We had our son's 11th birthday party at Big Don's, a laser tag party. The price was right, it was easy - all we had to do was show up with the cake - and the children had a great time. The young man assigned to our party was pleasant, helpful and interacted well with the children.

Big Don's is truly a place for the whole family. From the wonderful miniature golf course to the rock climbing wall that our kids love. The golf course is one that is sure to challenge you but also not be to hard for the kids to still enjoy themselves. When you are done golfing there are so many more things... More

Big Don's is a fun place to have a party or just have some fun on warm summer night. I have visited BDs over 20 times and always enjoy myself. they have a quality miniature golf course that hopefully will see the return of the gimmicky specialty spinner holes requiring you to do stunts like standing on one leg and...

Thanks for your kind words. Due to comments like yours that people missed the Spinners we did drag out the Mischief Spinners again and have them working on the course. It's great to see people enjoying the quirky shots and hearing their comments when playing with them. Thanks again, Big Don More

This is advertised as a resort level mini golf. This course is average at best. Their are better courses in the area to visit.

Thanks for the 3 stars. The idea for calling our course a "resort level course" actually comes from our customers. In our 9 years of operation we have had hundreds of them tell us that our course evokes memories of playing at courses at vacation destinations all over the country. In that our course is built by the same firm... More

as locally-grown miniature golf courses go, this one is pretty wild, and popular, some really exotic holes and proper for all ages except the somewhat infirm... price is right, too... but do avoid the near-sunset times, as many a mosquito will join your foursome without asking to play through

Thanks Doug for taking the time to write a nice review. Glad you enjoyed your visit. Sorry you encountered our winged "friends". For our future guests, if you do have the bad luck to encounter skeeters around sunset (that's the outdoors in the summer folks) keep in mind that we almost always have free mosquito repellant out at the counter...

I took my son using a Seize the Deal voucher. The mini golf took us all of 10 minutes to complete. Their website stated that some of the holes had spinners with ideas on "different" ways to hit the ball. Most of the spinners were broken off. Parents have to pay individually for all of the activities this place has... More

Thank you for visiting our facility. I am sorry that it did not completely meet your expectations in particular that the website indicated that we are operating Mischief Spinners on some of the holes which we actually did not do this season. We will correct that on our website. I am not sure why it took only 10 minutes to... More
