Putt-Putt Fun Center

Et si on se faisait un mini golf? A Fayetteville, c’est vite décidé, on va chez Putt-​Putt. Nous nous attendions à un parcours sophistiqué et bien décoré.
Le résultat est un peu décevant: des parcours simples avec quelques bosses et quelques obstacles. Il faut inventer le fun qui va autour sinon on s’ennuie très vite.
Il y a d’autres attractions: arcade, auto tamponneuses, karting… sans énorme intérêt.

Putt-​Putt Fun Center is soooo fun. We came in during the Super Saturday all ride half off from 10 – 1. More for your money!!! My children and I had a great time. The customer service was excellent. The staff goes beyond what is required for them to do and it shows. The manager made sure that all your needs was being met at all times. The Go-​Kart was my favorite my children wanted to keep getting on them. My son played baseball in the batting cage and my favorite was the bumper boats. I would definitely go back whenever I’m in town on vacation.

This place is SMALL!!! It has a lot of things, but at the same time it doesn’t. For example the arcade has maybe 15 – 20 games. I was with 2 seven year olds and they were able to kill $ 30 in about 20 mins. The «bumper cars» are a joke. They fit about 8 of them on a 15ft x 15ft course. Way to small to get any speed or anything. Batting cages are average. I didn’t even see this go karts, so be honest.
The staff was really nice though and the entire area is clean. There’s worse places to kill an hour, before watching a movie at the theater close by. I’ve been to several fun centers like this and sometimes size does matter. Especially when selection comes with size.

I liked the golf course. It wasn’t busy so we ended up playing to rounds. The atmosphere was nice, for a Saturday night there wasn’t a lot of rift-​raft and it was more families with their kids and couples on dates. The mini golf course was nice, clean, a little challenging. However the batting cages were a nightmare. First of all the pricing doesn’t make any sense. $ 8 for 40 hits or something like that? or $ 20 for a half hour… huh? The attendants informed us that batting cages 1 &2 didn’t work well, so stay away from them. Well, unfortunately 3 &4 were occupied, so we went to 2 and waited, and waited. Nothing happened. We went to cage 3 after the other couple left and the machine started to throw balls. After a good 3 minutes, the other cage we had been in started to throw balls as well. The machine we were using was throwing them inconsistently. It started to actually become silly. I probably wouldn’t go back to the batting cages. I do recommend the mini golf course though, you can’t go wrong with that.

Let me first start by saying I am only reviewing the go karts, not the entire place. With that being said, I will never go back. My son who is 9 was with a friend and I took them to ride the go karts. So first things first, the track is really small, and mostly curves, with curves it makes the karts shake as you go around them. After they were done they both complained about headaches and how the backs of their heads hurt. Afterwards I realized that they were not tall enough to have the back headrest actually be where it be beneficial. My son 15 minutes later is throwing up. Concussion!!! It just seems like common sense that there should be a height requirement! Duh x 100!

Atmosphere: Fun and inviting. They have an arcade with tons of new games. There is also an indoor bumber car area, but not the typical bumper cars we are used to. These bumper cars are fun and unique. Outdoors, there is a batting cage, miniature golf, and, oh, yes, go-​karts! They also have a prize area, similar to Chuck-E-Cheese’s where you exchange tickets for prizes. They offer food, a sitting area with tables, and they host events and parties. ⁴⁄₅
Price: Fairly reasonable. The arcade games are a bit expensive, but fun. ³⁄₅
Cleanliness: Clean, clean, clean. I love it when a place takes pride in their appearance. ⁴⁄₅
Quality: I am getting an outside opinion on food. I asked a kid if the pizza here tasted better than Chuck-E-Cheese’s and they said yes. One of the games offered prizes, except that the popular «easy» prizes were all gone (out of stock), so this made the game just about impossible to win. So basically, you’re putting money in and getting nothing in return. Also, I noticed one of the games broke while I was there, it was a kind of jump-​rope video game. ³⁄₅
Customer service: They are all over it and all about it. Very friendly. However, not very knowledgable, but the place is still new. They probably haven’t learned all the ropes yet. ³⁄₅
Overall score: 3.4 out of 5
I gave them a 4 because in the end, I had a lot of fun.
