If you play twice you get half off the second game. The course itself was really fun!! The entire course is well kept. It was challenging enough and a handful of holes had little surprises! It was an adventure in itself walking around the course with the waterfalls (or what i think will be waterfalls) and figuring out how we would get to the second part of the hole!! We ended up skipping over one hole to pass a larger group, and we finished the entire course in about 40 min. My only problem with this course is they did not have the water in yet, but given how early it is in the outdoor mini golf season I will let them pass on this. I planning on coming back again and I hope they have the water next time. The course was still fun even with out it.

Our coordinator, Jill, customized our menu to meet all our needs including specific allergies. The chef even came out that day to explain how she prepared the menu to cater to those allergies and the food was spectacular. The staff could not have been nicer, or more helpful from setting up to serving our guests. They even helped our guests with packages. The room was beautiful and the setting is gorgeous. I cannot thank them enough for creating such a perfect day for us. If you want a perfect day for your event look no further PVCC is it.

No, it wasn't raining, no it hadn't rained the day before, the course (at least part of it) retains water. I've played here when they've done a good job with cutting the grass, but I've also played when the greens were way too slow and the rough was thick enough to swallow your club. This is a short course (only 6,200 from the back tees), par 70, and isn't tremendously difficult. There are some interesting holes that add a little difficulty...mostly dog legs, a couple well placed bunkers, and trees...lots of trees. There are also a number of tiered greens so if you can't tell where the flag is located you could end up on the wrong part of the green making birdie or even par somewhat difficult. That said, most of the greens are pretty large. If you're a decent golfer and can keep the ball on he fairway you'll score we'll here. Greens fees aren't terrible for NJ, but they work on a sliding scale depending on the season. They also have a clubhouse and grill so you can grab a bite at the turn or after your round. Looking forward to the warm weather and getting out and playing again...probably not here this year though...

She was so wonderful accommodating my unannounced visit. She stopped what she was working on to show me the different spaces they had to offer and we discussed what I expected my party to look like. Their various party menu selections were vast and their price per person simply blew the others out of the water! I booked the party and Michelle helped me select linens, decide on the table and room layout and made suggestions to help make the event a success. I chose the Minebrook Buffet #2 where we received a vegetable crudités, a salad, 3 hot entrees, 2 sides, cake, soft drinks, coffee, tea and table linens all for 4 hours. The party was a huge success. All my guests commented on the delicious food (Prime Rib, Eggplant Rollatini and Chicken Franchase) and I took notice how the staff assigned to my event were attentive but not obtrusive. Even the cake was delicious! There was another party taking place in the other room at Minebrook and the staff made sure that my guests were not disturbed. Simply stated I received more food choice, a professional staff, delicious and abundant food for my guests and an event coordinator that made it so easy to throw a party! Give them a try, you won't be disappointed!

Which was great because the lot was very full. There are two walk up windows to check in. I walked up to the window and had to wait literally 1 min; the line was short and quick. The girl found my reservation went over paper work that needed to be filled out, was very friendly and helpful. I will say the other girl was not particularly friendly. They're talking to you threw a window and I am partially deaf, when I asked the girl to repeat the last thing she said she was so annoyed she spoke in short sentence like I was dumb. And just before she helped me there was another group of girls that seemed to be very annoyed with her because she refused to help them. Like I said there were two lines and they were in her line but she wanted to help the gentlemen infront of me in the other line. Idk why, he wasn't even paying attention and only needed to drop his car keys off. Whatever. We grabbed our life vests, got our overview of the river and quickly hopped on a very nice, 12 pax van. It was about a 10 min ride to the drop off area which wasn't bad. I really liked that the staff grabs your kayak and paddle and brings it to the water. All you have to do is sit down and paddle away. There is another company that shared the drop off area so just be aware that you don't get the wrong kayak lol The DR is beautiful. The water is so nice and clean. There are lots of places to stop off at to eat lunch or take a swim. There were a lot of people camping along the banks. So be mindful of that when pulling off to a beach. When we go to our pick up location it was just as smooth as our drop off spot. You just paddle to the beach and a staff grabs your kayak and pulls you in. You take your things and they take the kayak and paddle. At the top of the stairs you just walk to the right and the van is waiting to take you back. Overall, wonderful company to book a kayak or raft from to enjoy the beautiful river. In highly recommend and will rebook with them. I recommend wearing a hat and water shoes and bringing a cooler for drinks and snacks.

(This was a few months ago so the details could be a bit iffy.)…read more This was a very impromptu trip and everything at Edge of the Woods makes doing that easy. Head to the website, book the date & time you want and you're done. www.watergapadventure.com/river-trips A few things worth noting: They offer multiple trip lengths. The standard 4-, 6- and 10-mile trip (Smithfield to Portland) are all booked generically and then when you get there you tell them what you want to do. All pricing is the same which believe me compared to others companies, that's very different - in a good way. They do offer two other longer trips but those require calls to the main office I assume to assess river conditions; your own competency and shuttle availability. The main office in Delaware Water Gap is very easy to find and there was plenty of parking on a quiet post-Labor Day Monday. You check in, you're handed a laminated map, life jacket and given a brief route explanation and then you're off in the van. One problem arose and it was kind of a PIA but it was worked around. Most companies have different types/sizes/models of kayaks and quite often, will ask you what you prefer. Not here. When we left the office, the guy driving didn't say a word to me until we get to Smithfield Beach to unload. He had a few kayaks pre-loaded in the carrier but definitely did not look at them before we left. One of them had a broken foot pedal that he said couldn't be used, another was very much designed for a smaller individual (i.e. if you're taller and/or taller & larger it ain't happening safely) which only left two tandem models. Using a tandem as a single individual is not the end of the world but especially when the seats are still left in the two person configuration (i.e. one front and one back versus the rear one being placed more towards the middle), it's a PIA to maneuver the craft and you are paddling harder to get the job done compared to a single. The scenery along the route was decent. You could see a bit of the Shawnee Resort and Golf Course, an old stone bridge abutment in the middle of the river, under and along 80 and then when you get into the Water Gap itself with the high cliff sides. Very picturesque. Once you go under the old train viaduct in Portland, you give the office a call for the shuttle to meet you at the out point which is at the Portland Pedestrian Bridge. The whole experience was about four hours door to door to cover the ten miles on the water plus the shuttle to & from the pick up and drop off points. Lots of nice scenery, due to the low water level there wasn't much in the way of current except for the area around viaduqt in Portland and even that wasn't bad. I'm not a big fan of the equipment here but I wouldn't let that deter me from coming back in the future for one of their northern longer trips.

Perhaps you want to host a beach volleyball tournament where there is no sand. Conceivability, you may just want a horseshoe pit in your yard like me. Start with the experts in outdoor surfaces and accessories, Partac Peat Corporation, located at the intersection of Kelsey Park and Shades of Death Road in Great Meadows, NJ, not far from Route 80. They have every conceivable type of dirt, sand, clay, turf, etc. that you will need for your project. Check out their website at beamclay.com to learn everything you need to know for product selection, pricing, upkeep and tools. I was blown away by the large scale excavation and packaging of their products. They also supply products in bulk and have a drive on scale and heavy equipment to accommodate fast truck loading. I only needed a small quantity of beam clay and I was treated as nicely as if I was building the track and field venue for the next Olympics both in the office and the yard where I picked up the product. I totally recommend that you go to Partac Peat Corporation for all of your materials.
