I grew up playing their par 3 course and loved it. It was never in the best condition but it was well worth the price to play through the 9 holes twice.I just went there three weeks ago and I am embarrassed for the grounds keeper and the owner. The tee boxes aren’t marked anymore and have been hacked to death, the fairways have dead spots all over, the roughs are basically just weeds, and the greens are so bad that I picked up the ball on 7 out of 9 of the holes because they are impossible to put on. And by impossible I mean you could end up 6 putting from 8 feet out with all the dead grass, random mounds, and debris that covers almost the entire green. And for my own curiosity I walked over to the mini putt course to see what it looks like and it’s just as bad, if not worse. Unless they lower the price to play 18 holes to $3 including a cart then I will never play there again.I will not be surprised at all if they go out of business. That place has turned into a joke.

Family outing on a beautiful day and had a great time! We used the miniature golf course for our group. It was challenging with all the animals (raccoon in a tree) and the debris on the course (added obstacles). I would definitely recommend this place for a fun place to enjoy the out of doors.

Golfing here is great!. I love the wildlife, the challenge (take extra balls) and there is little need to reserve a tee time. Beautiful way to spend some time outdoors laughing and having fun. Staff are friendly and accommodating.

Played a round of 18 here yesterday. I remember this course not being in the best shape when I was a kid BUT CLEARLY they haven’t taken care of it at all.THIS COURSE IS AN EMBARRASSMENT TO THE SPORT OF GOLF!No such thing as a tee box or fairway... and don’t get me started about the areas where the holes are located (I’m not going to give them the satisfaction of calling those greens)Do yourself a favor and socially distance yourself from this place - spend the extra $15 - $20 to go to Hodge Park, Shoal Creek or if you need a Par 3 course make the drive up to Kearney and play MariMack.Instead of asking for my money back, I decided to write this review instead... sorry I’m not sorry!

We took our grandkids to the mini golf part of the complex. It was in terrible shape. It was overgrown with weeds; consequently a lot of bugs and mosquitoes. The courses were also in bad shape - we did not even finish our course. It needs a lot of maintenance. We had golfed this course last year and was in much better shape, but needed maintenance then. I will not return to play there again as long as it is in this shape.

It was fun but they have not kept the place up. Things were broken and A LOT of mosquitos, the water fountain in the middle of red hole #17 was nonfunctional and a great breeding ground for mosquitos. The building were broken into and smashed up. The holes still worked and my son still had fun but we will probably not go back.

Horrible course, this place is so run down. It’s priced as expensive as most other courses but is no where near maintained. There is no fairway and the greens are awful! Just pitiful, I didn’t even want to finish playing it.

Needed to cancel membership after having it for around 8 years because of work. Told them I might renew when I had more time to go in the next year or two. Canceled around the 14th of March 2019. They called to inform me since I did not meet the deadline of March 28 I wouldnt be cancelled until February of 2020. Started out paying the $29.99 now my bill is almost $45.00 with no reason or notice given. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!! This is how they treat long time members!

DO NOT GO HERE! No idea how this place is still open, I’d give this place no stars if I could. My family and I were told we could come anytime before 9pm. We showed up at 8:12pm and the guy working at the front desk was so rude with us, immediately commenting on how we had only had 45 minutes, acting as if we were a burden being there. The mini golf course was AWFUL, they have NO lights so you cannot see anything! The mini golfing area needed so much maintenance! We will NOT be back, and will spread the word.

Nice course, had one hole that was really hard to do. It was funny watching the other try. The ball just kept coming back, no mater what we tried.

Played miniature golf only. The carpets are fine, but they need to maintain the obstacles better. The fences need fixed. Both the front split rail and the back perimeter fence. The courses themselves are fine.

Was in KC for business. My hotel luckily did not have a gym, they arent usually very good anyway. They offered passes to Maple Creek instead. What a great facility this is. I travel for work and go to gyms the world over. This is one of the best Ive been to. The equipment is clean and well maintained, the staff is friendly, a perfect place to workout and relieve some stress.

Weve had a family membership for 6 weeks; we joined primarily for the workout facilities, but look forward to the other perks as well. We were well informed of the contract policy when signing up, and yes, you have until Feb 28 to cancel your contract, which restarts in the April billing cycle. (Previous reviewers may not have read the contract correctly.)Friendly customer service; always willing to answer my questions with a smile. Equipment Ive seen & used is in great shape, and they have numerous machines and free weight options.The locker rooms could use some updated lockers - as many dont have functioning locks, but ask for key at counter and theres always a locking one available. And I might recommend installing tile or linoleum near showers instead of carpet.The cart path around the course could use some work, as I like to use it as a walking trail. Course itself looks good, and condition of the small course is in line with prices charged.So far, so good!

Well the young man that was on the front desk was very friendly and pleasant to talk with. The excitement of my 5 year old was worth it all really. The thing is they need to clean the miniature golf courses better. The first course was a little better than the second one. The second course we just kinda jumped around from this one to that one. Acorns, leaves, small sticks from the trees.

I strongly disagree with the above complaints. The dogs have always been put behind the desk and away from the public. You have until Feb. to cancel your membership for the following year. You still get charged for March and thats what you are told when you sign up for the membership. Ive never seen dirty towels on the floor and the employees are constantly cleaning so I dont see that issue. I have had excellent service with this establishment. The workers are always friendly and its the cheapest golf with the membership. The fitness classes are downstairs so you never are bothered by them. I strongly recommend this place.

Review №25

Golf course is not in good shape and is extremely small. Prices may seem cheap but when you actually compare them to other courses in KC they are not. They clearly do not put in much effort or care for their course or miniature golf. I would suggest to find somewhere else to play.

Mini golf is awesome, wish somebody would clean this course lots of debris and ran down some... A little $ and effort would go a long way repairing this course.

Two mini golf tracks to play with plenty of holes. A nice inexpensive date or a place to take the kiddos.

Review №29

I dont know anything about the full course or weight room, but I love the mini-golf. Lots of holes, never too crowded (unlike the parkville mini- golf), and you can casually drink beer as well. 36 distinct holes for 2 people: $25. Pretty fair price to me. A little bit of acorns on a few courses in then fall, but thats the only complaint. I actually like putting around the nuts and stuff. Adds a bit of randomness.

This is a great little course if you are looking to get a quick round in. The last time I was there the greens needed a little work (had just rained pretty hard). The cart path needs some serious help but other than that I love it.

Rip Off! They tell you that you can cancel your membership at anytime after you have completed your contract. We have more than completed the contract. We went in to cancel and now all of the sudden you are required to do so on a specific date. They continue taking money from our account.The course is not well maintained and Doug Alexander, the manager, was quite rude to me.

Quite disappointed by our visit today , we were a party of two and we did both mini golf courses . Even though we didnt arrive til several hours after they opened both course were heavily littered by debris and occasional empty alcohol containers . My ball got stuck in an underground tunnel partway through the second course so I didnt finish obviously and when we told the gentleman at the front counter he nonchalantly replied , No problem we will get it later . No apology or concern for the inconvenience or what happened . I guess its time to find a new mini golf course. Definitely not a fun experience for us .

Very poor service! If I could give zero stars I would. My girlfriend and I just recently moved to the area and were looking for an additional gym membership closer to our new home. The first young man we spoke to was very polite in showing us the facility and answering all of our questions. We were ready to sign up after learning our membership together would only be $35 a month with only a one time sign up fee of $25. Since, all other gyms require this fee yearly and higher monthly cost, we were totally sold and ready to sign up. However, as soon as we got to signing the paperwork, another man from behind the counter chimed in to ask us if we were married. We answered him honestly, no, but why does that matter? He then went on to say we had to have separate memberships and that they would be for $30 a piece because we arent married. I asked him if I had answered yes? His response was that he wouldnt have known the difference and we could have had the family membership for $35. We joked and said we would go get married and come back but they still wouldnt budge. He then proceeded to argue with my girlfriend when she got upset that she had spent 20 minutes talking to another guy who sold us on another price.This is obviously a church owned facility who discriminates against people who do not fit their perfect form to be a member there. Let me also shine light on the fact that there wasnt a single soul in the fitness center. It was a complete ghost town. My girlfriend and I are personal trainers and we could have gotten a lot more members for them but they are too stuck in their ancient ways of thinking. It shows in their business too. No one in the gym, No one golfing. Sad to see a great facility ran into the ground by negative judgmental people.

Been a member for years. Great place for a great price. Family membership is 30.00 for golf and fitness. I dont do workout classes but, pretty sure they are included with your membership. Dont let the sour grapes keep you from this great deal!!!!

Hidden gem of a gym. Super affordable and never crowded. Not a 5-star gym, but the combo of price, very few members, and a fair selection of equipment makes the overall package hard to beat.

Review №45

This company cheated me out of money. I did everything I was told to do submitted a letter in writing along with an over the phone conversation to cancel my membership. I even confirmed that it was canceled in the last month of my membership and February would be my last month of payments. They charged me for March anyway and when I called to ask for a credit because this was clearly a mistake they pretty much told me tough and they would not give me a refund for the money they took out of my account without my permission. I would suggest if you sign a membership with them pay in full because the way they talked to me I get the impression that this is a pretty common thing they do. Be warned!!

THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!!! Doug the manager needs a lesson in service. Humble servant he is not.Be careful signing up for a membership here. If you happen to move out of the area and I mean a 45 minute drive away they will not let you out of your contract. I have a friend that moved to Blue Springs and asked to be let out of the contract in April 2014. They told her too bad so sad you have to pay the rest of the contract and to call back before April 2015 to cancel. She was assured that they would put notes on her account about that conversation and they did not. Doing the right thing she did continue to pay for a full year without using it due to the distance. She called in March of this year to cancel and Doug told her she would have had to call before 2/28/15 to cancel and she would now have to continue to pay until 2/28/16. My friend explained again the distance and he said she could go to the Olathe location. My friend works really long days and is a single mom and lives and works in Blue Springs. She does not have time to drive that distance to work out at a gym.This company and its employees clearly only care about the money they collect and not the customer. Perhaps if they changed their toon and adopted a customer service excellence approach and looked at cases on an individual basis and showed they care about their customers they would have better reviews.So now they will learn the hard way. My friend comes in contract with many people in a day and will tell this story. Those people will tell others and even go out and post a reviews. For me, I will NEVER give this place any of my hard earned money and I hope all of those reading this will do the same. I will be telling this story to many people as well. I come into contact with SO MANY people with my work from all over the KC area.

Review №48

A place with dogs indoor wetting on the carpet almost like a kennel until 6pm, and where broken equipment is left out and where the greens are poorly maintained. Also for fact customers are treated poorly as some pay $100 for an initiation fee and others pay none. Also the temperature inside is always freezing in the winter and burning hot in the summer plus they will not let you cancel your membership. Also members leave towels on the floor and never put weights up when done using them. Find something better whether your a golfer or a gym user It doesnt get worse.
