My friend and I have been miniature golfing in the Capital District for years and only heard about…read morethis place recently from my wife. With a name like "Wind Chill Factory"... who would connect that to golf? Perhaps it is a reference to the nearby airport? Anyway, my friend and I arrived one Saturday afternoon to find an antique car show going on at the place. It was packed with cars though we found nearby parking. A local band was playing and they were, umm, entertaining. The golf was reasonably priced ($12) and we were soon on our way. Oddly, the golf putters seemed odd in proportion and the shaft joined the head at a strange angle which made me feel like I was hitting the ball wrong. Also, the holes were immaculate (yay!) but some were brutally tough. One hole in particular was essentially a straight shot up a hill to rest at a small level patch of green around the hole. My friend and I EACH took 9 shots to get it to the top. He spent 9 getting it just to the top, only to have it roll down to the starting tee. I spent 9 shots generally hitting the rocks along the sides, only to have to roll down to the starting tee. That's 18 actual shots, not including penalty strokes when the ball rolled back off the tee. It was super frustrating. Other holes also relied on hills/swells to add to the challenge but weren't as tough. I would rather get stumped trying to hit the ball through a small tunnel in a windmill or snake it along a waterway, not get punished for constantly misjudging a hill with little room for error. Beyond that, we had fun. My friend said is was the best local course he played. I had a good time too, but I wouldn't go that far. Most of the holes felt a bit uninspired. But at least there was no nonsense with balls not dropping into the cups at this course. The ice cream flavors available were good, and the chocolate peanut butter cup was an excellent way to end the afternoon. PS: My wife and 4Y old son came along and it was the first time he played mini golf. He seemed to have a good time too.

We came here for ice cream. For the ice cream alone, this would be 3 stars. But with the food (we…read moredidn't order any, but it looked really good), the outdoor area, and the mini-golf course, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The ice cream was okay. It's limited to about a dozen flavors between hard and soft. The hard ice cream flavors (we got hard ice cream this time) were more traditional, the soft ice cream flavors were more creative and interesting. Prices were about the same for similar sizes, though, but $4 and change for a small dish seemed slightly above average compared to the same amount elsewhere. Then again, there's nothing else that close to this place with whom to be competitive. Spoons aren't available here unless you order ice cream. The spoons are plastic, looking more like they're designed for iced tea or milkshakes, with long, slender, flimsy handles, and only teaspoon-sized for scooping. That's fine for a shake or soft ice cream, but they were a bit too flimsy for digging into hard ice cream. The flavors could have been a little stronger too, though the stuff in the special flavors (e.g., the Moose Tracks), made up for it. This is a fine place to go if you're looking for a meal with ice cream, or mini-golf plus food or drink. Then again, there's nothing else like it for many miles in any direction.

The course is creative and none of the holes are banked the same. It's great for younger children also, because it is not too complex. Not sure if the lights automatically turn off at 8:55 pm, but it would be useful to have them on until your golfers complete the course. We had to use our flashlights for hole 17 and 18. Loved the decor and enjoyed the Saratogian history. If you're visiting, this is a great way to have a crash course in local history. There is an overlook to the waterfall near hole 8/9 so if you need a break before the back 9, you've got it! Some of the pole stands could use some assistance with cleaning (have some kind of moss on some of them, specifically hole 7 stand).

My review includes two stars for fun -- my grandson and I enjoyed ourselves but …read more.. Clearly the main purpose of this establishment is now the food section which looked well maintained on the surface. The best thing I can say about the mini golf is that we had brand new shiny balls and the surrounding grounds were well maintained. However, the artificial turf on the "fairways" was in pretty bad condition with multiple bare spots around the course as well as one split section that is raised on both edges and effectively blocks the ball. We also noticed that one of the water features has an unsightly horizontal water leak/spray. The design is also faulty where numerous holes have a slope away from the hole and even if you get very close, the ball is likely to roll far away. Finally, the rebound walls are often too low which allows easy jumps of the fairways. At one point my ball went off green's side where there was a bad slope and no retaining wall. I went to the window to see how they wanted me to handle it and nobody was around. The players ahead of us had left their clubs and balls and pencil on the counter. When we left several minutes later, we did the same. Why is there no attendant? It seems to me that two things have happened. The business got their permit from the town by proposing mini golf. Once that was in they snuck in the food permit and the food became the major profit center and the mini golf is now neglected as an inconsequential profit center but part of the town permitting process. Since this property is in or very near the airport's crash zone, mini golf was probably permitted as a low density activity whereas a restaurant would not have been. Therefore, the restaurant was added later once the business was established for another purpose. I'm only guessing but I'd wager I'm quite accurate.

Bland and not well play-tested long-putt-only style course on nicely-kept up grounds with good…read moremaintenance. It's the kind of course that, after having toured 13 other courses in the region this summer, we would like to give props to for the effort of having a nice course but which made us yawn for the most part. Pricing $7 for adults, $6 for kids, and "printed coupons only", as the sign in the window says, so you can forget the smartphone revolution, my fellow Yelpers. This is a medium-long putt course with a ton of purple geraniums, nice-looking granite boulders, decorative rocks, and watercourses and a waterfall in the middle. These parts are spiffy, and despite the piped-in-overloud music, add to the experience. Unfortunately the water isn't really used as play hazard much - there are three holes where it's possible to hit it into the water, but the rough keeps the ball out on one and sort of does on another, and on the third you'd have to be the worst golfer ever to hit it into the water right off the tee. The boulders and bricks tend to make the balls bounce hard, and the course plays fast in part due to worn turf and lots of uphill / downhill holes, so "skill" shots are very randomized. Smaller kids will not do well on this course because of the requirement to hit hard, and even we ran up against the per hole stroke limit a number of times (not to boast, but we've become very seasoned mini golfers from all this gadding about.) There are some tells as to how this was not designed for playability. There are "drain zones", spots where balls tend to end up no matter where they're hit, on many of the holes. On very few of the holes is there a meaningful choice to play the hole two or more different ways -- when this is done properly it makes a good course into a great one, and when it's done poorly, as here, it just makes the holes kind of mechanical. There were a few holes we liked OK - #17, a nice water hole in a sort of teardrop pattern with a kickout into a pond, #11, and #14, the hole in front of the waterfall. #2 features a bed of flowers as a sort of sand trap, which was nifty, but they're easily avoidable. It's tempting to downgrade this to two stars out of sheer boredom and lack of respect for the game, but for a casual game you can do worse. I'd call this more of a dating-course than one for kids or others who want a "serious" / fun game - it has ambiance and the randomization will probably mean your scores will end up close no matter who the better player is.

Plus, you can watch some planes take off and land on the nearby runway. There are only 3 flavors of soft ice cream: vanilla, chocolate, and raspberry (plus flavored swirls). The hard ice cream is, I believe, Perry's. I tend to go more to places that make their own ice cream, but Perry's is certainly better than no ice cream at all, and generally good. So my thought here was, "What do they do to make it stand out?" Well, they do 3 things. 1. They provide great customer service. 2. Their prices are quite reasonable. 3. The portions are H-U-G-E!
