I took my family to Sir Goonies on Kingston Pike in Knoxville for the first time today. This place is a major rip off for families and very unsafe.Structures had wood missing, Standing water with slime, scrum on the top a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Which were eating us alive. The course had huge fire ants all over the holes. You would reach down to get your ball and get ants on your hands. The putters had missing rubber and exposed metal which was sharp enough to cut your palms. The holes were missing the greenery and top it off at the last hole the elephant statue came unscrewed and fell on my son. I went to the Manager and ask for a refund telling her this is a kids attraction and it is so unsafe for adults nonetheless kids and I wanted a refund. She ask why it was unsafe I ask where she wanted me to start I had a list, we immediately jumped to the statue falling on my son. Her reply was that was screwed down AGAIN on July 4th it shouldn't have fell, well today is August 1st. She said she would send someone over to fix it. I saw the young man go stand the statue up. I never saw him screw it down. She did end up giving me a refund. I just don't want other families to encounter the dangers. You take your kids to have a good time not put...
Read moreCame here at 9 PM and was interested in playing both mini golf courses, we knew they closed at 10 and said that we would come back in if we didn’t finish playing both the courses by closing time. While the worker was ringing us up for both of them another worker who I’m assuming was the owner came over and was so rude, told us we could not play both courses and they close in an hour. He told the employee who was ringing us up to pay closer attention to these things, feel sorry for him having to work with someone so condescending. We literally said we would stop at whatever hole we were on when it was time for them to start closing up. There was a girl on the phone in the office telling someone it takes 45 minutes to play one course. We finished the challenge course in less than 30 minutes, and would have had plenty of time to play the second, easier course with time to spare. The golf clubs were so sticky and disgusting that we barely wanted to touch them. Some of them were so worn down you couldn’t even use them. Not surprising that there was only two other people there playing mini golf. Won’t ever be...
Read moreFood and drinks, several ice cream flavors and shakes, snacks and goodies! The staff is awesome. We feel welcome and appreciated. I have been playing putt putt here for 30+ years. The go-kart are fast, there are 2 courses for mini golf to choose from, the have a soccer instructor from Romania that is very helpful if you want to up your game, and I believe every other Saturday night, they have RC races for those who enjoy to tinker with those types of cars and trucks. The courses for golf have a few imperfections, but most of it is results of people misusing the equipment and having no respect for anything. The only negative is not even something that the owners can avoid, and that is the MOSQUITOES!!!!! I recommend bringing bug spray or some sort of personal repelling device. However..... if you forget, the owners usually have a few bottles of spray next to the club holder. So 5 stars is not really enough to give this place. The attractions are fun, the atmosphere is warm and friendly, and the people are...
