ParTee Shack - South Raleigh — Attraction in Garner

Such a great spot for family fun! First off, businesses like this have been disappearing so it’s very exciting to see this place open up. We need to support local businesses that provide wholesome family fun. Please visit them!! Also, if you go, don’t ruin it. Right now, it’s new so everything is clean and well maintained but often people just abuse these fun spots. Please respect the folks that risk it all to give you a good time. I picked up some empty beer cans along the way and that was disheartening. Pick up after yourselves and respect the courses, please. Now, on to the golf! The courses here are so great! Super creative and not your typical bank-it-off-this-wall mini golf. They have designs that include dropping your ball from a zip line, teeing off with a bat in a batting cage, using your club as a pool cue on a pool table, just to name a few. And with three 18-hole courses, there is plenty to experience. I can’t tell you how many different ways there are here to strike your golf ball. They have spinners at many of the tees that mix how how you play the hole. I nearly got a hole-in-one granny style! The snack bar has some nice offerings. Don’t sleep on the meatballs! Those were tasty and they have several neat flavors. There’s plenty to drink here and you can take it with you while playing. They even have handy drink carriers! Prices are good, too. They weren’t a bargain but I also don’t feel like I was robbed. The owner was awesome by being very helpful and excited about us being there. The staff was attentive too and got our food out quick. The golf prices are very reasonable, especially given the creativity in the courses. Masks are optional and there was a good mix of folks with or without. I didn’t feel any judgment as we have both mask wearers and non-wearers in our family. There are hand sanitizer stations and the clubs were visibly cleaned before being returned to the racks. We had such a great time playing. We played on two courses and experienced so many cool challenges and memorable moments. Please visit and support...

Recommend for families with kids.

Unique experience we are glad we did! And it was fun, but unless they change the courses (which doesn’t seem feasible), we (2 adults) won’t go back again.

They have small selection of food/snacks and beverages including beer which is cool.

However, I guess they don’t require parents to play the courses with kids under 13… and there are some holes that may take a few minutes causing a pile up of groups waiting. We were totally fine with this, and even made friends while waiting.

BUT every course we ended up in front of a different group of younger kids WITH NO PARENTS ON THE COURSE with THEM. So we would be still putting at the hole and the kids wouldn’t wait for us before starting. OR several groups would be waiting on the front group and kids would be shooting balls at us and getting mad when people standing and waiting were blocking a course.

The worst was the dodgeball-like hole - which has netting around it. We had a several group pike up on the holes after that, and us and another group of adults in front of us had to wait by the wall in the netted area where you throw the balls. The group of kids behind us started throwing the balls at the wall as hard as they could hitting several of us several times and then GAVE US attitude we were running their game.

At the end of that course, we figured out mom was on her phone looking out the front door window as her 2 young kids were being rude and ruining experiences for everyone on the course.

Would like to see the company ensure that even if parents don’t play, they are in line of site, or better yet walk through the course with their kids under 13. But the employees just stayed talking at the counter often with their back to the courses, only occasionally glancing in the direction...

Would have been a 5 star had it not been for customer service. Our large family rented the party, paid for pizza, dozens of drinks, shots, both simulators, played games, and multiple rounds of golf. The girl at the drink side counter made a big complicated deal over a dollar soda when I asked for ONE from the dozens we PRE-purchased, she scolded me because the party host “said she wanted them later” I asked if I could trade a diet for a regular coke then instead she said “she REQUESTED a variety”, then I offered to just pay for the soda, she said no I’ll look it up, and kept insisting I add it TO the ticket extra, (which was not my ticket to pay, so I didn’t want to add anything to my brothers party tab) and I finally told her just never mind! Which is ridiculous considering we spent hundreds of dollars and she wanted to argue over a dollar coke. It made no sense and was overly complicated for just trying to get one soda we had already paid for. Then I asked for change to use the machines and she was like, SIGH I’ll give you 5 1’s but THATS it. Ok? Get a dollar exchange machine or get more change. Surely people ask to exchange dollars all day long, or convert to tokens so people can pay w credit card. It was very warm inside and the simulators were very finicky. We did the easy course bc we had tons of kids with us, but also bc they wanted to show us the zip line, but it was out of order which was disappointing, BUT- despite all that we had an absolute blast!! If the young lady at the counter was more pleasant it would have...
