The Nest at Eagle Crest — Local services in Town of Clifton Park

Needs new ownership! Very poorly run business.

The owners of this place should be ashamed. They have put absolutely no money back into their business over the years and have let it fall into shambles.

So much deferred maintenance…not even sure where to begin.

They don’t even do basic weed removal let alone maintain the landscaping. The main attraction was the water features and they have just emptied them as opposed to fixing the problems.

The photos on their Google listing look nothing like the actual course. Blatant false advertising at this point.

They have a bunch of high school and college kids working with no supervision or an actual boss to teach them how to properly run a business.

There is no need for 3-5 employees to sit around inside. Saw five different people within an hour of being there, but that could have been due to shift change.

Have one of them go out and sweep the “greens” each day to remove debris. I used quotation marks because they it’s that paper thin green carpet turf from the 80s and hasn’t been replaced since it was probably built.

I get why they don’t, it’s a pointless effort at this point. Would just be lipstick on a pig, but at least your ball wouldn’t go off the course all the time from hitting debris and weeds.

There are a variety of spots where the ground isn’t solid under the greens.

They’ve covered up two part holes (where one cup is a pipe that leads to another portion of the green) as opposed to fixing it properly.

No chance to win a free round with a hole in one on the 18th hole or a “plinko” like ball drop game.

Staff at counter was nice, but I saw five different people there and we were there for maybe an hour. Have no clue what they actually

Soft serve ice cream machine needs to be repaired. Ice cream was already dripping before they handed the cones to over. Hard ice cream was at least cold.

QUESTION FOR THE OWNERS

What are you doing with the money?

You charge $10/person and somehow have gotten businesses to sponsor most of the holes. Kudos for pulling that off because that was the most impressive thing about this place…that you actually got other businesses to affiliate themselves with yours…and pay for it.

Do you not see an issue with the fact that your competitors charge less money per round while having substantially better facilities?

They provide a better experience for less. They’re beating you at your own game. Does that not...

This is an attractive 18-hole mini-golf course, foot golf course, and ice cream parlor. I bought a Groupon for the four of us, you should always check to see if there's any available before you go because it's a pricey proposition for more than a few players. I liked the course, there could be more shade though. Also, as of July 2019 all the water features are shut off and under construction. I really wish they had done this off season, it really detracts from the experience. The ice cream choices are excellent, and there is a large shaded patio to breast and eat while you watch other golfers. The restrooms are clean and convenient. There is tons of parking. Overall, this was a good experience, although I would have been more frustrated if I had...

If my family and I had loads of fun on a rainy day, then you will have a much better experience on a sunny day. It was cloudy out while my family and I went mini-golfing in the evening, but because it was pouring throughout the afternoon, there was no one else but us and I felt great for having a private experience! Because it was on a Tuesday, it was $9 per adult and it comes with a free small ice cream per person~ There are 20+ flavors to choose from, and it's totally fine to try a sample of a desired flavor if you're curious! After telling one of the staff members that my family and I came all the way from Southwestern CT (3 hours away), we were given special, free-play tickets to use the next time we go...
