The concept and scenery is good with some unique holes. Overall the course is very easy so kids will enjoy the golf. Not very challenging for adults if you a competitive mini golfer.

The tram is certainly unique but it runs very slow and this is certainly a bottleneck for the flow of customers. It is nestled in the woods so you also don't see much other than the route of the tram

When we got there, we were luckly. Crowds had died down. We did not have to wait in line to pay. Yet still waited over 30 minutes just to get on the tram. Others waited well over an hour.

Once up the hill, no wait on golfing because only 9 people can go up and down the tram at a time. (About a 12 to 15 minute round trip for the tram for 9 people).

However when we finished, we waited about 45 minutes again for the tram to go down the hill about 100'. It was a bit painful to see my car and not be able to get to it.

Overall: If you have kids (and we have 5) this will be a very expensive attraction.

If it is busy, you will wait a long time in lines.

If there was any way for HB golf to allow customers to walk down the path when you are done, this would eliminate the frustration of waiting on the back end.

Also, employees can move people on and off more efficiently and make sure to give them the legal jargon before they get on so the tram can just keep moving. It stops for too long in between rides and this would not cause a safety issue.

Busy day with kids, I would not go here. Not too busy, waiting once is worth...
