After Sunday's visit to , we can easily say that this is one of the most unique mini-golf experiences that we have ever had! Themed as an old hotel/speakeasy, this course offers thirteen holes that are deceptively challenging. The switching between carpeted surfaces, wood flooring, etc. keep you engaged and entertained enough to plan who you're going to bring with you the next time that you return. Food and alcoholic beverages are available for purchase, and there are plenty of spots at each hole to set your adult drinks down and putt like the mini-golf master you are! Reservations are only needed for brunch. Children are allowed in until 5:00 p.m., afterwards it's 21 and older. To plan your trip to Hotel Greene, visit their website: https://www.hotelgreene.com/

Pictured below are two of their mini-golf holes.
