Castlegate Restaurant & Mini Golf — Restaurant in Lopatcong Township

This review is strictly on the soft serve ice cream. Last summer I would come here and the ice cream always looked and felt gritty and tasted like sanitizer had not been properly rinsed out of the soft serve machines. After giving it a break for a year we finally decided to give it another try and things seemed to improve a lot flavor and texture wise. It’s really good now and we try to go when the younger crowd is working cause they seem to give a bigger portion of ice cream. We were going to Rita’s over the summer during our break from this place and almost went back to Rita’s after our first time back because the large ice cream we got in the big waffle cones was kinda small for the price. We gave it one more try and thats when the high school kids were working and actually filled the whole cone up. After that point we had better luck. Side note…. I will say that the mini golf course looks rough and pretty blah. I’m sure it’s hard to maintain with customers that are probably rough on all the equipment and courses but I’m curious if it is even worth it for them to have it. I don’t see people on...

so it all started when after a stressful day at dance. me and my fellow dance peers (maddy kate grace sarah) went to castlegate. the cash was provided by my good friend dee I gotta pee. let me tell u it was love at first site. I got chocolate soft served in a cone. MY GOD. it was so gooooodddd omg. ever since that moment I've wanted castlegate everyday. I couldnt get it out of my head and till this day I still can't. every song I hear I make the lyrics bout castlegate.❤️my friends say I have a problem but I beg to differ. it's just love. we were meant to be. I'm living a happy life knowing that castlegate is in it to travel on my journey with...

I almost gave it two stars because the golf course is SO bad that it actually makes it almost comical and adds a star lol.

I mean come on though guys, either just close this place up or charge a price thats in line with how rundown the setup is. This is without a doubt the crappiest course anywhere around. Weeds literally everywhere, the greens (see pics) are absolutely shredded / chewed up and the golf clubs are all bent! One perk - we (on a weekend) were the only ones there... not so surprising but we were thankfully able to breeze through this dump and get the heck out of there.

$8 per person... SERIOUSLY?!?! This place is one step away from closing down or being marked unfit for safety reasons and you’ll probably need a tetanus shot after handling the golf clubs.

If you couldn’t tell, you couldn’t pay us to return here. The owner need to either take some of that COVID relief money and renovate this place or just shut it...
