The staff was very friendly. There are high top tables, shorter tables, comfy chairs and t.v.s to watch any sports games that are on. We enjoyed the atmosphere here and will stop here the next time that we are in town too.

The course conditions on the front weren't bad, but the experience completely falls apart when you realize you're paying full premium price for a course that isn't even playable as intended. For nearly a hundred bucks, golfers expect a finished course, not detours, torn-up fairways, and the feeling you're being overcharged. Right now it feels like they're cashing in while giving a half finished product. If you're thinking about playing in Okoboji, I'd suggest waiting until the back 9 is complete or checking out other local courses where your money goes further.

If you're looking for something outside the norm, check out the Scottish Links, the newest course at Brooks. The terrain is gorgeous and pretty different looking, with rolling hills and bent grass fairways. Personally, I like to hit a bucket of balls at the driving range rather than commit to 18 holes. :) I'm also fond of the red Brooks golf carts and a G&T at Bud's Pub after. FYI, Brooks is the only 4 1/2 Star Golf Digest rated course in the Lakes area. Brooks was also named one of the top 5 courses to play in Iowa by Golf Week Magazine. Play with the locals- golf Brooks!

Fast forward a few *cough* decades later and I got the chance to take my kiddos to the newly renovated park. We opted for a day pass for $40 each. I thought we got a lot of bang per buck and loved that we could leave the park for lunch in the air conditioning. The area by the lake (Lake View) is thoughtfully done, parking is a non-issue, staff was pleasant, wait lines were scarce -- and if rides aren't your thing there's a raceway and arcade. All in all a win! Don't go to Okoboji and not stop at Arnold's Park.

So we quickly looked to see if there was another option and this little gem popped up. 27 holes of mini golf all themed around Disney or fairy tales we all know and love. Not super hard BUT several holes had a special wheel to spin to add an extra to that hole. For example I got to move an opponent's ball to wherever I wanted to in bounds. My kids loved this and we would go back again and the people running it were very nice and attentive! Skip the commercialized mini golf place and head here!
