Customer Reviews

Three Great mini golf courses! Well maintained with friendly staff. They offer hole in one scratch- off prize cards for more play and indoor games! We had a blast and some low scores on this course!! Cool brewery next store also! Have fun and play more goofy golf!

My wife and I loved it. All three courses were fun to play. The staff were helpful and friendly. They had a small arcade with a few games that were enjoyable. We will be back. Brought back memories of the Putt-Putt in Portage, MI before it closed its doors.

This is such a wonderful place. The family that run Putt Putt are top notch quality. This is one of the few places left that still has the nostalgic feel we all chase after, esp in the day of cellphones. Between the arcade and the putt putt, you can show your kiddos old school fun. This is the type of place you'd come to hang out with your friends in the 80s/90s and so glad we have it in town!

Fun putt putt with good prices. A little outdated, a lot of the course was the same, which got repetitive for the kids. I would strongly recommend they update and add some exciting obstacles, and maybe trees for shade. Overall, okay place if there are no other putt putt options available.

A friend and I bought 2 games. We only decided to play 1. The staff told us no problem bring back the card/receipt at any time in the future to play the last game. It will never expire. That was pretty cool that they did that

Very nice spot to have fun at. Kids had a great time also had an arcade inside where you can win prizes very nice spot with friendly service.

Well-kept, affordable mini golf in Mishawaka! 3 different courses, arcade inside, and concessions available. We had a great time!

My sons and I went to Putt Putt for the first time in quite a while. We had so much fun playing golf and even checked out the games inside. We will definitely be going back

absolutely amazing experience all around for my kids. best place to play some mini golf and arcade games for a 3&5yo bday party!

Great little place to have fun with your family. All the employees were friendly, and the facility was clean and kept.

My kids and i had an absolutely blast. The customer service was fantastic and i will be back for sure. I recommend bringing a pack lunch and making a day of it cause theres plenty to do.

The kids and I went here a number of times over the summer. There are three different mini golf courses and I think we played them all twice. They are well maintained. The arcade isn't huge, but offers a decent amount of options. My boys prefer to use all their tokens on the claw machine anyway. The service has been friendly and helpful every time we have visited.

A very basic and average experience. You can choose one of the 18 holes for about $7 or play all three?but all three courses were basically identical. Every hole was basically the same length, sometimes with a small incline and sometimes with a blocker or two.

Same great place that I have been going to for 40 years.

Evenings are great under the lights. With little ones its nice to go early morning and have a less crowded and relaxed pace. Perhaps a bit dated but to me a reliable classic family experience.

Fun courses for all levels of play! Kids always have a blast.

I took my grandson there , it's still nice and clean , good greens , and the Mondays special $ 9 for unlimited golf from 10 am till 4 pm is a great deal , with the games inside , you could spent a couple of hours easy

Came here with my family as a small event and some of the machines wrongly paid us out and others outright didn't work. Plus this location didn't have golf karts. Probably wouldn't return. Employees were a little rude and unhelpful.

Had a great time there! The staff helped us every step of the way with it being our first time, and they were very kind and accommodating. They even helped the special needs kid I was with and helped the kid feel welcomed.

Great place for some fun putt-putt. We had a great time playing. Service people are friendly and quick. We laughed Ann's had a great time. Bring bug spray as the mosquitoes are vicious.

Such a fun place to putt-putt! Great for families and adults of all ages. They have three different courses that you can do, and each one is a bit unique. You can do each course multiple times and still have fun! Even with it being next to a busy road, we don't find it too distracting.

It was a great place. I purposed to my fianc? there it was the best. The guy who worked there help me make it magical ??. If you ever need a place to purpose I recommend this place.

Had a great experience here tonight and the man at the front desk who helped me was so kind and helpful!!

3 courses. In good shape. Never been overly crowded. Many places to sit and rest while waiting on people in front of you. Their scenery feels welcoming. Not too expensive.

My kids love coming here. They enjoy both putt putt and arcade. And, if you get a hole in one, you get a sort of lottery ticket but you can get free tokens or discounts. But you only get one scratch match and win. I have been coming here more often than I have used to.

This is a perfect and cheap plan for going in family. The kids love it. It is so much fan both the mini golf and the arcade. The owners are amazing and keep the place in perfect condition. They also had amazing staff. Everybody is so nice. They have special prices on Sundays.

Very fun atmosphere, decent arcade and very nice putt putt courses. The course is taken care of well and the prices are fair.

Could use some updates but we love it. The best part is moms get to putt for free on mother's day and dads the same on father's day. It has become a tradition

We visited this Putt-Putt location with a group from school. I was impressed with how patient the staff member we spoke to was with our students and their questions. He explained things well, suggested splitting the group in 2 and beginning one group on hole 7 and the other on hole 1 (which we did). This made our waiting time much lower than it would have been if we had all played as one big group.

Still as great as when I was younger! Great selection of 3 courses each with 18 holes. Arcade games are a little to be desired but they aren't why I choose to visit. All around a great spot for families to spend some time together.

Nice golf course. Easy to play, no big difficult obstacles in the way just small ones. They have a water cooler with paper cups to have drinks when it's hot. Also a nice little game room inside.

A fun trip back in time. This location hasn't changed much since I was a kid, and I'm okay with that. Its always clean and fun. The staff is always fun and enjoyable. I wish they'd replace the greens because they can be fast which makes it look like I don't know how to put. Then again I have the same problem at every golf course so maybe its me....or maybe its the greens.

Fair rates, and sweet staff willing to help you out with you any sort of issue. It does get packed at times, and they only have two small bathrooms.

Recently had a date night and did Putt-Putt followed by a few of the arcade games (the ones that worked). The Putt-Putt course leaves a lot to the imagination as Bush's haven't been well maintained and there is very little to engage with other than just hitting the ball in the hole. Inside most of the games didn't work. The DDR machine that I played in high school was still there and not in English so hopefully you are multilingual if you want to pick out something specific on it. With earning about 75 tick

We never played the mini golf before at puff-puff Center Michigan

Arcade is small but solid. A great place to let the kids have some fun. Couldn't golf when we went due to rain but I'll be returning to check it out when it's nice a sunny. A new local favorite.

Great family fun. Putput is a bit dated, but it was still a great time. Holes look easy, but some will fool you. Inside they have arcade games. Great place to take your family. No cell phones required.

Nice little place that is fun for all ages. It could use some updating on the courses and also the inside could use some newer games. The staff was very polite and helpful. The facility was well maintained and clean. Very reasonably priced and will visit again. Overall a good little outing with my son and we both had a good time.

Stopped in on a whim on the way to get groceries. When we were paying for our game I made a comment that I'd lost our tickets from the last time we played for our next game and the man at the mini-golf counter, possibly the owner or a manager, allowed us to play for free without the ticket. Did not expect this at all, fully willing to pay the $13 for 2 people. Great customer service, would recommend and will be returning!

Love this place! Lots of fun in a family friendly atmosphere at affordable prices. 3 separate 18 hole putt-putt golf courses, with an indoor video arcade. They do a FANTASTIC birthday party. I have had several for my daughter here and couldn't have been happier. WAY cheaper than chuck e cheese, with much friendlier staff.

The courses do not have the fan fare of other putt-putt facilities but the prices are reasonable and it is well maintained. There are several arcade games with relatively low prices. The staff members are incredibly friendly. Especially the owner who will answer any questions you may have, and even talk history of the facility with you.

It's a summer time must do! My daughter Pd for us to play on mother's day!. We we're outside to enjoy the nice weather, we we're together most importantly& we competed for the most hole in one's, mom won. LoL it's a fun place to go play around, enjoy being outside & who doesn't love a lil competition.

I honestly loved this place. We showed up super late on Mother?s Day , our babysitter couldn't watch our kids till they went to bed, and we still got to play all three games while being treated amazingly! The worker was kind and sweet and someone I wish could be appreciated as much as he deserves because really this is the best customer service I have EVER received! I will definitely be coming back and sharing my amazing experience with others!

Great place to take the family for a round of mini-golf. We arrived early in the morning and were able to play 18 holes before anyone else arrived. We played another round with a few other golfers but never felt rushed or in the way. We finished our time there with some games in the arcade. Every interaction with the gentleman working was pleasant. He was polite to my husband and I, and to our children. If we are ever in the area again I wouldn't hesitate to stop in for a round of mini-golf.

This was a great place. They had three courses to choose from, and the pricing was very reasonable. The staff there was very nice

The son of the owners helped us out while here and he was quite a awesome guy. He even helped our kids get a couple of ticket toys they wanted when they clearly didn't have enough to get them. We'll be back again, thanks for making the afternoon great!

This is still a super fun place to play. The courses are well maintained, and the price is really competitive compared to some places. A single round $7 and good discounts or packages available for better discounts.

Great place to go whether you are with a friend, family or a group! 3 courses to choose from and at a decent price. There is an arcade inside but some of the of games don't work or are out dated but it doesn't matter to my 5 year old so I don't mind. The couple who runs it and their staff are the reason we keep coming back - they have the best customer service!

Hadn't played here since I was probably in high school over forty years ago. It's always fun and love reminiscing, too.

Super nice staff, several courses, great place to take the family or hang out with friends! The prices are nice too

I love this place. It's cute for a date night or a family night. There are 3 different courses and they're pretty fun. I go a few times every summer and never have a problem.

This place has been around for decades and even though the holes don't change often, my family and I always enjoy ourselves. My mother in law loves courses 1 and 3 but find course 2 very challenging. They also have mother and father's day specials that make those days extra special! I also love that when you get your first hole in one, you win a scratch card that give you a chance to win free tokens or golfing. I recommend this place if you want something family friendly and fun to do during the summer!

My boyfriend and I visited this place before we drove back home, the golf courses are cute and not too hard. We played three rounds for $10 each and if you get a hole in one when your color shows you get an orange ball and a scratch off. We got hot after our second game and cooled down inside for a bit. We got lucky cuz Sunday you get an extra 10 tokens for the games inside and so we played and got a prize, I got some fuzzy dice! Overall this was a cute date and is great for families also! The staff was fri

Had a nice game with my son

Place is precision course. Lots of hole in one possibilities. Guy that ran the place was super cool. Place is clean. Arcade has decent stuff for kiddos. Thank you!

Giving 3 stars bc this place is very clean!! Will give them that! However, the putt putt courses were extremely boring compared to many others we have been to. Flat courses all in the same area on flat ground with no difference or adventure. The staff is very uptight and unpleasant. And the amount of rules... Talk about fun sponge! You cannot have a group larger than 4, cannot hit the ball more than 4 times, (and they will periodically announce this as a reminder and watch you) They play old funeral music f

I have been here a few times but I find it all relaxing fun and I highly recommend it to everyone.I just hope and pray that the cement Arch doesn't collapse on anyone.the one with the giraffe on it.maybe expand snack bar

It's okay. Good for the price. Slightly run down, but greens are in good shape. Kind staff. Not a bad time at all. Will probably come back. ????

We (3) spent a few hours here, played 36 holes of putt putt for $30 total, and won coupons for getting a hole in one, which were good for Free arcade tokens indoors, which was nicely air conditioned! Good time and good money spent for family fun!

If you ever get the chance to visit this place please go. It's a cute little veteran owned place and the fellas that own the place are really welcoming. We had a great time.

This place is like keeping an old beater as a backup car. Not pretty, stuff is falling apart, no improvements over many years, but darn it, it's there if you need it.

My wife made fun of me for wanting to go there but after forcing her to go she kicked all of our butts in miniature golf. The day we went it was just really hot. The cool thing about that place is but it hasn't really changed since I was a kid.

There are 3 courses and an arcade we enjoy.

Had a great time with me and my boys, three different courses, each with different difficulty levels and all have 18 holes. Will go again for sure

Awesome place to play some miniature golf and a few games! I love the dance dance revolution (DDR)!

No-frills course(s) - they have three -- 18 holes each.

they have 3 different 18 hole courses on site

We have come to this location for years and have made a lot of good memories. They keep it clean and the staff is pretty cool and laid back. Def recommend for local entertainment

Helpful gentleman at the counter. Fun, clean & well kept courses. Went on a ND game day so no crowd at all!

Fun times with the Kiddos and grandparents. The courses could use some TLC and updating, along with landscape care as some bushes on the courses make it difficult to play or even walk around.

Great staff and we always have a great time together here. Highly recommend.

Price was fair, but played all 3 courses & was not that much fun. Needed to more challenging or have different obstacles.

Love this place , had an awesome time with a couple of friends , we played the skee ball game and a round of mini golf , definitely will come again

A No-Frills putt putt golf Center. Nice people, prices aren't bad, but you aren't going to experience any fancy putting challenges. When we went, there was a nice little extra game they had where if you got a hole in one when using a particular ball color, you got an opportunity at some extra goodies.

Lots of fun! I've played each course and every hole is different. The staff is friendly and super relatable. Maybe a little maintenance on some of the holes but besides that it's great!

Very simple courses, nothing even remotely challenging. It's all laid out on a pathway with no landscaping. Rated in comparison to much better experiences that I've had at smaller places.

I enjoyed playing there. The courses have different difficulty levels, which is good and the attendant was fun as well.

This was fun. We played all 3 courses and they were flexible if we wanted to finish playing a different day. Over all great experience.

We haven't played Putt Putt in years so we decided to play all 3 courses. Weather was great as was the price. Fun way to spend a warm sunny afternoon!

This place is fun... it has 3 different courses so you're never waiting that long for your turn.. I love taking the kids here... doesn't break the wallet either..

really fun mini golf place. They have 3 outdoor courses. The one we did was very simple. If you get a hole in one you can win a prize. It was amusing for our date night.

A lot of fun with our grandkids. Nice, attentive staff.

Look if you have friends or are visiting family in the area come here. You can take a few dumb photos relax and show your friends that you would be really good at mini golf if you weren't robbed every other hole. And their arcade has a time crisis machine so why not have some fun?

Might want to fix that structure before it's too late, but it's a good place.

3 stars since the course is a bit dated but was still a lot of fun. The help was very friendly as well, I would recommend.

If you haven't been here, give this place a try. It's fun. It has 3 sets of courses that aren't super hard. I like the layout, though it is kinda tight. It's worth an afternoon.

There are nicer, newer mini golf places in the area. Putt-Putt is the true course to show off your skills however. This location is really starting to show it's age. Most rails should be replaced, along with some of the concrete. Some bushes getting too big. Some decorations like the elephant are crumbling/deteriorating. We used to go 6-10 times a year. Maybe 2-3 now. Would come back more often if they invested in bringing the place back up to the condition it should be.

We had a minor emergency that didn't allow us to finish the game but were given rain check for future use. Very happy with their service!

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.”
