For mini golf/putt we play with our clubs but sometimes we had to use our hands. Overall it was a unique course with a lot of surprises. They don't allow drinks on course which was a bummer.

We're also members of an amateur haunted house building group in Southern California. All this to say we have seen a lot of great work through the years, and the craftsmanship at Haunted Manor is top tier. We loved the details and engineering. The lighting is smart to give you that creepy feeling without making you walk around in the dark. They offer a mix of traditional mini golf holes and others that are throwbacks to classic boardwalk games. The service was great and the manager was a horror film enthusiast who we enjoyed chatting with. We were wrapping up a cruise wich had a short 3 hour stop in Victoria, and stumbled on Haunted Manor as a fluke through Google maps. Glad we took the chance to spend an hour of our time here! The individual holes are a fairly small, but they're so well done, it doesn't really matter. Would love to see what they could do with a bigger location someday down the road.

Five stars go towards this well-maintained gem! === THE GOLF Adults are $12.85 and kids are $8.55. That gets each of you 18 holes of golf and there's something for everyone: young, old, beginner, and advanced. At least two of the holes have a couple of options for you to hit into, which result in closer or further placement for the hole situated down below. $5 allows you to play again. === 3. SERVICE We were helped by a couple of ladies and both seemed friendly. They tend to what looked like plants they sell in the clubhouse as well as a small ice cream freezer (which starts at $4 a bar I believe). === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's a picturesque location with two big fountains and ups, downs, bridges over water and plenty of artificial turf and garden features. Wheelchairs and baby strollers will make it over most but not all of the holes (some had stairs only to get up or down). Parking is available in a decent-sized lot in front.

After taking in a number of the sights of Victoria my children indicated that there were craving…read moresomething more exiting. I realized that our planned visit to Butchart Gardens later that evening, would not quite fit the bill for them. So, I did an internet search and came up with this place. We jumped into our van, set our course on the GPS and in no time found ourselves getting strapped into our gear. There is a mini training session where we are taught how to use the "life line". That is the safety system that ensures you don't tumble out of the tree's. I learned that it is essential to always make certain that at least one of the two life lines is connected to the main life line at all times. Children age 11 and under are automatically given a more secure magnetic lifeline system which won't allow them to disconnect one line until the other is fastened. I had never done anything like this before and found myself feeling quite nervous (well scared actually) as I began the course. You will find yourself high up among the trees navigating tight ropes, moving planks, vertical ladders, ziplines and so on. I was able to relax a little once I began to trust the life line system. However, I will say that despite the training, I did notice to my horror that at one point in the course I failed to properly connect my lifeline! I am sure that some of you reading this must be cringing at the thought of the danger I was in for those few moments. Well I survived and continued to enjoy this challenging experience which turned into quite a workout to boot. For me, there were no more accidents in using the lifeline. We all agreed that this was great fun and were happy we did this. However I do have some safety concerns. At the beginning of the course, the trainer reassured me that nobody has ever fallen/been seriously injured. Still, in hindsight I would have had all of my children use the more secure magnetic lifeline system. Why not given my experience of improperly fastening my own life line. The business is certainly not taking any chances. No doubt they are well protected by that waiver they have you sign before your child even sets foot on the course. Price...

Lots of free…read moreparking, but the parking lot seems to usually be at 3/4 full. ---LUNCH--- Lunch was great, our server was very personable, sharing with us stories of her son's wedding while keeping our cups topped up with water. The food was also good. I particularly enjoyed the full monty burger. The daily special roasted lamb sandwich I didn't feel provided very good value since the sandwich was pretty small (though at $12 for the sandwich and a manhattan clam chowder, I guess that wasn't very expensive to begin with). The sweet potato fries with chipotle dip were great, they gave us an extra side for the table too. Pricing wise, it was cheaper than I expected at a golf club. Certainly, it's not Floyd's Diner level of value, but the menu is competitively priced and the food is good. ---WEDDING--- The outdoor area allocated for the ceremony was fantastic, under the shade of a couple large trees. It's not a purpose-built venue, meaning there aren't steps in the hill or a designated space for an aisle, but that lends a lot to the charm of the venue. The manager, Greg, was very helpful to a never ending barrage of wedding-related requests. Projector setup unfortunately didn't come with a HDMI to Displayport adapter needed for Macbooks. The buffet spread was very good. The salmon and chicken were very tender, much to my surprise. I had expected mass-produced meats to come out dry and tough as at most weddings. Unfortunately, they stopped replenishing the oysters partway through the night. 10/10 I would have my wedding here (if it wasn't so far...).

A late December round that costs $117. $79 for the golf and $38 for a one seat power cart which is…read morea first in my local experience. Since power carts are often used by those of us with a handicap, I fail to see how this pricing policy is welcoming or encouraging to a physically challenged group of people. Next, what were 2 regular handicap parking stalls have new signage saying these spots are now for a maximum of 2 hours which I assume means they are intended for restaurant customers and certainly not for golfers taking the usual 4+ hours to complete 18 holes. The result? Folks like me who finding walking painful, in particular on hard surfaces, have no preferred parking and have to walk from wherever we can find a spot unless we are apparently the preferred restaurant customer. Both of the above issues lead me to avoid this golf course in the future. In conclusion, I find it abhorrent that in this day and age, a golf course would institute policies that actually discourage particular groups of people from enjoying the game of golf.

Challenging enough to keep you going back and enjoyable so that you are not discouraged. I am a bad golfer, but I love playing. The scenery and holes are beautifully maintained and absolutely breathtaking.

Vancouver Island has an ecosystem not quite the Galapagos island, however they must not be many predators on the island as the deer seem very tame. I asked the starter how long the golf season was here and was told you can pretty much play 12 months of the year. In December and January he mentioned you may have to tee off after 10 AM before it warms up but such is life on the island. Holy shite folks. 12 months of golf in Canada? That's the joy of living on Vancouver Island. Never crazy hot in the summer and petty much no snow in winter.
