Customer Reviews

Our family tried this place out today for the first time, though we have lived nearby for years. Wish we hadn't waited so long! It is the best mini golf course I have ever been to, with really interesting course/hole layouts. But the best thing is how beautiful the landscaping and property is and how meticulously well it is maintained. The owners do an amazing job! We had such a great time and will be back with friends!

Fantastic little putt putt course. It's well lit and very safe. Super clean and the course is definitely challenging and fun. The staff is really helpful and polite. Love this little neighborhood gem??

This place is amazing. Whomever owns it, cares a lot about it because upkeep is amazing. Lots of parking. Clean restrooms, and friendly staff. We enjoyed our time here. Not a lot of shade in the summer, but owners are thoughtful and have ADDED sun umbrellas and misting fans. Bring water and dress in Texas summer clothing. So much fun. I promise if you love mini golf. You will love this place

Really fun and highly recommended for all! This course has a great mixture of easy and hard holes. They also have a unique amount of double layered holes (where the ball goes through a pipe), which is really enjoyable. To keep people cool they also have outdoor fans at the beginning of every other whole to keep you cool during those hot summer days. Also their beverages are really cheap! Overall I had a great experience and would come back again!

So I took the family out to have a fun day and we had an awesome time. Prior to arriving we called and asked if the course was stroller accessible and they said yes and that it was also the website shows that it's wheelchair accessories but it's not. That would be my only real gripe. We showed up with a stroller larger then most so I get that it wasn't ideal but even a normal sized stroller would be very difficult to get up and down all the steps. There are trails of concrete to push on but there are also q

We had so much fun. It is a very pretty 18 hole course. The motif is rustic dessert, and ponds with frogs that sing, best heard at night. The holes range from easy to challenging. Each hole has a bench and score table with a pencil for easy score keeping. Very clean. And they have snacks, and bottled drinks available. Picnic tables, old fashioned arcade games, and clean restrooms. I absolutely loved it here.

This is the best mini golf course I've ever played! The owners are so sweet, the course is clean and super fun, and there are a few games inside. Their website is great and updated with any variations in times of operation. This will be my new go-to place to play! ?? Note: there are a lot of stairs and up & down hills.

Great place to play a round. It's a bit on the expensive side considering it's not very convenient and there isn't much else to do in the area. We have been several times as it has just the right amount of challenge and is set up well.

We had a wonderful time! The woman who gave us our clubs was so friendly & welcoming. The facility was clean. We had a lot of fun and will be back again with our kids!

Very well kept mini golf course. The staff was friendly and the landscaping was very nice. Fun place to take the kiddos and its cheap.

This place is a local gem. It's $9 to play and $7 for a second round. The course is a lot of fun with a good mix of challenging holes. I love the landscape and water features. Some of the holes are in the shade and they have fans with misters throughout the course. There's a nice pavilion to visit before or after you play, along with the clubhouse that has restrooms, air hockey and some old school arcade games. They offer group discounts for parties over 15, but it's best if you let them know ahead of time.

Our youth group had so much fun at mini golf. Thank you for being so kind to our large group. We love your unique course. #TheSparkyAgent

We vacationed in Texas and we found hidden valley mini golf online and wanted to try it out. We took an Uber a substantial distance, with our daughter to find out they were closed. As we were sitting on the curb trying to book another Uber ride, the owner pulls in and says, you guys can golf for free. He was fantastic! He turned on everything in the prestine course! We had a great time and he waited until we were done and until he knew we had a ride and then he left to carry on with his busy day. It was a g

No visit to Fort Worth is complete without a stop at Hidden Valley mini golf. We absolutely love this place! The golf course is so much fun and is always in good shape. The holes are interesting and the grounds pretty.

A great place to host a birthday party/event! Clean, beautifully kept course. Our family had a wonderful time.

Best mini golf course I've played on. Beautiful landscaping and very well kept. Would highly recommend it

Hello Everyone, Now I love miniature golf when I pulled up it didn't look like much , but when I passed by the gate OMG love ??. We were welcomed by Ginger. If her OCD is as bad as mine God love her! There were pencil holders at each hole ?never seen that before?. Restrooms very clean and picnic tables available. Thank you Ginger T 2hrs

A charming American Treasure! Hidden Valley is a must for Minigolf lovers and anyone needing a fun, relaxing time. The owners obviously put a lot of time and care into landscaping and maintenance of the property. It's so hard to find a Minigolf facility with such rich history that's in such great condition. They don't build places like this anymore. Just wonderful Minigolf.

It was great fun and less expensive. I think it's more fun and challenging than putt putt. We always come out to spend family time.

Is a great spot to spend an afternoon. It is a great value and a good spot for date. Lots of shade and good challenges on the course.

Love going each year for our annual Memorial Day round! Fun had by all again this year.

Fantastic course! Well maintained, clean, and quiet! Some challenging holes, but lots of fun!

We came here for the first time on Saturday! It was so much fun! Eva was an absolute delight! This fun place was so clean and well maintained. The course is like none we have ever played and trust me at our age we have played a lot! LOL! They do have plenty of shade and misting fans which helped with the heat. We loved it so much we are bringing our friends in a couple of weeks that are coming from out of town.

Friendly staff! Clean! Price is great! Fun layout with wonderful holes!

We had a lot of fun today! The owners are awesome! Will defintely go back! The course was challenging and a really great way to laugh at yourself with family.

Best mini golf course I have been to. Enjoyed it so much I came back the next day and I stay over 40 minutes away. Fun challenging obstacles. The windmill is my favorite because you have to time it just right to get it through the center little door that goes up and down. Lady on staff was very friendly and interactive.

A little older but super clean and well put together. Perfect for a light date, takes 30 or so to finish. Will definitely be visiting again!

This is a true gem, course is fun and challenging, and beautifully landscaped to include plenty of shade. The owners were out policing the rowdy teens to keep a very family friendly, fun environment. You can tell that this place is well loved and cared for. Hidden Valley will get my repeat business.

This place is well cared for and allot of fun. The family really enjoyed it.

So much fun! The decor was cute and it was nice and slow when we went. Really feel like this is a little diamond in the rough. Great holes for both beginners and more advanced.

Such a hidden gem! We went to hidden valley today & had a great time. The course is pretty & very well maintained. There are trees for shade, benches if needed, & "spray fans" to keep you cool. Still can't believe my husband got a hole in one on the 18th hole :)

This place was fun and beautiful. We went in the evening on 7.13.18 and had fun on the course and in the arcade. Adults- $7; Children- $3. The lady at the front, Aletha? was very nice and helpful. After we finished the course we played in their mini arcade. The arcade had 4 games including Mrs. PacMan where a new high score was set. ;-) They also have a cute game where you can throw a baseball and get it on radar to see how fast you throw. A great time at a beautiful putt-putt course!

We visited on a very chilly Texas day! Rorie, the owner, met us at my car and insisted we should play despite being the first and only customers of the day. He used a leaf blower to clear the (not-messy) greens, chatted with us, and told us about his horse (who usually peeks over the fence when we're golfing). ??

This place is AMAZING. The putting green is VERY well taken care of, the workers are friendly, they have cheap concessions, and it is landscaped like a fine art gallery. Everything is superb! My favorite part is the putting green though... Unlike other places where you hit a shot and then it goes in random unpredictable directions, you can actually apply skill here, and there are plenty of purposeful trick shot paths open to try it with. Will you take the easy lay-up shot, or risk it all for the hole in one

This is a great place for a family outing, very cool putt putt course. The man at the counter is very cool when we got finished I asked if he could take a group pic of us and he did it with no hesitation.

Best mini golf course I've ever been too! Can't miss place

Hidden Gem!! Amazing course at $10! Always clean and well maintained by the elders that own it, amazing commitment!

PROS: Wonderful course, 10$ per first play/person and 5$ for additional after that. Clean, much more variation and thoughtful hole design than what you'd find at a regular putt-putt, and even some elevation change and automated obstacles and unconventional greens. CONS: Only issue is that the summer heat has caused some of the holes to raise up from the turf as the ground dried and shrunk, so even if the ball should sink on your putt, it'll either hit and bounce off or skirt the rim of the hole. I had a 7

Classic mini golf course, with some nice elevation changes. Stairs and hills throughout could use some handrails, but we managed well enough. Benches or other places to sit at every hole.

We love coming here. The staff is friendly and courteous. Not your typical putt-putt, this one is fun and challenging. Very well designed course. I wish there were more like this around. Great place for the family or a date night. More fun things to do inside as well. Plenty of parking available. Also they have picnic tables outside for group parties or events for an additional fee. Call for reservations and availability.

This was so fun! I was talking to my science teacher about that my family was gonna go mini golfing and he recommended this place. Not disappointed! My only regret was that I didn't get photos. Thank you for a nice boys day out!

Course was great! And fun place to be if you aren't around the people at the front desk not sure if they are the owners or just employees but I'm not sure if they like people or kids for that matter? very abrasive and kinda bad attitudes. My son grabbed an ice cream out of the little freezer, he hadn't opened or even put it anywhere near his mouth and the older man asked me ?you're gonna pay for that, right?!? Before I could even make it to the counter to pay! Definitely not a place to be if you have kids

My husband loves mini golf so we have been to a lot of places and this one is one of the most nicely maintained places we have ever been to. The holes are all very fun and you can tell there is a lot of fun and passion put into this small business. We HIGHLY recommend giving them a visit!

Old man is very rude. My friends and I got kicked out for having fun. Old man was watching us play the whole time. Been there plenty of times and it was fun but the old man ruined it. He accused me of hitting to grass when I didn't. He asked if I hit the ball and to play you kinda have to. With respect I said yes sir I hit the ball. He said give me the ball boy. I don't know if he was racist but sure seemed like it. He only said stuff to me and my Mexican friend but nothing to my white friend. No one was th

This course is so much fun and brought lots of laughs for our family.

10$ per person Easy date night.

Great place for mini golf! We went as a large group and had a blast.

Great place if u like mini golf

Excellent place, had a great time!

Had a great time with my kids and husband! Definitely will be going back! There were shade trees and fans and beverages and snacks at a great price and the price to play was great as well not expensive at all! The lady working in front is very helpful and sweet too! It was a great experience and we will be back several times!

Great in the cut place to play a friendly game of golf. Good for a friend day or date. It can get hot but there is more shade than not shade. It's only 9$ to golf which is good bc it took about a hour or more to clear 19 holes. Great place to e joy the outdoors and have fun.

Great hidden gem! The course was very clean and well maintained. The owner was there keeping it clean and the lady at the desk was extremely friendly. Would definitely go back again. I'm glad we tried it out.

Owner was rude, talked about us to other patrons saying we were holding them up. We had let two other groups go ahead of us. Need railing in several areas for stairs, dangerous. Won't go back because of how we were treated.

Quiet, clean, fun, great customer service. We had a good time! It was really hot but there are mist machines and shady spots.

This is by far the best miniature-golf course I've ever seen! The fun yet challenging holes make for a fantastic experience. The grounds are extremely well manicured, and plenty of trees make for a cool, shaded evening during the summer time. The price per round at Hidden Valley is exceptional! Especially with half-price the second time around. If you're looking for a fun time go no further!

I had the ?un? pleasure of witnessing the older lady that owns this place berate her employees over something ridiculous. I cannot believe you speak to human beings the way you do. You sell out of date snacks, the game room is not air conditioned so it's 150 degrees inside, and you micromanage people playing mini golf-don't step on the gravel, don't touch that, etc.- to the point that it's in not enjoyable. There is a reason there is a ?now hiring? sign out front every time I drive by.

I went to Hidden Valley last weekend and had a blast. It was very affordable, $7 per person, and a challenging yet fun course. The course is very clean, well taken care of, and the woman that was working there was very friendly and helpful since it was our first time there. Definitely would recommend as a family outing or date night!

This mini golf was awesome. We had a blast with our family. The kids loved it. We will be back when we are in the area.

Great little mini-golf spot! Had a lot of fun. Cooling fan on most holes. And, not far from where i live.

What a great course! It's kind of hidden away. I wasn't expecting it to be so clean and well kept. You can tell people have put a lot of work and have a lot of pride for their business. I'll definitely be back!

I honestly loved this place!.18 holes that are fun and challenging . Super affordable. Very peaceful and well kept! Plenty of trees and little waterfalls . there are fans amd misters while playing in hot temperatures. Pencils at each hole so u can just mark n go to the next hole. The owner? Or manager ? was so helpful and friendly. He explained the rules and even offered to keep our personal belongings safe while we played. I will definitley be back . i say better than putt putt .

This is a great spot for the family. It's totally clean and the prices are very good. I love the variety when it comes to difficulty. And it's just a great place to bring the family especially if you're older to relive some of your childhood memories. Make sure if you're in the area to stop by and put a few!

First time going to this place and I thought it was really cool. I like the old fashioned mini golf by to get from there in the courses are very well thought and I like the way they play. Looks for the most part pretty taken care of. Definitely want to go back soon. I forgot the name of the gentleman who is at the front but he was really nice and talked about the significance of the history and his life of this golf course in the city and as well as took care of us and explain how everything worked.

A really fun activity for our small town! We had so much fun!

Make sure you read the rules of the game before entering the course. My two grandkids and I got kicked out after whole one . The owner pointed at my grandson and yelled out to him . Not a pleasant experience to say the least. My grandson is only seven years old and didn't understand the game. And I wasn't experience either. The rules are on the back of the score card , I found out that after being kicked out with no refund. Will never ever visit this old man's cou

We love this place. So clean, nice greens. It is an older park so it has the fun multi-levels, hitting threw the windmill door, up and down and all around fun fun fun... Great for date night. You have to let her win, like I do ;) ;) , no really!!!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE IF YOU HAVE KIDS! We tried it for the first time earlier today. The man at the front desk was extremely grumpy and rude from the get go! HE MUST HATE KIDS! He didnt allow us to play just to have fun. Serious golfers only! My family paid $40 to only make it through 3 holes and 10min worth of play before we were fed up! The guy stared at us the whole time with his hands on his hips and a disgusted glare so he could yell at us the whole time. He yelled for them stop playing out of tur

Average course with a few extraordinary difficult holes and some unbelievably easy ones. Our favorite part was the misting fans. We were crazy for trying to push a stroller thru (so many steps everywhere) but it helped contain our toddler. We will go back when toddler is old enough to enjoy, too.

Everything seemed normal until the attendant started to micromanage our crew. We have a large family (14) with little kids so naturally the kids wanted to play together and the adults wanted to play without all the kids just hitting everyone else?s balls. (Please note that when we arrived it had just stopped raining, there was only one other couple in the entire course.) She was upset that we did not divide the groups as she requested so she took it upon herself to go outside before we even began the course

We had a great time. The course was fun. The place is clean. The only thing that would've made it even better is if there were a couple more mist fans. (The ones they do have feel refreshing in the Texas heat.)

The most fun my three grandsons have had, without their face stuck in a screen, in a long time! Beautifully designed and manicured, this gem of a miniature golf course is challenging and exciting. Flowing water throughout adds a relaxing dimension to the very shaded course. The $7 price tag was well worth the entertainment and laugher our family shared. We'll be back!

Nice looking course, challenging but not too difficult and great for all ages. Took about an hour and a half to complete. Will come back for sure!

Have now been here twice in a month. Once on a weekday and once on a weekend. Weekday was nice and quiet, allowing a nice peaceful experience. Weekend? Well, we probably did a few things wrong. I have a feeling people are lining up at 945 for the 10am opening. We showed around 10:45 and there was quite a backup. The employee is nice. Adheres to proper COVID recommendations (that's not a part of the county that really cares much about that). She did remind larger groups ahead of us (which she made sure were

Friendly staff, great fun layout. Much more difficult than your average mini golf course. Some may it looks outdated or needs renovation but I think the worn look adds to the uniqueness. Not super far away from Ft. Worth.

We had a blast! This place was very fun! I suggest opening earlier due to the heat.

This is a great miniature golf course! A challenging yet fun experience for anyone... of all ages. With a great price of 7$ per round of 18 holes, well kept and manicured grounds, and friendly service; this place is unbeatable.

We were there at the same time as Crystal Armstrong. Her kids had 0 manners for other players nearby. They were climbing all over the place and all over the grass. Not one person in your group had enough decency to correct them or apologize. I'm very glad yall left as the rest of the experience was great as always.

Great and inexpensive place to have a date night or to come with the family! Love this place!

Hidden Valley has been in this community since I was a child. Considering that I am more than half a century old, that's saying something (good). Although the property is well kept and modernizations have kept up with current code and ordinances, Hidden Valley has the look and feel as it did when I was a child. Another reviewer described it as a "hidden gem" and I could not agree more!

My son and I had a great time!!! We will definitely be back for a rematch! Beautiful course, meticulously maintained, challenging but still fun. Worth the 10 minute drive from 820.

True to its name, its a little hidden but worth finding. Great courses with fun little obstacles and ways to get to some holes. Chatted with the clerk and she said its was built in the 1970s and basically the same as it was built since she used to play there as a teenager. Little bonus they have pencils at the end of each hole so you don't need to care one.

Honestly, I was skeptical of the 5 star rating on this course because it's so much higher then the other mini golf places in the metroplex but it was really, really cool! It was a great balance of challenge while still being fun! Would recommend.

Great course, well manicured. Nice covered party area too. Will be back :)

The best old fashioned mini golf ever! Morning and evening clerks super friendly. Challenging bi-level and Tri-level holes. Shade, benches, a misting fan area, very well lit after dark, Prices good. Second game half price. We left after 1st game, for lunch and cool off, came back hours later and the lady voluntarily gave us half price without my asking. My only problem was that the heat has made the club handles sticky. I took wet wipes to hold clubs with our second time. Mentioned to lady and she found a

So fun and so pretty! They don't sell or allow alcoholic beverages but they have sodas, water, and snacks. It looked like there was a grill and a cute little patio area, so you can bring your own food to cook as well. Will be back with friends next time.

This is a great place! Lots of beautiful landscaping and the holes/greens are well maintained. The misting fans are also very nice on a hot day. We will definitely be back.

Had a great time. It was inexpensive (3 people for 21 dollars), the scenery was beautiful and the different holes offered a variety of challenges. The lady at the front desk was really nice and helpful.

We went here as a stop on our honeymoon! I loved the course, it was fun and added a fun twist to putt putt. Only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that they never give us cards to keep score on. And it was a little expensive for putt putt, but overall fun!

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
