Cascades is beautifully maintained, but the holes are a bit boring, lots of short putts, everything is PAR 2. Not very many obstacles TBH, maybe I was spoiled on the West Coast with awesome windmill and skill obstacles. The super-low skill level probably makes it more kid-friendly, and mostly it was parents with young kids. They know where the market is, tho seniors and teenagers get $1 off regular price ($13 instead of $14) what a deal, LOL. I'd come back, but goddamn, bring some water or food or something, it's a long f'n wait. We even joked about calling Skip the Dishes while we we were waiting. Only decent mini-golf in Montreal area, apparently. Worse wait than Disneyland. Expect to stand in line (line ride) for at least an hour, then another hour (bench ride) until you golf. Kudos to all the kids who kept their behaviour controlled through the brutal boring wait. Keeps the ice cream shop flush I guess. They are definitely set up better to sell ice cream to a captive audience than they are to accommodate hoards of folks coming to mini-golf. The real money is there after all.

I used to come here as a kid with my parents…read more The course is so much fun and brought back many great childhood memories. Tons of different pars and challenges. The fact that each hole is on a different level makes this mini putting experience enjoyable and different from other places. However, be advised that there is an initial 40min wait to get to the first hole on a busy day. It is still worth it. Prices are decent and not too expensive for what you play for. Grab an ice cream at the local ice cream shop in the same complex when you're done, it's delicious!

Expect your ball to run to one side or another due to the leaning green surfaces. Don't ask about the water features not being functioning! Your be told that they are conserving water due to the hot summer (coldest and wettest in years) or will be ignored completely. My suggestion is to spend you money elsewhere until this place cleans up its act!

Pricing moderate, and if you are the winning team on trivia, you win your choice of a beverage at the end of the course. Definitely a fun thing to do!!! Cannot wait to go back this summer!!

Truth be told, Essex Family Fun & Entertainment center seems old and a little rundown. There's…read morenothing flashy or eye-catching here: the mini golf course doesn't have thematic obstacles, and the holes need a little TLC, as the turf has been roughly patched and is running bare in some spots. The bats at the batting cages are battered, and most of the clubs available at the driving range aren't from this century. But despite the need for repairs, this place truly does offer a fun spot for family and friends to gather for outdoor activities. Even though the hole designs weren't the most fun I've ever played, I enjoyed my round, and thought it was beautiful with the waterfalls, flowers, and greenery surrounding the course. On top of that, the girl working the desk was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made for an even better experience. Don't go in expecting the nicest equipment or facilities, but you can definitely plan to have fun here!
