enthusiasm of people watching paint dry. I would venture elsewhere if the opportunity came but if I was nearby I think I may go back. read more

Really happy to discover this place whether it's to take the family out for a fun day of games or to go on a date night with my boyfriend as we get pretty competitive when it comes to mini golf. Also pretty sure this is the best arcade in Ventura county plus they have the Initial D racing games. read more

I've been going here for like 30 years now and I stop by every few years or so, love the place. Mini golf is sweet arcade always has new games and go carts and stuff to! I just moved to Ventura a few months ago, I will most def come here often now with my kids! There is a roller skating next door and very close to the beach, prime location. read more

I wouldn't recommend this for a birthday party. The measuring stick they use to measure the kids is inconsistent since the ground is uneven. You must be well over 56" in order to rode solo on Indy cars. The staff was not helpful, just stated that they have secret shoppers and will get in trouble if kids are not tall enough. This was after they let kids in our party go solo. Horrible policy and website should be changed to 58" because it disappoints after you've paid $300 for your party. read more

When you arrive you have to pay a $5 entrance fee, which just turns into a $5 off coupon. With the coupon mini golf was $13 for two people. Two courses, 18 holes each. The holes attractions are okay. Nothing extraordinary. The arcade is where you might have the most fun. They have new games as well as old ones. There was also a food counter that I didn't get to check out. read more

Golf N' Stuff - One of the holes on course 2. - Amusement Parks Near Me - Ventura, California

The kids loved the place! Laser tag, go karts, full arcade and mini golf! We were in the area with the family, and decided to go check out the place. Staff is very helpful and super nice. Definitely will be back. Until next time... read more

We had a great time today, with a large group. My niece lost her cell phone in the water and the staff did a great job of saving it for her. yay! Vannesah at the Ramrods bumper cars was amazing! Super friendly and courteous. Thanks for a great time Golf N Stuff!! read more

I come here just for the mini golf. I have golfed at other parks before and I'd say this course is a bit nicer than the others I have seen. There are a couple greens that have wrinkles in them but overall, it is a fun course. I do agree with a few other reviews that the staff looks beyond bored, but at least they aren't rude. read more

We've gone numerous times and this last visit was on a Saturday night. First off you need to pay $5 to the parking attendant which you get back when you pay. It wasn't busy and we paid for a round of miniature golf. The seem to have redone the course so they were in decent shape. I like that it is easy to do two rounds. The issue is when you get behind a very large group, and that could make it long evening. The arcade games have seen their day, so you may want to avoid them. We didn't do the go-carts this visit but have in the past and they are pretty fun. The biggest knock on this place is that it always seems dirty. Not much attention to sanitation, and there is so supervision. read more

Not a bad price for a few fun holes. Some things are in need of repair but still, a very fun place to spend an evening with some buddies and get destroyed on the 7th or 8th holes. Darn you cursed tin cup!!! read more
