Water Golf On City Island

Not much has changed at Water Golf over the last few years.
* Still has nice views of the Susquehanna.
* The holes are still on the easier side leaning to more of a putt-​putt feel (par 2 & 3 material) rather than some newer courses which are far more difficult (par 3 & 4 material).
* Still has a basic array of snacks, drinks and ice cream although we didn’t partake so I can’t speak to their quality.
* The one drawback is that it looks like more money gets spent on landscaping than on maintaining the carpets/​holes. Certain holes are looking worn yet there are tons of flowers planted everywhere. While the flowers are nice, this isn’t Longwood Gardens so it’s really irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
* Prices are now $ 6.50 for adults and $ 5.50 for children.
For our round things weren’t too crowded (we did not go on a Saturday or on a night when the Senators were at home — both of which should be avoided) and everyone kept a decent pace so there weren’t crazy waits between holes which when combined with the views of the river and the nice shade from all of the trees equals another solid fun time.

Had a great time here! The course is right next to the water (as the name suggests) and has pretty views. The holes are a nice mix of easy to hard but nothing too complicated for a friendly game of mini golf. Fun place for an afternoon date or to bring the kiddos!

This course is nice and condensed 18 hole course that has an ice cream shop and a view of the river that can’t be beat. The «Water Golf» name stems from the fact that it sits right on the river and not that the course involves any kind of major water obstacles. There are some with water traps but nothing out of the ordinary. I thought the course was pretty tough myself but I am no golf afficinado. Their website claims it is championship-​style mini golf whatever that really means. It is well maintained and affordable at $ 5.75 per person/​game. Sometimes they even have real parrots hanging out in the front repeating things the crowd says.
