Golfer's Crossing Mini Golf and Ice Cream — Restaurant in Rockport

This was our first time here, but definitely won't be our last! This is a first class course. It's definitely one of the better courses we have been to. It is highly recommended and I can hardly wait to play it again. We do not live near, but it is worth the more than an hour drive. A mid-week, 5 o'clock hour visit was not a busy time with only a couple of groups out there with us at any time. Maybe it I s busier at other, more peak times. This made for a very nice leisurely game with excellent satellite radio station playing for these 80's kids. Staff was attentive and helpful. It has nice grounds, the greens are not worn or broken. Of the whole course there is one small blemish where one of the posts used with rope to make a border fence for the water feature has been upset shifting its concrete foundation out from the ground making the post lean. To be very picky some of the greens nearer to the trees could use attention to clean off some natural debris (mostly pine needles) on a few of the greens. For the most part I don't believe it was bad enough to hamper any play, but it is how we found it. Other courses deal with this issue constantly, usually using a leaf blower to clear the green. It would be a simple maintenance remedy to put into practice. It is not super old (2005) according to their very helpful and informative web page, which even offers helpful pro tips on each hole. The the "clubhouse" where you pay and get your club, ball and scorecard, is unlike nearly every other mini golf course in the state. Here you don't merely walk up to a service window of some small shack like structure, no you actually go into a building that has AC. There are separate doors for accessing and leaving the course. When returning your club and ball, you report your hole-in-one success to the attendant to check if you have win a free game. On this course it isn't just one great shot on the last hole that allows you to earn a game, but two separate chances with a hole-in-one on hole 16 (the longest putt), and a hole-in-one on a mystery hole revealed to you at the end. I like that the 18th hole is just like the rest and doesn't "swallow" or otherwise retire your ball for you, ending your game. The course was professionally designed and built, with very nice paved paths and various vegetation between an assortment of hole layouts for a variety of play challenges. One of the best things about the course is that it is built to mimic more of an actual golf course. The appropriate use of natural hazards (rocks, water and rough), and no artificial man-made typical mini-golf structures (i.e. windmills and loopty-loops) give it a quality realistic feel instead of the gimmicky trick shots that can be frustrating. In fact the closest unnatural element is a drain pipe on the tenth hole, and from our play of that hole it is best just to avoid the pipe altogether, which is easily done while achieving a perfect putt (yes my wife got a hole in one here, as well as the first hole). Of course there are plenty of water features, but none overbearing or annoying to the play, and only one that will most likely catch a less than great putt, only to return it to the green downstream. Although we did lose a ball off the green and in the stream on another hole from an over aggressive putt, but it was easily retrieved and returned to the "rough" where it exited. We have played many different courses all over the state, and some don't offer a par for the holes, or even the entire course. I am glad that this one stays truer to the golf paradigm. A couple of player's spectacular scorecards are displayed on the wall in the clubhouse for bragging rights, and maybe an additional goal incentive for your round. One showing the best course score of two strokes on each hole, and the other with most hole in one's (5) for the course. It has an unassuming presence from the road, but not impossible to locate, there is signage though it's not...

Great place for miniature putt-putt golf. A little pricey... $15.00 for 1 senior adult and 1-(5yr-old)Grandson to play 18 holes on a Wednesday afternoon. Its on Westside of U.S. Route 1 in Rockport, Maine just north of Route 90 about 1-1/2 miles. This place is visitable from road, but mostly hidden behind another building. Place was clean, owner was very friendly. Not...
