    Rodeo burger with onion ring instead of smothered onion.

    This was a place I always went as a child. The burgers, rings, and frappes among other things are sooo good . Pictures here is a west burger with onion ring in place of smothered onions.

    An incredible lakesdie view!

    My husband and I were so excited to discover Taber's mini golf. Who knew that Auburn, ME was such a mecca for mini golf, with both Roy's and Taber's within 5 min of each other?!? (For the record, both are great in their own unique ways, and they combine to make an excellent day trip to Auburn). We came to Taber's on a Saturday evening and it definitely was busy - it seemed to be all locals as opposed to tourists, as the parking lot was 100% Maine license plates. Even with the slight crowds, we still didn't have to wait too long on any given hole, and we were able to use the extra time to soak in all the cool sights of this mini golf course. The mini golf course is beautifully maintained (not gonna lie, I LOVE a nicely manicured mini golf course where the greens are in tip-top shape), with lots of carvings of animals sprinkled across the course to set the scene. They even had a cute little fairy garden around one of the holes! The best part though was that, at around hole 9, you get an *epic* view - I'm so glad we came here around sunset, as we ended up getting some beautiful pics of our group with the lake in the background. It truly is an exceptional property, with a HUGE lawn and a driving range as well. This is one of those mini golf courses that will please both the serious golfers (the greens are so nicely maintained that the course feels fair if you want to have a competition within your group) and newbies (plenty of variety across the holes to keep things interesting for all). After mini golf, we grabbed a bite here as well. While we originally ate here because of the convenience (we worked up quite an appetite after 18 holes!), we were pleasantly surprised by the food. The hot dog was A++ (I am kind of a hot dog snob...), the fries were hot and shoe-string style (basically like an upgraded version of McDonalds - and I mean this as a compliment!), and the grilled cheese was perfect (I think this is the first time I've ever seen a round grilled cheese!). The food prices really can't be beat either. My husband and I have visited 100+ mini golf courses across the country, and this little spot in Auburn, Maine really impressed us and ranks high on our list of best mini golf courses in Maine.

    Good memories from the past here. They have Mini golf, driving range, ice cream, burgers, onion rings and more. Our family gathered up here to sit around the picnic tables and go back in the past. We shared ice cream and rings and drove balls on a beautiful day and enjoyed the view.

    This folks is the coleslaw...how much you ask....$2...for THIS!!!!

    This has always been a place that my family goes during the summer. We usually fun putting on the mini golf course and eating lunch. This is part of what makes up our summer traditions. Of course over the years things have been updated. The mini golf course has become bigger and better and the driving course has had face lifts. Small things along the way that always make us even more eager to go for the new year. This year however....this year is horrible! The prices have skyrocketed and the quality has good down. You can't even eat the food because it tastes like cardboard! You have to pay an arm and a leg for it....and now are forced to wait 30minutes. For a hotdog and a burger! My summer traditions are fading.... Each golf by golf ball. Don't waste your time... Sorry...I love small business, but this one needs even more of a face lift.

    Double Cheeseburger and fries

    Hands down one of the greatest cheeseburgers I've ever had. Added with the lakeside atmosphere on a nice summer day, this place is a hidden gem!

    Do not waste your money. Keep on driving

    Great spot for mini golf and roadside dining. It's not gourmet. Just good! Real frappes, famous beach style battered onion rings.

    I've been going to this course for a few years now - but this year has been rather horrid for a…read moremultitude of reasons. - pace of play has dramatically slowed. Too many groups on the course at a time, and a lot of these groups have little etiquette / are slow and unskilled. Pace of play recommendation is 4 hours, but prepare for 6. As a result, 3 times this season I have paid for 18 only to play 9 to 11 holes and give up due to the horrible pace of play and skill set ahead of me. - unskilled groups (t-shirt golfers) I think the dress code enforcement has been decreased / isn't applied anymore. Therefore, you end up getting a ton of "scrubs" / "T-shirt golfers" out there, slowing everything down. I blame both of these issues as a result of dramatically increasing the number of memberships being handed out. Further, since Prospect Hill in Auburn closed, I would assume the newbie golfer type decided to colonize Fairlawn :( I recommend Fox Ridge in Auburn - it is marginally more expensive but you do not find yourself in the same predicament (long waits, etc.). ---------------------------------------------- HOWEVER - I WOULD BE WRONG TO NOT TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY DO RIGHT! Great staff - always polite and have personality. Not afraid to chat with you. I love feeling welcomed when I arrive. Good food! Generally great course conditions - the fairways are generally pretty good unless it's been a wet week or overly hot. In those cases, you may experience mud or yellowed, dry fairways. Of course, you can take relief under the rules of golf for "abnormal course conditions". These issues are at every course - simply because of where we live. Fairlawn is great, but I think the issues outlined above are preventing me from making this my "home" course. I could be persuaded otherwise, but I doubt that management can put the "cat back in the bag" so to speak.

Beyond it's serene location and peaceful atmosphere, Fairlawn Golf & Country Club has offered something for golfers of all levels since 1963.

You put the cash into the machine and it gives you a little button type coin. Then you put this coin into the ball dispenser. We got two sets of balls. On the other side of the ball dispenser were clubs to borrow. Mostly drivers, a few irons. I saw a few sets of friends with their own clubs. I found a senior driver that added 10 yards to my swing. We also hit some softballs /baseballs at the cages. They provide mandatory helmets. You pay $1.50 for a round of balls and there was a dispenser for clubs there as well. The place was a playground. We would've done more if we had the time. We had a dinner there too and the best thing was the orange creamsicle. So good and my kids were talking about them for days. Oh and the place is professionally landscaped. Gorgeous hostas ! Thank you for keeping this place running and giving parents affordable activities to enjoy as a family. Blessings to you.
