Pros 
Cons A Quirky Putt-Putt Paradise or Overpriced Plywood?
Another Round, located in West Dallas at 660 Fort Worth Ave Suite 100, is making waves – and eliciting strong opinions – within the Dallas miniature golf scene. Currently boasting a 4.5-star rating, the venue aims for an "innovative and quirky" experience, and customer feedback suggests the reality is…complex. Many praise the atmosphere and unique course design, while others express disappointment with the execution and value.
Several reviewers emphasize the fun factor, especially for families. One patron shared a delightful experience taking their niece, gushing about the outdoor yard games available beyond the golf itself. Another highlighted its suitability for a group date, mentioning the cocktail options and karaoke that become appealing when the Texas heat kicks in. A couple's package, including all-day putting, drink pairings, and the ability to customize golf balls, appears to be a popular draw. Accessibility is also a plus, with wheelchair-accessible entrances, parking, and restrooms readily available.
However, the inventive spirit doesn't seem to translate to universal admiration regarding the course itself.
Course Design: Hit or Miss?
The major point of contention centers around the actual mini golf course. While some find the obstacles “challenging, fun, and unique,” others feel the design falls significantly short. One reviewer painted a rather harsh picture, comparing the construction quality to a child’s DIY project using “plywood, construction felt, playground rubber, and emergency blankets.”
The issue isn’t necessarily difficulty (some even note it's too easy), but rather a lack of polish and perceived laziness in the construction. Complaints include:
- Short Holes: Several people found the holes to be too short and lacking in complexity.
- Lack of Boundaries: Concerns were raised about absent or inadequate out-of-bounds guards, leading to balls frequently rolling into adjacent areas. The minimal tee pads also struggle to keep balls in place.
- Simple Design: A single hole being “literally just going around a corner” illustrates the perceived lack of creativity.
- Bottlenecks: One review acknowledges a fun course, but advises “patience” due to bottlenecks forming at certain holes.
| Feature | Positive Feedback | Negative Feedback |
|---|---|---|
| Design | Innovative, quirky, unique obstacles | Lazy, simple, lacks creativity |
| Difficulty | Challenging for all levels | Too easy |
| Hole Length | N/A | Short, lacking complexity |
| Boundaries | N/A | Insufficient, balls roll frequently |
Beyond the Putt: Amenities & Vibe
Despite the divided opinions on the course, Another Round’s broader appeal appears strong. The venue cultivates a welcoming atmosphere, explicitly described as "family-friendly" and "LGBTQ+ friendly." A fully stocked bar and dedicated lounging area enhance the experience. Customer service consistently receives positive mentions, contributing to the overall vibe.
Crucially, the wider array of entertainment options seems to mitigate some negative comments about the golf itself. The outdoor games – pickleball and cornhole are specifically called out – provide an alternative activity, which one reviewer suggested could make it a “great place to hang out.” The venue is equipped to handle events, though one experience involved significant delays and cold food, which should be a cautionary tale for event planners. NFC mobile payments, credit, and debit cards are all accepted, offering convenient payment options.
Here's a quick look at some of the amenities:
- Onsite Services: Yes
- Restroom: Yes
- Free Parking Lot: Yes
- Wheelchair Accessibility: Comprehensive (entrance, parking, restroom)
Pricing & Overall Value: Is It Worth Another Round?
The cost of play is a frequently cited concern. At $30 for two people to play one course, several reviewers felt the price point wasn’t justified given the quality of the experience. One person stated they "couldn't imagine paying double that for both courses.”
This sentiment aligns with the criticisms of the course design, where the perception of a lack of effort creates a disconnect between price and perceived value. While the additional entertainment options and bar service offer extra value, they may not be sufficient for everyone.
One review specifically highlights wishing for the business to succeed, but underscores the need for improvements in creativity and design to justify the cost. Another review succinctly stated disappointment related to board games having missing or broken pieces. Contact Another Round at (214) 233-6316 for current pricing and event booking information.
