Ghost Golf is an unbelievable hidden gem! Weve been here four times times and all experiences have been excellent. The idea of having a haunted house style miniature golf is incredibly unique. They execute the spooky idea to perfection. They make great use of interactive audio-animatronics which come alive as you golf. At each hole, they have something special. At hole one, they have Sandy Trapp, a skeleton which talks to you as you golf. Many of his lines are funny and interesting. They also have spinners as you golf, which have many interesting tricks to do, such as a granny or behind the back shot. They have a Haunted Mansion style animatronic which has done something different each time. They have a skeleton which pops up over you as the decorations shake. My favorite animatronic is Thimble, the voodoo doll. He shares his sad and compelling story. It is jaw-dropping to have something this advanced at a mini-golf place. He is hard to activate, but worth the wait! Another thing which I really enjoy is the skeleton band. They give a lengthy performance, but I wish they could play multiple songs. Towards the end, they have many spooky creatures pop up. They are scary and funny when they pop up, but sometimes they take a long time. The haunted house animatronics and decorations are professional and Disney quality. The golf can be challenging, but it isnt as bad as people say. We actually had more hole in ones than other mini golf places, so it isnt too hard. Some of the holes are either hole in ones or you give up. Unlike the other golf places, they dont have obstacles on the golf course. While the obstacles are mostly the same at each mini golf place, a few of them would be nice. A couple of the holes were boring and needed obstacles or an animatronic. A new feature was the skeleton in the front. This time, the skeleton was singing and dancing to Halloween songs. It made the first few holes much more interesting. The mummy shooting gallery is another great feature at Ghost Golf. It is great that it is on free play, as you can play it for a long time. The mummies are creepy and pop up at you just like on the course. However, one of the mummies make a loud popping sound, which interrupts the entire course. The air hockey is cool and also on free play, but one of the sides of the puck is unplayable. Not a huge problem, but it is annoying when you have to flip it. The arcade itself needs improvement. The Tales of the Crypt Pinball is great, but everything else seems slightly dated. The owners are friendly and service is good. The Ghost of Ghost Golf is perfect and the Golf is pretty good too. They make great use of the small space and the decorations outside the building are cute and really complete the atmosphere. Very clean and great for a rainy/hot day since it is indoors. Here is what they should add to make it even better, which is super difficult: More obstacles. Especially on holes without animatronics. More/better arcade games. Or at the very least update the current games. Cleaner bathrooms. Put them at the front since you have to walk through the entire course to get to them. Can ruin the experience if something activates at you. Keep up the good work Ghost Golf!

I just left Ghost Golf and EVERY SINGLE ARCADE MACHINE WAS WORKING PERFECTLY! that last reviewer apparently doesn t know how to play! i spent like 30 mins playing Carnevil which is one of my all time favorite games. i also LOVED Tales from the Crypt Pinball game, you can barely FIND pinball games these days! i love how each of the arcade games fits the whole haunt theme that the place has, i played every machine several times and didnt have a single problem! the mini golf is just AWESOME!! every single hole has some animatronic figure, from a skeleton that cracks jokes at you while you play to a bust that comes to life a possessed voodoo doll, flying bats and singing ghouls. i really dont know how hateful of a person you have to be to come out of this place complaining. they give you mini golf, shooting galley, air hockey, and several arcade games for 2 hours. for 2 hours you can play all these games for just 15 bucks. you really must be completely miserable in your life if youre bored after just 15 mins. this place is a gem and we are really lucky to have it in Concord. the fact that it was hand built by the husband and wife owners only make it more endearing to me!!!

I wish I could leave 0 stars. I bought a voucher on Groupon and for 3 weeks I have tried to redeem it. I live 30 miles away from the location and the last 2 times I showed up they were closed even though online it said they were opened. This time considering the holiday, I called the location at 11:45 am to ask how late they were opened and the lady on the phone said 7:30 pm but arrive at 7pm to redeem voucher. We showed up at 6:15 pm and the door was wide open so we walked in and the same woman I spoke to on the phone said they were closed the moment we walked in. She was rude and accused me of hanging up on her and lying about the time she told us to show up even though I had 2 witnesses when I called and the same 2 when I showed up. She had no remorse for all the time we had wasted and yelled at us. She did not let us redeem our voucher and after all the disrespect I do not recommend this place. I would also like to file a complaint to the owners and suggest the city of Concord shuts them down because of the manner they disrespect customers.

This review is perfect. Ill keep mine short. Really neat place, great effects, spooky atmosphere, looks like good times. Staff is good, clean restroom, there are definitely positives. Still, there are a too many things on the course that just kind of ruin the experience: Holes through obstacles are tiny, maybe 1.5 times bigger than the ball. Too many of the holes are on the top of these giant mounds. Not like the top of a hill with a flat part, I mean literally, someone sculpted a 10 inch mountain and put a cup in it. How are you supposed to hit your ball into it without taking 3+ tries? Basically, you can just hit the ball around and have some fun, theres nothing wrong with that, but its basically impossible to actually do well. It just takes away from the experience. Why is it so hard? Also, little girl was crying because of how scary this place is. It got my wife a couple times.

Great concept, but they bungled it. I love the idea of a spooky ghost horror genre themed mini golf course and shoot em up live reaction gallery, that last one reminds me of the "Boot Hill" shooting arcade at Disneyland. But this place has poorly designed obstacles, the holes are too small, the place smells like feet and is dorty, not to mention poorly maintained (our balls got stuck twice), the staff us as rude as hell, and they bait and switch on honoring Groupons. If I or my brother had our own business like this from a converted old warehouse space to a horror themed indoor mini golf and shoot em up reaction gallery, we would take better care to maintain it, hire better and more polite staff, and keep it clean...and we would utilize better design of the obstacle courses, holes, amd overall decor. Id give it about 2 and 1/2 stars if it were allowed.
