We were skeptical about this course based on the overall ratings, but decided to give it a try…read more What a pleasant surprise! Our family has played lots of mini golf courses, and while this one is very basic (you won't find the landscaping and/or special effects you see in Myrtle Beach) it is well-maintained and we had a great time. There are two courses to play. The holes are deceptively simple--they proved to be challenging even for the more experienced players--the greens had some nice undulations that made them a little tricky. Don't let reviews by people who give one star without having played the course simply because a sign was incorrect during the off-season sway you from giving it a try if you're in the mood for mini golf.

Cons: I agree with prior reviews that the man at the counter was grumpy and no people skills (woman was opposite and ok), for the length of game and return - IMO it's overpriced (paid almost $30 for 2 people for half hour game - same thing is half price in my area). Overall I wouldn't recommend as overpriced, not worth it and environment is unwelcoming.

Not much for younger toddlers except the baby swings on the side, a small slide, and an orange fish bridge that my daughter got a kick out of. Other slides and things to climb on seem great for ages maybe 5-12. I will say there were older kids/mostly teenagers there when we went at noontime during the week. There is a restroom and plenty of picnic seating for lunch after playtime. You wouldn't know this park was here unless you lived nearby or were specifically looking for it. It's not really on a main road or indicated very obviously in my opinion. As we drove in, we noticed that the grounds seemed pretty large and like there would be lots to offer--baseball field, campgrounds etc. Overall a nice park. My only qualm is that there isn't much for toddlers here.

They have "rangers" (cocky men who never got enough attention front their moms and couldn't make the police force) who stop and yell at you for being 1-3 minutes behind schedule? We were on time and on schedule until hole seven. At whole seven there's a sign that tells you to call a number to order your food ahead so it'll be ready for pick up when you get there so you're not behind pace of play and back up the course. And WE DID EXACTLY THAT. But lo and behold NO ONE ANSWERED THE TWO NUMBERS LISTED TO CALL (3 of us tried calling several times) AND THE QR CODE DIDNT WORK ON THE WEBSITE. We Tried from whole seven until we finished hole nine. By that time, we just drove up to the clubhouse and bought our food. We had to wait 20 to 30 minutes for our food. AGAIN WE TRIED EVERYTHING WE COULD, AND AND FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS. But those instructions did not work. After we finished our lunch and headed back to the course, we were be bullied and spoken down to by several "rangers". They told us they were gonna kick us off the course and not let us continue to play because we were so behind. The kicker is they kept telling us we were 20 to 30 minutes behind. Which is the time we waited for our food... The food that we tried to order earlier. They told us we were just had to pick up all our balls and move on. Because we were slowing everyone down. BUT THERE WAS ONLY ONE THREESOME BEHIND US THAT WASN'T EVEN KEEPING UP WITH OUR FOURSOME. So most of the time they were two holes behind us. And no one in front of us. It was so hot everyone left the course. We were rated yelled at and spoken down to several times and I REFUSE TO EVER RETURN. ILL NEVER AGAIN SPEND MY MONEY ON A COURSE WHO HIRES WANNABE COPS WITH A MOM COMPLEX TO BULLY ITS PLAYERS.

Folks are friendly and the neighborhood is great. (Full disclosure: my parents live in the Lakes and my dad golfs regularly.) Blossoms is the latest incarnation of the Magnolia Greens golf course clubhouse restaurant. I first reviewed it back in 2011, when it was called Magnolia Grill. While the interior may have been updated in the intervening years, the boxy space is the same. You definitely get a "golf course clubhouse restaurant" vibe here, and I assume patrons are primarily from the neighborhood, or golfers. It's a friendly place to gather and eat before or after a round of golf. Destination dining, it is not. Breakfast and lunch menus are available, and it's your basic golf course clubhouse food. A selection of salads and sandwiches at lunch, and all the breakfast basics earlier in the day. There are few gluten free options, but I was able to enjoy the Blossoms salad with homemade balsamic vinaigrette. (I heard on good authority this salad is a favorite of the ladies' golf group.) It's a large portion, and leftovers kept well for another meal the following day. My husband opted for the cheeseburger and fries, which he deemed below average. "Two star, tasted like meatloaf." The all-beef hot dog plate that wandered by our table looked good, and may be an option for me on a return visit, sans bun. Informal surveys of the regulars seem to indicate that breakfast is the best meal served at Blossoms. So get there early and fill up before hitting the links.
