Freddy Hill Farms

Being that it is the last week of summer, the boys and I have decided to live it up (read: minigolf a ton.) At first, they wanted to go to Tees again, but I suggested that we try somewhere else, so we took to the internet to look up reviews of a bunch of "family fun centers." Though Freddy Hill Farms is located in Lansdale, so it is a small journey and a toll road away, we decided that based on the website and the cheesy commercial we saw, that it would be worth it.
First off...this place was much more like the minigolf of my youth. It had all the kitsch and shoddy workmanship that I have been looking for (and it even throws in some history!). They have two courses there: the waterfall course and the Touring the USA course (we liked the USA one a little better because it featured a cave and cute names for all the holes...and it was way easier).
I was shocked when the price was lower than Tees (I would pay a couple extra dollars simply due to the fact that they have waterwheels and miniature shacks on the green!). AND when we played the second course, it only cost us ten dollars as a group. That's $2.50 per person! Can you tell I am still excited? Anyways, the boys liked it just as much, if not more than Tees and I definitely had more fun.

Final Say: While not perfect, this minigolf place is definitely nostalgic for grown-ups and fun for kids.
