The Fringe

Paying is a bit confusing. You have to get In The movie theater concession line. And then hope someone sees you at the end of the counter to give you your balls. Because nothing is given to you when you pay. We had to wait for someone to go and get the larger set of clubs. Which means when you start golfing, you are now with a group of people. The course is pretty bare. Weak course décor and they didn’t even have the ponds full, fountains on. There was popcorn all over the course.
The one positive is that there are 2, 18 hole courses to play. They are pretty similar though.
The bathrooms inside, at least the ladies, looked like it hadn’t been cleaned all day. Every stall was unfleshed and in wiped down. There was to toilet paper and popcorn all over the floor. Pretty disappointed with the whole place.

Because I lost at mini-​golf when we played at Pirate’s Cove, I insisted that we try The Fringe next, since I’d heard such great things on Unilocal.We ended up in the front of the shopping complex and would’ve missed it had I not insisted we drive around back. So for those of you who may not be directionally inclined, drive to the back! I promise, it’s there.
We played all 36 holes and had a good time. It was definitely a little busier than Pirate’s Cove, so we had to wait at some points because we’d caught up to the people in front of us. Bigger groups were sweet and let us go ahead, so it wasn’t problematic. They sell a number of beverages at the ticket booth, so we had a big bottle of Smart Water as we played.
My only real complaint is that the two courses (18 holes each, if you don’t know golf) were nearly identical. I’m sure there were some differences, but by the end, we felt like we’d just played the same course twice. I preferred Pirate’s Cove, where the 18 hole and 9 hole courses were really quite different.
All in all, a fun way to while away a couple of hours! There is also Whirly Ball, Laser Tag, and a movie theater in the same complex, so if you’re looking for a way to while away the majority of a day on a mega-​date, it would be easy to do around these parts.

This place is above average. The facilities are nice and well maintained. However, pretty much every hole is set up the same and has the same layout. They were not creative. It is still quite fun and you should go.

the biggest (36 holes) putt putt in atlanta. at the moment, of course!
I’m a fan of mini golf and I searched all over the web for a mini golf place in atlanta & this has been the best so far. the pirate’s cove in gwinnett isn’t so bad, BUT this place is a lot bigger.
| PRICING: | there are 2 courses available; 18 holes each. adult price for one course is $ 7. you end saving more if you do the 2 course (36 holes total) ticket for $ 10.50. they do offer cheaper prices for children and seniors. this place is also great for families since they offer family packages as well for a discounted price (per person) — minimum of 4 family members and max of 3 adults
not only do they offer so many diff. options for single play, but they even have a AYCP (all you can play before 6pm) price set. adults = $ 14, children 4 – 12 = $ 10, and seniors = $ 11
| LOCATION: | the website can be a bit tricky since they advertise movie promotions, but that’s because they’re literally linked to one another. the ticket booth of «the fringe» mini golf is connected to the actual theater, «aurora». if will be right behind the big lots off of alpharetta hwy. if you spot the theater, you are in the right place. it will be the huge greenery area right in front of the theater.
| EXPERIENCE: | the estimated time from the website for one course is about 45 mins. that is actually quite accurate, but that sounds more like a 2 – 3 people group. I actually had a group of 6, so it took quite awhile lol. it was annoying as well since they were kind of busy and we were taking so long with the turn taking. the groups behind us were kindly waiting and it made us feel so rushed that the experience wasn’t all that perfect. therefore, I recommend you try and go during non-​peak hours, so you won’t go through the same thing.
as for the overall appearance, this place is kept quite clean for an outdoor activity. the scenery is nice as well. there’s rivers with artificial coloring, bunkers (sand), and other details. the theme of the place seems to be wild west. there are obstacles like shooting through tunnels, under cannons, around mini streams, etc.

The mini golf was great! For 36 holes it was 30 dollars for a family of 4, which is a fair price. (My family had the family 4 pack, $ 7.50 for both courses.) There were mini waterfalls, a Pirate’s ship, and more. It was very family friendly (though some holes are kind of hard) and a lot of fun. The first course was mining themed, and the second course was pirate themed. It’s kind of cheesy, but it was still nice. The entire place is very neat and clean. It’s great for the whole family.

Went on Sunday ⁵⁄₂₆ w/​LOML (Love of My Life)…We skipped seeing a movie because we had so much fun w/​the mini-​golf! Two 18-​hole courses are beautifully designed although I wish there was more shade… we were burning up out there while waiting for the next hole to open up. When we arrived it was a bit crowded but by the time we played our second game, everyone had either left or gone into the movie theater!
I wish the booth/​office had its own concession stand b/​c if you want anything to drink or to snack on, you’ll unfortunately have to go inside to the movie theater concession stand and pay those outrageous prices! $ 5.50 for a small fountain beverage? $ 3.00 for a small bottled water? NO THANX! We passed on that and just waited until we were done and went elsewhere…
But back to the Fringe… WE had a blast! Will definitely go back again!..
Two adults, 2 18-​hole game each, $ 21 total.

Wonderful facility. Two courses to pick from, with similar types of holes on both, so just pick the one that appeals to you. Landscaping is immaculate and very pretty, especially this time of year with lots of blooming plants. Waterfalls and streams run through the course, and there’s a fun and slightly cheesy theme with old southern town «buildings», mines, trains, etc. Slightly cheesy is what good mini-​golf décor should be, right?
Everything is kept extremely clean and neat. The employees are friendly and helpful. A couple of them walked through picking up any stray cups and sweeping stray mulch, giving us happy smiles and asking how we were enjoying ourselves. Tons of easy parking.
You can get a snack from the locally owned movie theater that’s part of this complex. I haven’ t been to the theater yet, but plan to try it soon.
Cost is $ 7.00 for one game, one course, with discounts for little kids and those age 55+. Check their website for specials on various days of the week, including buy one course, get one free on Wednesdays — an especially good deal.

J and C will be jealous that I got to play mini golf on my lunch break for a team building.
Many of the managers in charge of our department are big golfers, so of course they thought of this place that is very close by. After having lunch in the lobby of the movie theater, we each got a wrist band entitling us to unlimited golf for the afternoon. I only made it through 12 holes before having to head back to a teleconference.
The theme of the course that I played was «Chattahoochee Gulch» kind of like a wild west prospecting town. The grounds are well maintained — clean greens, nice landscaping. They’ve got a good number of benches and trash cans throughout the course.
Looking at the website, for adults it’s $ 7 for playing 1 course or $ 10.50 for 2. It’s been a while since I played mini golf, but considering how nice the course seemed to me, I’d be willing to pay that to bring my toddler, particularly since kids under 4 are free.
