Buoy 18 Miniature Golf, Ice Cream, Arcade, Bubble Tea

Let's be honest, mini golf is just a good time no matter what age you are or who you're with. This place is in a good location, cheap, unlimited times around, clean and a good challenging course. I really enjoyed it here and will go back anytime I'm looking to brush up on my putting skills.

Staff was great, course was fine. 4 stars mainly cause of the small, crowded feel of the course; that being said it's a very well put together course, with some challenging greens; the waterfall by the end ate my daughter's ball(oops). The arcade was fun(and free with mini golf purchase), foosball, air hockey, ping pong, pacman, racing games, guitar hero, etc. We come here for ice cream a few times every summer when we spend the day by the river. Definitely recommend!!

I came across Buoy Miniature Golf and Ice Cream Place after doing a Google search. We drove an hr just to check it out. I was very impressed with the putt putt course and how well it was kept up. The ice cream shop was very nice with alot of choices to choose from. The employees were very friendly also. My family and I also enjoyed the fact it was located right on the water. What a beautiful sight to watch the boats come in while enjoying your ice cream or Bubble Tea. I would highly recommend this place.

WOW! My boyfriend and I were up in Bay City for our anniversary and we were looking for something fun to do.. $7 per person for the whole day, mini golf AND fun old school arcade games. Very fun time, would definitely recommend.

Great course with lots of variation including water challenges. Ice cream was delicious too.

The Goods: An amazing Miniature Golf course! Lots of fun challenging paths! Loved the water and waterfall and the chances of getting the ball in the water! Lots of fun! The Bad: The ice cream is really good there! However, they serve deep fried food there and one of the options is Chicken Tenders. I ordered chicken tenders. I usually tear the chicken tenders apart to dip it in BBQ sauce. The chicken was Very Raw!! ???? The deep fried food was undercooked, including the fries which were a bit over salted to

Coolest mini golf course my fianc? and I have ever been to! Such a neat little course, I recommend playing a round if you are in the area!

Fun little course. $7.50 a person is fair pricing. They could use some new balls though, they're pretty rough

This is a pretty mini-golf course! They have beautiful flowers and butterflies. The course is pretty basic, no windmills or tricky tunnels, but it is very enjoyable and extremely well maintained. The man working at the counter was really nice and gave us lots of information about the course. The only thing I did not care for was the loud pop music on the speakers around the course.

Great vibes, vegan ice cream, and ducks!

They dont sell my favorite ice cream anymore and they made all the sizes smaller and higher priced just ridiculous ill be going elsewhere

I highly recommend this place for everyone because the price is right and it's a fun spot to visit. If you play golf, you are welcome to use the old arcade for free, which is filled with throwbacks! It is right next to the water and park for a casual stroll or play with the kids. The ice cream shop, though! Best variety of flavors. Boba tea, light food, & ice cream. Quality business here ??

It's a good miniature golf course. Had a good time. The ice cream is great.

My grandson & I had a lot of fun. The workers are very nice & helpful. Pretty course with some good challenges. We will be back

What it lacks in newness, it makes up for in variety. Pay once, and golf all day. Same for the video game lounge. The food and ice cream selections are decent, and they even have Boba Tea.

Great family fun place for adventure putt putt golf. Also serve snacks and ice cream.

Just wow! First of all, that they are open 7 days a week for awhile after Labor Day is huge! Then the putt-putt is unlimited and only 7.50 per person! They have food and ice cream, too! In addition, they have an old school game room with everything from ice hockey to ping pong & pin-ball to Ms Pac-Man & more- all free!!

Good prices. Place was PACKED and the 3 guys working busted out orders like rockstars Very impressed. Tender basket, tenders were teeny tiny but the onion rings were fabulous.

A great family entertainment value! We paid once and were able to play putt-putt and the arcade games all day. Great prices. The ice cream was delicious. We did have to pay $7 to park when we came back in the afternoon, but we didn't in the morning. I'm not sure why they would charge parking fees since the small lot is right by and for their business?

Amazing and friendly workers. #1 place for me and my family to go for a delicious bowl or cone of icecream.

Awesome place our whole family loves! We especially appreciate the nice service and the excellent ice cream!

Fantastic mini golf experience! Very clean, well maintained and fun course with a beautiful view of the harbor and boat docks. Very fair pricing and there is also a sizable, unique arcade and wonderful ice cream parlor on the premises as well.

Very clean and well maintained. It was a fun experience. After golf we went to the ice cream area that has many yummy looking flavors, bubble tea, and snacks like Mac n cheese bites, mini corn dogs, and pretzel bites with cheese. We look forward to returning in the future!

Very nice and helpful employees. Fast service. BOBA TEA! The prices are average, the mini golf was a lot of fun for the family. I felt bad because we were so slow and had to keep letting people go in front of us. My only complaint is that the waterfall and rivers in the middle of the course aren't deep enough or suitable for swimming.

Need to have more control of customers . Customers feel they own it then the under trained staff would not fail . They would have control do there job. There must be rules set. Only complaint since 2020. And still going.

Excellent place to mini golf! We've been bringing our kids here for the last ten years or so. 18 holes, beautiful water features, and a walk-through cave. There is also an ice cream shop and game area on the site, but the real gem is the golf!

Great ice cream, great service

First time here , it was a small place but wonderful staff! Got 3 ice creams for the family and a bubble tea for mom! As far as the ice cream goes it was amazing! HIghly recommend getting Puppy chow and O O cheesecake together! As far as bubble tea i mean i didnt have high hopes i was just in the mood for some . Decently priced i got a 24oz for 5.50 if I remember right but the green tea tasted like soap water.. it wad a disappointment and the popping boba didn't have a strong flavor and wasn't fresh but it

Good value at $7.00 per person. They allow you to play as many rounds of golf as you would like to for this price. The downside of golfing here is that some of the plants along the course need to be trimmed back because it can be difficult to hit the ball at times. They have an arcade and sell ice cream and bubble tea. If you haven't tried bubble tea before I highly recommend you try it!! Drinking it is fun.....it is kind of like popping bubble wrap but with your mouth!!

Amazing mini-golf, amazing ice cream, amazing arcade, would rate 6/5 stars if I could. Also, they have boba tea which is impossible to get around Bay City normally

The best ice cream shop I have ever been to. Customer service is amazing and the ice cream there is even better. I definitely recommend, along with checking out the mini golf, course it always fun to play with friends and family!

One of my favorite miniature golf courses I've been to. The price was right and it was a fun course. On top of all that the ice cream was excellent and the service was great. The staff are friendly and very welcoming.

It's the best place in Bay City to play. Really clean!! Has all the extras that go with. Buy the ticket play all day if you want. Then spend time in the arcade. Kids love it!

We had a great day date. Very reasonably priced. Enjoyed a few rounds of golf, some ice cream, and a few video games. My nephew at the age of 7, was not to happy about all the trash hidden on the course from other people, so he asked for a trash bag and climbed in and out of some of the bushes to get the trash picked up. So please, leave places cleaner than you found it!!

Surprisingly fun miniature course. The snack bar was more than frozen fried food and we got free ice cream waffle cones!! Perfect place for a low key date...

42 different flavors, a lil lack on the shakes to be made though unless you want it to be chunky with all the stuff in the flavors. Prices were decent. $11 for 2, 1 scoop dishes and a 16oz shake. Recommend

We loved all the beautiful landscaping. You can tell there is a lot of work that goes into that course. The course itself was a blast and we loved trying bubble tea and ice cream afterwards. We will be back again.

Bubble tea review: I do not recommend their tea at all. The syrups were almost flavorless and they only had weakly brewed green tea as a base. Lastly, they didn't even offer the basic tapioca pearls, which was very disappointing.

I went there with my granddaughter. I got the wrong ice cream. Went back with my wife and was not satisfied with what we got.

The staff was very friendly. The greens were terrific. The ice cream was yummy and the ducks were friendly. Suggestion of more seating (benches) along the course. Overall great experience!!

Friendly staff and a great place to have fun with the family

The ice cream was delicious and the mini golf was fun. Be careful of the water traps! It is really easy to get your ball in one of the many different water traps. ??

Great fun for the mini golf enthusiast. While it may seem simple, there are not a lot of mini golf places around. This one is quite challenging with several water hazards and very deceiving green undulations. Add in a Groupon with golf and ice cream, and you've got a great time waiting for you!

Bouy18 accommodated our field trip of 43 students at the last minute when our other venue couldn't after being booked for 2 months. A huge thank you to Tim and the gang for helping us make memories. We had fun at putt putt, the arcade and of course their yummy ice cream!

My family stops by here regularly every summer, always great service and good ice cream. We met the owner last time and she was very nice a respectable, going out of her way for her patrons.

Went there about 8pm on a Thursday and all the children where sitting on the food counter. That'd absolutely disgusting!

As always the place looks great! Love the miniature golf course! The ice cream is wonderful and the prices are reasonable. Everyone working there was helpful and pleasant. Will be back for sure!

I was pretty impressed with the quality of ice cream and the expediency of service. The only complaint is that the small lobby was absolutely packed with 12 people and nobody would wait outside to prevent the overcrowding.

Wednesday was advertised as free waffle cone Wednesday. We were stoked when we heard this. But when we got their the only part of the waffle cone that was free was the actual cone you still had to pay for the ice cream!!

Great course! The holes were actually pretty challenging. It was really nice being right next to the water, and the landscaping looked great. The greens could have been taken care of a little better. There was a big puddle on one of the holes and some debris we needed to brush aside. Overall would putt again.

My daughter loves playing mini golf here

It's in mostly good condition. There are some missing bricks, but 100% playable. The ice cream shop is a wonderful way to end a game.

Outstanding big portions of ice cream,prices moderate.keep neat and clean.great ice cream!

Mini golf course and service deserves 5 stars, but what brings this recreational center down is the root beer float. 5 scoops of ice cream to a splash of root beer is a ridiculous ratio. I ordered a root beer float, not a cup of vanilla ice cream that you accidentally spilled some root beer in. Other then that, would recommend to friend or family member.

This is a great place to go with the family. They had a variety of ice cream, and the ice cream was delicious. Also, the miniture golf course was well maintained, and it was a great time for the adults and kids.

Lots of fun! Great ice cream! Proprietor was awesome - outstanding experience. We will return next spring.

Staff was courteous . They seemed very overwhelmed with the crowd. It is a little bit of a small lobby. Kind of like sardines in a tin can. Overall ok.

A beautiful course! The wildflowers attract butterflies and bees while you putt on a wonderfully maintained course. The real water hazards are so fun too!

Love this place , good ice cream , by water and you get to see boats as you walk and also see people riding their bikes along the same path u walk . Very peaceful and beautiful . Cool little arcade room also and mini golf is cool.

A very great place to take the family. Huge variety of ice creams. Highly recommend

What a great place to enjoy family and eat ice cream too

Fun place for mini golf. I love the beautiful landscaping!

Good ice cream and a walk around to see the flowers or the boats at Liberty Marina.

Such a cute little putt putt place. The staff was nice. The place was clean. We had a good time. The prices on drinks and ice cream wasn't bad either.

One of my personal favorites, especially for not being homemade. Plus they add new and different flovors each year. I recommend trying the Apple pie icecream, which is new this season.

The course was much better maintained them most I've been to. They offer a one time pay and you can play all day, which is also a great option.

Good deals on Groupon and the landscaping is beautiful. The course is well maintained also. Yummy ice cream too!

My daughter and granddaughters surprised me with this fun place for my birthday ??! It was amazing with ice cream and a scooter ride around the bay...fun place to go ???????

Had fun with family, but very overgrown but that added to the ?? butterflies everywhere. Was fun and cheap with a Groupon witg free ice-cream at the end

Fun course with music and views of the Marina, don't forget the delicious ice cream!

Friendly staff. Butterfly garden on the course. We saw six different ones. Golf was challenging for Grandma and easy enough for kids. Loved it.

The golf course was a lot of fun and you could play as many rounds as you want. However, the ice cream server was rude and have me a cup when I asked for a cone.

Course was very poorly maintained! Worst that we've seen, and we go to a lot of mini golf. We still had fun but it definitely needs some TLC.

I will be back the ice cream is fantastic the vibe and people are amazing I tried the Tennessee toffee it was fantastic

We went there at 8:30 and they close at 9 and they shut all the lights off and laughed at us while leaving.

They have really good ice cream and bubble tea here. The service is always awesome and the place is well kept.

Putt putt...amazing Ice cream with the hoke made waffle cones....amazing 10/10

Good selection of ice cream. Also a nice little Putt-Putt Golf course.

Best priced ice cream, and open til 10pm!!

Very good place to play putt-putt golf and the arcade too!! Good ice cream!! Great staff!!

Went to bouy 18 on a cold Monday night in baycity to get a shake, Trevor waited on me and gave stellar customer service, he was digging the shorts, 10/10, will come back soon

Good selection of ice cream. Good sized portions. You can also get in a round of miniature golf.

Nice place but a bit pricey .Putt putt course is fun.

Super good little spot right on the water. The golf was good and the ice cream and bubble teas, where on point.

Cute little place, HUGE ice cream cones, get a single, because even that is huge! Take your family here, its such a nice place.

Oh my goodness, best ice cream I have had in a long time. They even had chocolate chip ice cream, which no one has.

Good scoop ice cream portions for the money. $6 per person putt-putt. Friendly staff.
