This Mini Golf Course is exactly what we needed in South Orange County. The golf course has an upper section, for kids younger than 14. The lower course is for adults and children 14 and older. They have music playing while you're golfing, such great vibes. The lower course is challenging yet fun. On the lower course you can scan the QR code for drinks that they bring to your hole. The service is excellent and the staff were friendly. Salty Turf is a great place for family fun and a great place for date night. read more

So I'm not sure really how to rate here because I only played the uppers course and did not have any food or drinks. The course itself was fun. The place is nice, I think it can get a bit warm and there is no shade on the course itself. So bring a hat or hopefully they can install some shady things. As a walk up I will say that was the only downside. I would make a reservation and fill out a waiver before going. Filling out the waiver there just takes too long and makes the line efficiency 0. Well let me clarify for one person it's probably quick but not for a family. Staff is all young but they all seemed and gave great quality customer service. So would I go back the answer is yes. read more

Way better than even hoped for! My boys (ages 5 and 8) had a blast, as did my parents. The course is such a nice love letter to south Orange County. The food was way better than we expected too, we ended up staying for three hours while the kids played and grabbed dinner there. The chef is from Proud Mary's. We ordered appetizers just to hold the kids over, but were so impressed we went ahead and ordered dinner as well. So nice to have this! My only request: Please let us order non-alcoholic beverages from the course. I didn't realize this until we were already playing and my boys were a little bummed that they didn't get to feel "fancy" like the adults and have their drinks brought out to them. I had to stop mid-course and grab drinks and then walk through the gravel to not disrupt other golfers. Not the end of the world by any means, but would be a massive help! I also love how this has employed so many local teens especially, they were all so eager to help and kind. All around a massive win for the community. read more

We took our 5- and 3-year-old grandsons to Salty Turf Golf this past weekend for their very first mini-golf experience, and it was a huge hit! We booked the first tee time at 10 a.m. on the Uppers course. Quick tip: Book your tee time online and fill out the waiver form ahead of time -- it made check-in a breeze. We grabbed our wristbands, our friendly caddy handed over the clubs, and we were off. The staff -- a group of kind, friendly young guys and girls -- impressed us right away with their helpful attitude. The course itself is fantastic: thoughtfully designed to entertain both kids and adults. Our grandsons loved it so much they were running from hole to hole with pure joy. We quickly gave up on keeping score and just let them have fun -- exactly what mini-golf with little ones should be! Helpful Tips for Families with Young Kids If you're bringing children under 14 (especially the littlest ones who are still learning the game), consider signing up and paying just for the kids while adults walk along as their "gallery." Non-players play free! We spent a little over $90 for our group of four, but it would have been only about $40 for just the two boys. We were done in about 45 minutes, which is perfect for short attention spans but 60 would have been less pressure. A tiered pricing structure would be wonderful -- something like lower rates for ages 3-8yrs, a middle tier for 9-12yrs, and full price for adults. There's a noticeable difference in how little ones experience the course versus older kids who already have the hang of it. Other Suggestions Plan to stay a while and eat on-site to lengthen the experience. The menu looks tempting with quality food from Chef Jamie (formerly of Trevor at The Tracks, Iva Lee's, and more). A bit on the pricier side, but it seems worth it. It would be great if non-alcoholic drinks could be carried to the holes too (not just alcohol). One small improvement: Tee times felt a little too close together, which created some pressure to rush. A group of two behind us were standing waiting for us to finish the hole frequently. Grouping foursomes back to back and twosomes back to back would help even the pace so everyone can relax and enjoy the beautiful course more. Prices are on the higher side, so club memberships with discounted play and food, or a "Dew Duster" early/mid-morning rate (10-12 p.m.) would be fantastic additions! Bottom line: GO! Salty Turf feels like the Disneyland version of San Clemente -- clean, engaging, super family-friendly, with a well-designed course and warm, welcoming staff. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back. Highly recommend it for families, date nights, or a fun outing with friends! read more

This place rules! We had an awesome time on a date night and will definitely be coming back. Everything is first class and done right. So much detail. This feels like the bar has been raised on mini putt. Another huge perk is being able to order drinks from your phone and get them delivered nearly in seconds. 5 stars all around! read more

Such a fun addition to San Clemente! The course is incredibly creative, with awesome local touches, including Camp Pendleton, North Shore quotes, and San Clemente references that make every hole unique.

Great service, both courses are great. Good food and drink. Just an overall great spot to spend time with friends and family.

Super fun with cool vibes! Our whole group had a fantastic time! Highly recommended for all ages.

Golf was great-- challenging course and cool ideas. Food was ok. Expensive snack bar type food. Not to mention that no refills on $4 fountain sodas is crazy. The staff stands around and doesn't look busy. read more

Had a wonderful experience! The course was fun, and even though it was crowded, the reservation times made sure we didn't feel rushed or anything. I only wish you could order things besides wine and beer on the course, as I was waiting to order something non alcoholic. Also, there were drinks that were "unavailable" online (white claws & seltzers), but when asking a waitress, there were plenty available. read more

What a fun and enjoyable experience. We were invited to friends and family night and had a blast. The whole vibe is super fun, well planned and very inviting. We played both courses and enjoyed them both. The traditional course made us smile with the awesome staging from the beach community. The professional course was much harder and kept you on your toes. The food was delicious. We had the sausage sandwich, the chicken sandwich, the pepperoni pizza, the chocolate chip cookie and the salted Carmel brownie. The food was delicious. Take your family, take a date, go with friends, you will love the experience read more
