    Elephant in the water
    Mark W.

    I'm still pretty new to mini-golf, but I figured I could get a little bit of mini-golf practice in. After all, I volunteered to staff it at my job, so it would only be right that I get some mini-golf play in before I staff it for 6 and a half hours. Thankfully, this golfing course ain't too far from where I live, so this ain't too bad of a drive to get there. You just have to make a U-turn at the end to get there if you are coming from the northbound lanes like I was. Upon arrival, you kind of see the Safari-theme pretty easily here. You have models of giraffes, gorillas, and elephants amongst other African icons on the golf course. The name of the holes also correlate with African themes such as The Tusk, Zebra Crossing, and Kilimanjaro. Pars for every hole are either 2 or 3 shots, and you don't get to your first Par 3 until The Loop (Hole 10). I played two rounds today and I find this mini-golf course to be pretty beginner friendly. None of the holes were so hard that I needed to get to the 6-shot maximum for any hole, and on both rounds I even got a hole-in-one in a hole (Hole 13 for the first round and Hole 15 for the second). In both rounds I even got 2 birdies on 2 other Par 3's. My scores were still over par on both rounds after all 18 holes, but there was a noticeable improvement on my second round as I shaved 4 off my score. If you like mini-golf and want something stress-free, this is definitely your golf course. As for the customer service, the receptionist was pretty helpful. You can even nab some ice cream after the game if you're coming on a hot day like I did. I got a Chillwich that was $7 and locally manufactured. Honestly, for $7, this hit the spot. I got the Thiq Mint, and it is a HUGE cookie sandwich of goodness. For the pricing of the games themselves, you have to pay $10 for one round, and then for the second round, you can get a dollar off. There is a caveat though that might force you to bring your A-game: If you get a Hole-in-1 on Hole 18, you get your second game free which saves you $9. I will say though, if you are attempting for that, it is NOT easy to get a Hole-in-1 on that last hole. Actually, the way it is designed, it is very difficult to pull off. I was able to get a Birdie on the hole, but not the Hole-in-1. All-in-all, a very fun mini-golf course, and it is a great place for beginners to grab their putts and play a good game. I would love to come back here soon to get better at the game.

    The course is very nice. It is very long and thought out. Very creative as well. It's a great place for kids. It's a little more expensive than other places but worth the money for the experience.

    My family loves this mini golf course.Especially on a hot summer day it has plenty of shade and feels like a real oasis .It has a cute little area with tables and umbrellas where you can enjoy some local delicious ice cream!The staff was always nice and welcoming,very accommodating.The decor could use a little updating ,other then that I definitely recommend it!

    Great afternoon at Safari Golf! We've tried many mini golf courses around in CT and this one is really nice. It took us about 45 minutes to complete with our 5yr old son. They have a huge parking lot and bathrooms which is a plus!

    Super fun mini golf course, or as the southerners would say, putt putt. Safari themed, with statues of lions, giraffes, zebras, elephants, gorillas, a lion and even a croc. They're great for fun selfies! Great for the kids, but as an adult I still found it very enjoyable. Come on your birthday for a free game!

    Went here with someone of my friend for her birthday. First time mini golfing and I enjoyed myself. The course was clean and friendly for kids. I enjoyed the scenery and the great time. The corse was easy to follow with seating at the majority of all the holes. It was very non expensive to attend and it was definitely worth the change! I would go back and gold again.

    Very fun mini golf location. Well manicured greens and landscaping. Fun holes. It's on a busy stretch of road which takes away some of the ambiance but it's a very nice place. Better bathrooms and more food/beverage options would be nice but otherwise it's an amazing place! Would definitely go back!

    Visited the Bronx Zoo this week and decided to continue the safari theme. Adult ticket is a little less than ten dollars, great value. Nicely landscaped. Conveniently located off major highway. Safe outdoor activity during pandemic.

    This place is average and I'd say overrated. The animals are cute but not integrated into the course and neither are the water features.

When all the other driving ranges or clubs in the area are either private or closed or too expensive, this facility is a true local legend! Always open, even in the rain or snow, year round, with heated overhead bays if you need - and real grass practice area, or even dedicated short game options as well, for serious practitioners during the season. None of the fancy clubs in the area can compare despite their pedigrees. Add to that an actually quality restaurant, pickle ball soon for the more recreational experience, and not even to mention the most friendly and supportive team of maintenance and operating personnel including the owner Jodi who is the very model of small business excellence, and no matter your appetite for activity, you can't go wrong here. I rarely leave reviews, or reviews this long, but I could go on for paragraphs about how truly invaluable a hub of passion and performance this place has been for me and innumerable other local very high level (but budgeted) golfers (all of whom, if you happen to be learning or improving, most likely are so friendly or kind that they'll probably give you free lessons while you're practicing if you ask). It's only a matter of time before the first famous PGA or Korn Ferry or just YouTube professional golfers arise from this place, one of the best kept (though maybe not anymore ha) golf secrets of all Central Connecticut, maybe the whole state. PS. I saw some other folks mentioned a few topics to which I noticed the early lights out seem to have been fixed, and now are on motion detectors, so even if you're the only one there, they go on for the section of driving range you're using, and there seem to be totally new balls put into rotation last year - pretty awesome!
