I haven't been here since 2017 and wow, has it changed. From hole 10 onwards, our party and everyone in line were being attacked by mosquitos, most likely coming from the stagnant water. Unattended teenagers were using the clubs to splash water at each other, hitting other players. I could forgive their yelling profanities, but when they started hitting their balls before our turn was up, we called it quits. My 8 year old said the water smelled like our dog's anal glands. It was truly a disgusting family night. We're itching all over from the mosquito bites!

Oh man I fell in love with this mini golf course! It's so quant and feels like you're at a resort ! Such beautiful scenery and such nice staff members. The price is $9 a person per game. This is cash only so just a heads up! If you're an mini golf pro you won't find the course challenging... lucky I'm not so it was perfect for me lol! There is 18 holes and the game goes by quickly we took about an hour. I didn't try the grille or bar below but what a nice way to end a game ! I really enjoyed myself and took great pictures

I saw the Manager of the park hassling a group of mentally challenged folks from a local program because he thought they would be going too slowly and hurt his business with other customers. Dont give them your business!

I remember when Hidden Valley opened in the early 90's (?). Prior to it, the only miniature golf places around were old school putt-putt places, with flat greens and whimsical obstacles. This was the *nice* minigolf place. I hadn't visited in years, but it's still the nice minigolf place.
It's a really nice, relaxing atmosphere. The greenery is all well-groomed. It really does live up to its name. There are no wacky obstacles to be found. The greens were in great condition. The obstacles are all hills, dips, rocks and logs. And who can forget the water wheel and child-sized wooden train? They even have the forethought for benches and even gazebos for people to sit and wait if a hole is still being used. Pretty top notch mini golf experience.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Oct 4, 2020
This review is for the waterfront grill. Nice outdoor restaurant with 4(?) different levels. Nice waterfall and landscape. My husband and I had the clam roll with fries which was very good. Our son had fried dough with sauce-so glad they had that on the menu since all the fairs were cancelled and he had been craving fried dough!
Service was quick and friendly. Tables were adequately space apart. Wished I had found this place earlier in the season. Will try to go back before it gets too cold and will definitely go back next year.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sarah W.Bridgeport, CT667Aug 15, 2022
Stopped in with the family hoping to grab a "snack" and a round of golf...to say we were pleasantly surprised would be an understatement! The blackened mahi-mahi burger with mango salsa and sweet potato fries was soooo good. The selection of beers, ciders, sours was perfect. And the atmosphere, sitting by the waterfall, in the shade, was so relaxing. Don't forget to stop down at the back bar for another drink after your round of mini golf. Perfect afternoon.

This place was beautiful, great ice cream and I couldn't believe how quaint they maked it feel. The holes could be more challenging but I had such a great time here!
