After reading reviews on the journey to the place, I began getting concerned. My first impression when we pulled in: the road is a little unmaintained, a kiddie ride and kiddie go-kart; a mini-golf course and two bigger go-kart, with a bumper boat ride. As a group of 11, we werent sure what to expect. There are two portable bathrooms behind what is an arcade, they were cleaned. Overall, the park is a little outdated and needs minimal maintainence update. For each of the rides we went on: MINI-GOLF, the course was challenging at parts, and had wonderful foliage around. There is no still water, multiple waterfalls, little ripples of rapids - 4/5. BUMPER BOATS, the pool was a little unmaintained, boats were slow, but they had a water gun sprayer so you were able to spray other people on the ride - 3/5. ARCADE, n/a. GO-KARTs {kiddie}, n/a. GO-KARTs {bigger track}, amazing experience, the track was big enough to fit a group of 11 people to have enjoyment. Though they were strict about not bumping, we made sure to slightly bump if we were going to - what can I say, we are competitive and challenged one another. Some of the cars were slower than others, some were way faster - easy fix, tune all equally. Everything about the track and karts was exciting and fun - 5/5. GO-KARTs {smaller track}, the cars were much faster than the bigger track, it was more a stock sprint feeling - all left turns. The cars were a bit bouncier especially when you would turn. You were in a more protected kart than the bigger track. The track was slick and had a nice design - 5/5. Overall, this amusement center was a pleasure to a group of 11. We believed that the more people you had the more fun because of the GO-KARTs and mini-golf. If youre not from the area like us and looking to spend two hours of family enjoyment for an ok price, I recommend Caddie Shak. Negatives: not updated/maintained, staff {friendliness and professionalism}, and the buildings. Give this center a chance and you may find yourself opposed to some of the reviews - it is definitely a different feeling than Cedar Point, Hershey Park, Knoebels and other big amusement parks that specialize in amusement.

The Caddie Shak was so much fun! I brought my nieces and nephews, who are from Texas and loved every part of it. We rode on the go-carts which to me was very fast! The staff was very nice and showed us how to control the go-carts. We then all played about 5 rounds of mini golf, my one niece won every time! We ended our night staying at the Log Cabin Lodge and Suites. The suite we choose was the Bears Den Suite , which was amazing! It was so large and spacious; it has 3 bedrooms enough for all my nieces and nephews! The beds were all soft and clean. There was even a hot tub in the room!! The hot tub was perfect, we all enjoyed it! The built-in kitchen and the bathroom were spotless. The staff was wonderful and so helpful.

The "upper" golf course had holes that were so slanted you could not play them. The first hole had said slant, we finally ended up skipping it. The there other hole where the slant not meant to be an obstacle, but developed. The 14th hole was holding balls. The crew came out to "fix" it. Unload and number of balls. Next crew up us. The hole kept our balls. Went ask for a refund and was turned down. This is not a suit able mini gold course to play!

Wound up here unexpectedly when Idewilde was closed during the week in late August. The diversion saved the day. The boys (7 and 5) had a great time driving the little go carts, and riding shot gun in the big go carts. They got to shoot paint ball guns at targets and play in the little arcade. Batting cages and mini golf as well and near 7 Springs Resort. Nice little spot.

Really fun place with lots of different things to do. I would give it 5 stars but I think pricing is a little higher than other places. 2 mini golf courses, 3 different level of go cart track, paint ball target shooting, driving range, small arcade, food, small park and more. Only saw porta-poty for bathroom. All the employees we met were really nice.

Its a fun and nostalgic place to visit. A bit overpriced, but my kids had a blast. The kids working in the main area by the golf course werent super friendly. It seemed more of a hang out for them than a job. The guys at the go karts were super nice though. Made up for the young kids.

My friends and I had the time of our lives zooming around the track on the go karts! We then moved over to play a round of mini golf on their new course. Boy, it sure was a challenge! My one friend Kevin didnt even make it past the 3rd hole! Thanks Caddie Shak! HSO

I went here when I was alot younger. Great place then, and the mini golf is still nice now. Just about everything else has gone spoiled, the guy running it kinda went broke, and is selling the place. Goodbye Caddie Shack? Hello new owners or new addition to Donegal?

Used to be so much fun back in about 2008-2011. I had not gone from 2012 until 2015. In 2015 when we went back it was a dump. Mens Bathroom sink is still broken from 9years ago. And the putt putt course was in bad condition. And the go karts were very slow.

If your expectations are low you can have fun. We went on a weeknight so place wasnt very busy...place showing its age...didnt have enough staff to run all kid attractions...we still had fun on bumper boats and go karts...just dont expect too much.

Opened last weekend. Looking great. Rides were refurbished . Arcade and snack shak Got big makeovers. The range has new clubs and facelift. New owner had a lot to do. Only one week lasts opening this year. Definitely worth the wait. Check it out.

Staff seemed like they wanted to be anywhere other than Caddie Shak. The go carts are mediocre at best and the track is unimpressive. Mini golf had a few good holes but it is showing age and wear. Location is also way out of the way.

The mini golf was fun but the gokarts were overpriced slow carts and a simple track. The bathrooms were disgusting. There were feces in the urinal and no soap. If you go to caddie shack definitely use the restroom before you show up.

Good place to take the kids and ride some go-carts. The staff is friendly and helpful. The place does need a little updating, but we had a blast and will be sure to revisit as often as possible.

Very simple design to the Highlander mini golf, very uneven design, hard to predict where the ball will go. The race way was nice. Go carts were not too loud. Very scenic. Decent overall

Disorganized staff who closed all the rides prematurely, then sold us tickets. About as modern as their website, but looked like it could have been fun 5 years ago.
