    This place is like a cross between Brigadoon and a Jimmy Buffet concert. It's as close to the…read moremiddle of nowhere as you can get in the Catskills -- it may be a half hour to get to another commercial establishment, and the only reason it was on the way to where we were going was we first decided to go on a more scenic route, and *then* we got lost. And then, poof! There it is! Announced with a National Park-style sign, a themed home-made labor of love based on the legends of Rip van Winkle. It is impossible, simply impossible, to get a more authentic and original and well-situated theme for a course. The holes themselves are homespun -- could use some maintenance and a few cases redesign -- but that is part of the charm. The fact that it's free to play makes it extremely difficult to complain about this aspect of it. The amenities are very relaxed -- a bar, coffee, and a souvenir shop which seemed to be staffed in an irregular rotation -- and I only regret we were there on such a busy day that it was hard to get the attention of any of the staff (staff? owners? auteurs?) I've never been to a mini-golf where you could sit in a chair in the middle of a roaring brook between holes. There's no cell phone service here, near as I can tell, which (a) may account for the low number of reviews, and (b) is a feature, IMHO. You can imagine the sense of isolation and wonder of the old Washington Irving tales from 200 years ago pretty easily without your magical screen functioning. Whatever mad genius thought this place up and keeps it open -- my old school tipped dutch hat is off to you, sir or madam. May you be here forever.

    My friend and I came here as part of our mini golf tour, and we were not disappointed. While it is…read more45 minutes from Albany, it is quick highway travel and we soon found ourselves surrounded by cornfields, trees, and hills. It felt like we were in the middle of nowhere, and it was very peaceful. The course is $10.50 a person, but that includes UNLIMITED play for that day. So, it turns out to be a good value if you want to play multiple rounds. The holes are pretty simplistic, but many present multiple paths to the cup including some hidden tubes and channels. If you aren't familiar with the course, I would recommend scoping out each hole before putting. It is a basic course scenery wise: no water hazards, no real sand traps (just gray colored carpet which matches the rest of the green fairway), no jumps, no windmills, etc. There was an intersting tunnel and covered bridge which you played through, and a few other novelty holes with multiple staggered greens that broke up the monotony. That being said, we really enjoyed it. It was more strategic than we first thought, and the cups were for the most part fair (they didn't stick out of the ground causing frustrating rim-shots that plague other courses). All the trees/hills/rocks made it impossible to see the whole course from one place, which isolated us and allowed us to feel like we were the only ones there (until that group of kids caught up... we let them play through). As an aside, the owner woman was extremely friendly and dished out a good scoop of Hershey's ice cream too! This was a fun course.

    Part 17 of our comprehensive review of every mini-golf place within an hour's driving distance of…read morethe Capital Region quadrangle moves us to the bucolic setting of the Schoharie Valley, where we tried Gobbler's Knob. The complex includes bungee jumping and a simple but nice driving range, plus what looks like a very nice Par-3 golf course. You can rent golf clubs for the Par 3, and for both the mini-golf and par 3, you pay once and can play all day. There's a basic snack bar with sketcy-looking hot dogs and ice cream, three sad arcade games, and one actual-working pinball machine in the snack shack. There is also a picnic pavilion, although this seems to be rental only. This review, as ever, is only for the mini-golf portion. I note there's a go-kart place on the same drive, but it's run as a completely separate business with different hours. If you want to combine activities, as we did, it's tricky because the go-kart place is run as a side business and the hours are a bit erratic. Pricing is simple: $6 for 5 years old and up, free for 4 and under, one price lets you play all day. Bring the scorecard back to the clubhouse to get a fresh ball and scorecard after hitting the ball into the outhouse on Hole 18. This is a mostly putt-only course, with a few hazard holes that have a little bit of a theme to them. Obstacles are mostly rocks and hills/dips; a few former sand traps have been replaced with painted astroturf, which looks really tacky. It shows the signs of some originality but at least some of the holes are cookie cutter. The holes are on a paved concrete path, surrounded by nice flowers, but make sure you turn left to start out - the holes aren't marked well, with no flags and only an embossed number in the concrete for each hole to tell you where you are. The setting, as noted, is absolutely lovely: there's a farm silo nearby, mountain views in all directions, and a nice lake. There's a creek running into the lake but there was no water running into it. Very disappointingly, there was what looks like a watercourse in part of the course, at least a fountain-mountain, that was dry, and even if there was water running they didn't incorporate water into any of the holes. A mini-golf course with no water hazards is a real waste, IMHO, and given there's natural water here, this is especially sad. The holes weren't terribly challenging, and a number of them had problems with wear on the astroturf surface, including a few with very annoying seams that actually went through the hole (see picture) that made them difficult plays. That said, the course was swept and blown of debris, and the staff were very nice and accommodating. Best holes are #9 (a covered bridge you can walk under), #11 (a deceptive three-tiered hole that had us wondering where our balls had gone), and #15, a walk-through fibreglass "cave" sponsored by nearby Howe's caverns. There's ads/sponsorship for some of the holes, but only the Howe's cavern hole is related to a theme at all; a pity, since the Schoharie Valley offers history from the French and Indian War to Hurricane Irene that easily lends itself to mini-golf themes. #18 Is an "outhouse" where you subtract strokes from your score for hitting it into a skee-ball like target, with the ball disappearing; no free-game-for-hole-in-one, but since it's play-all-day it doesn't matter that much here. There are three two-tiered holes, which is fun, but on none of the holes where there's a "trick shot" are you rewarded with a hole in one. I'm quite torn about the rating here, because the course itself as a course is only a very average three, and wiithout the water features it's a bit plain. The maintenance is also only average, the nice daily maintenance countered by worn turf and bad seams. But it's a very nice outdoors setting, off the road, and at $6 for play all day it's a pretty decent price if you play twice. But still, you will get bored about halfway through the second round. We're on the fence between three and four stars, so will give it a nudge to four based on kind staff, with the understanding it's a middle of the road mini-golf course among the region's offerings if judged on pure playing.
