Came specifically for mini golf and we golfed at court 3 which they said was most challenging. It was a fun time but we came middle of the day so it was definitely hot!

A classic. Space Invaders.

It's like a blast from the past to come here. Three sets of courses and bumper cars arcade games and now a lazer tag spot? I think that's new-ish from what I remember but kiddos a little too young for that. Just kept things simple and tried to keep the balls on course. Once we got through our 18, we cooled down with some thick shakes. But let's be real. It's more like ice cream than shakes. Lastly, we finished things off with some arcade games. Ran around a bit and ended up with more bouncey balls. Definitely coming back. Maybe on a cooler day though.

Three stars overall but one added star because Golfland provided my child with so much joy and wonderful memories. Not sure if my purchase was a Summer special or if the offering is available daily but we opted for the $30 deal providing X amount of credits. This was perfect for my 4yo. This provided her with a little bit more than an hours worth of playtime at the arcade. Prizes are whack and definitely a huge ripoff IMO but the delight written all over her face was 100% worth it.

Having fun fighting off Dinosaurs!

Sadly, this is not the Golfland that I grew up with. During its golden years, both buildings were filled some of the best arcade games. Fridays and Saturday nights they were filled with young and old duking it out and trying to beat out the high scores (yeah, like you saw in shows like Stranger Things); DDR had lines of people just waiting to show off their feet dexterity. The golf course was pristine and all in working condition. Now... One building is filled with games that are mainly just ticket focused. Get tickets, redeem tickets; high scores, what are those? A lot of the machines are generally broken, others are based off of apps you can play on a phone/tablet. I mean, my sons like going here, so I take them from time to time. Yes this review is written with nostalgia... and the old Golfland probably struggles to succeed nowadays, but man, it was better that what we have now!

Laser tag

We had our 12 year olds Birthday here in December. Completely exceeded my expectations the young staff were so fun full of energy, great attitudes and so Tentative! We booked the room and had so much room, space for the younger kids to run around without worry. We did the laser tag and boy was it fun for kids & us adults. The golf course was very clean and safe. Our party hostess was AMAZING and a GREAT LEADER. Thank you ELOURA!! You totally love your job and you made our special day so fun! We will back !

Came for a birthday and got the $33/3hr package that gives you 3hrs of unlimited mini golf, bumper cars, laser tag and laser maze. Halloween decor is up and everywhere. Party room is actually a pretty decent size. Disappointed that the laser maze is unavailable at this time. Also sad that arcade is not included with the 3hr pass but the kids LOVEEEE the laser tag. Little bit of a wait though since they're short staffed.

When you enter building go to the counter to pay for the options

What is the average time to complete one of the golf courses for a group of 4? Also how long is one game of laser tag?

Hi, Indoor activities open now?

Hello bought the tickets online and when I showed up it was not open, can I get a refund?

Yes, sorry with the high winds last night PG&E either tuned off the power or there is a problem. The power still has not returned. We can refund your tickets or you can use the value of your tickets anytime and any Golfland. They do not expire.… Read more

Is laser tag opened due to Covid-19?

Hi Maritza, Unfortunately indoor entertainment venues, like laser tag, are not allowed to be open in Santa Clara county for a while. Thank you for your question.

Are all the attractions open, or just the golf?

Hi Gerald, For now the 3 18 hole mini golf courses, bumper cars, snack bar, and ICEBERG THICK THICK Shakes are open. Thanks for asking.

I noticed they're open during Covid and registration is required. Are there time limits on how long you have to complete course?

The registration is just to help disperse customers throughout the day. There is not a time limit. Just the time it takes to play 18 holes of mini golf or attractions purchased. Typically it takes 45 minutes to 1 hour to complete one round of… Read more

The claw does pick up the stuffies, but falls before it gets to the drop area. So it's an adrenaline rush. But by the three grab, you'll be able to win it! If you like to gamble, don't come here. LOL! We got sucked into playing the Labubu machine. We grabbed the box a couple times. So close! But that machine was more coins than the regular. And after 5 tries each, we realized we were burning through the coins quick. Definitely coming back with the whole family and deeper pockets... Hoping for different selection of stuffies next time we come, so we aren't trying to win the same ones again.

Plenty of TVs to watch games. The few bowling alley's in the front are meant for parties. Last time we went bowling, the service was nice. They have QR codes on the tables so that you can order when you're ready and it links to what aisle you're in. You can keep the tab open until you're done. Food was pretty good. The platters were way larger than we thought, but I guess we should've known from the price...Beer is about $10 for 16oz. Depending on if there's games or parties, parking can be harder to find. Overall, I do like this place and I'd rather come here than D&Bs.

Our group had a private area roped off and a plethora of food laid out for a buffet feast. There was salad, chicken kabobs, plates of antipasto, cheese, peppers, hummus, and of course nachos. Everything was delicious, as well as being lovely to look at. In fact, I think it was the first time in my Yelp history that I was so busy eating and having fun that I forgot to take photos! *eyes crossed* The area we were in had pool tables and shuffle board. I think there was pingpong too. I didn't interact much with the servers since it was a buffet and I was there for a function, but we had everything we needed while there. Be prepared for a lot of noise when you go. We had to use a karaoke machine in order to hear our main speaker. Lots of TVs blaring sports, video games and music. It's a great place for families or groups.

The claw machines seem really difficult, but there were a decent number of people walking around with plushies. The price per try for a claw machine is ridiculously high as well, so probably not attainable for casuals. The arcade games seem reasonable in comparison, but 8 credits still maps to around a dollar per play. $20 each and a lot of walking around lasted us maybe 2 hours.

Checking in was fine, except I was asked to fill out a paper version of something I already filled out online. I had pre-ordered shirts for us, and they had my son's no problem. My shirt couldn't be found, and after having me wait for 30 minutes while they organized the shirt pile I had to demand one of the "same day sale" shirts because they were about to sell out and no one else thought of that solution. We finally get into the event and its dark. Its hot. We aren't allowed any outside drinks, not even water. Every game that wasn't broken (a lot were) seemed to have a line, and no one was in a hurry to let others play. There was no communication that there was a 2nd room with driving/flying games, we stumbled on that ourselves. We gave it 4 hours, and at the end we just left. I was told by staff that they weren't expecting this many people so they were completely in chaos. It really showed.

They are held at California Extreme in Santa Clara, Golden Gate Pinball Festival in Lodi and Pin-a-Go-Go in Dixon. California Extreme is not exclusive with Pinball Machines. There are also tons of arcade games for those who enjoy them. We have enjoyed attending these events whenever we're able to. In the past, our work schedules often got in the way. Now that we're retired, our vacation schedules often cause conflicts. The people who run this event have always done a tremendous job of getting others to bring their beloved machines, set on free play, for the masses to play. In return, they get free admission. A substantial number of volunteers are also needed to load-in, load-out, wipe down, perform minor repairs, scorekeepers, registration, check-in, etc., etc. We attend to see Pinball Machines that we've never seen before, to play with machines that are hard to find, to play new machines, but mostly to play in the tournament. Yes, there are cash purses and trophies or plaques to be one. Bragging rights galore! But for players at my level, it's mostly about WPPR Points that affect your International Flipper Pinball Association Ranking. As I write this review, I am 8640 out of 103,576 players in the world. Does it mean anything? Only to my ego. At one time, I was sub-3000. I simply don't play in enough tournaments to keep my ranking. This year's tournament entry fee was $2 per game. That is not particularly expensive BUT there was no limit to the number of entries that one could purchase. This changes that tournament of skill and luck to one of skill, luck and DEEP POCKETS. In my opinion, there should be a single buy-in. Everyone plays the same number of games on the games that are available. Yes, this will reduce the prize money but so what? Whatever happens, happens. If you have a great day, congratulations. If you have a lousy day, better luck next year. But under the unlimited buy-in, you just keep putting out money until you have a few good games to tie together for your final score. What? The tournaments almost over but you're in 11th place and only the first 10 places are in the money. Well, play some more and hope to improve your score and win! Anyway, without the tournament to play in, I will either only attend California Extreme one day only or skip it all together moving forward. Additionally, this year, for the first time, the Hyatt is now charging $40 to park overnight. This was either not disclosed at the time of booking or I somehow missed it. When I complained, it was discounted $20 because I was staying there for California Extreme and another $10 because I'm a Hyatt member. I was told that, "all the other area hotels are charging more for parking and the Hyatt is just trying to catch up." There was a 49ers exhibition game on Saturday, August 19th, and parking was expected to be at a premium and traffic would be a zoo. To counter that, we arrived way early to get a space. We arrived at 8:30 for a 10:00 opening. Because we left the house so early, we didn't have time to eat breakfast, but we had plenty of down time in the hotel (check-in was at 3:00pm), so we opted for breakfast in the hotel (see our review for Evolution). Breakfast Buffet at $28 per person vs Continental Breakfast at $22 per person. So, while California Extreme is still lots of fun, between the costs and the crowds and a Deep Pocket Tournament, it may be time for us to move on.
