My boyfriend and I stopped in on a Tuesday night without reservations to play 18 holes. There was…read moreonly 1 group 2-3 holes in front of us. 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. They do offer complimentary lockers for your things while you play. You can choose to have a drink or two before or after.

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.

VERDICT/VALUE What awaits you nicely tucked out of…read moretown (far away enough from the city, yet not as far as Central Saanich/Sidney) just off the highway is this little mini golf oasis that offers three rental accommodation units too (complete with unlimited mini golf). 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.

I've been to Victoria so many times and was running out of things to do, so I was super excited to…read morefind that this was a new addition. I'd been hearing about axe throwing being the cool new thing and my partner was ecstatic as this reminds him of his childhood growing up in the woods. I was even happier to find that prices are reasonable, but slightly concerned I might chop off a toe. I really wanted to try this so I made my partner make reservations ahead of time (I did see quite a few people who tried to walk in turned away). The place is a teeny bit hidden inside a non descript building, but when you first walk in you can see it thru the glass window. We came by a little early and were able to get started early. It's kind of like bowling where you get your own lane and choose your own axe. I was happy to find that they had both bathrooms and wifi available. We received some instruction and coaching throughout our visit. Throwing an axe the exact right way to get it to stick into the wall is tricky. It is certainly something I still need to master, but I was over joyed when I finally got some picture worthy throws near the bulls eye. My partner thinks he is pretty good and is considering joining a league in the future. Even though we don't live in the area the employees were helpful and provided us info about the different kind of leagues and what we could expect if we joined one. I'd definitely check this out again and would even consider it somewhat of a work out.

Loved this place!! It has only been running for a month, but totally worth our $20. We have never…read moredone anything like axe throwing in our life. It seemed simple enough, but there is totally a learning curve!!! Luckily for us, Axe and Grind has people there to coach us through the learning part so we could actually enjoy ourselves by sibling an axe into the target. This made a difference because they don't just send you off to throw axes randomly at wood boards. They explain how to do it, show you how to do it, watch you do it, then help you make adjustments until it starts clicking for you. Once it starts to click, then they teach you how to play the axe throwing game (I.e. what the red lead and blue dots mean and how to score). Once we got the hang out it, the games was super fun!! We even practiced doing the one handed throw. It was appprox. $22 per a person after tax for one hour. But you only need an hour. Lol. Any longer and your arms might hurt!! Usually, you share one lane for 2-4 people. Just like bowling, except with axes. It's like bowling and archery mixed into one game!!! It is hidden so you have to search a bit for the sign to find the location downtown. You also have to find street parking, which is a bummer. But you can always walk around to get your money of parking worth. I heard they get busier at night so we went in the late afternoon before dinner and the night crowd. We got a lane for each of us individually after having to share 2 lanes for 3 people. So was fun and not crowded for us. Def recommend. Something unique and fun to do with your friends and family!! Just remember to wear opened toe shoes. If you don't, they have crocs that you can borrow, but it requires you to wear shoes that strangers have worn before. I suppose nothing diff that bowling shoes, but if you can remember, wear closed toed shoes!
