Our review of the course is up now! This newer Harris designed & built course is solid and a fantastic addition to the area.

Mr. Tee’s fondness for Ball Fore Miniature Golf co Mr. Tee’s fondness for Ball Fore Miniature Golf comes through in the new review on the site. This baseball themed course south of downtown Chicago with alternating red, blue, and green turf and a customized muffler man at the entrance stands out amongst this style of course. As you can see in the review, Tom’s personal affection comes from a great experience in a tournament. Enjoy and more reviews to come soon!

Mr. Tee with an EGG-citing new review! Egg Harbor Mr. Tee with an EGG-citing new review! Egg Harbor Fun Park’s multi-colored surfaces and classic obstacles make it a solid mini golf option in the center of Door County, Wisconsin. A pleasant spot that is only slightly marred by those pesky metal-rimmed cups. A few classic features and a variety of game play more than make up it!
