Pros 
Cons A Hole-in-One Experience: Course Design & Atmosphere
Putt'n Around in Delray Beach consistently earns high praise, currently boasting a 4.7-star rating, and it’s easy to see why. Reviewers consistently highlight the creative and classic design of the miniature golf courses. One visitor raves about the Everglades course, appreciating the thoughtfully crafted setups and effective lighting for nighttime play. The course’s ability to offer two distinct courses – allowing for a calmer, more paced experience – is frequently mentioned as a positive.
However, not all opinions are universally glowing. Some patrons felt the courses were “just okay”, citing signs of wear and tear and even suggesting a need for renovation. Specifically, one review pointed out that a few holes felt unfairly prone to sending balls into the water. Despite this, the majority find the ambiance enjoyable, particularly when seasonally decorated. The dazzling Christmas lights, wrapping trees and illuminating the entire course, create a truly festive atmosphere, with one reviewer suggesting the lobby's Christmas setup is perfect for a family photo op.
Here’s a quick snapshot of what people are saying about the overall design:
| Feature | Positive Feedback | Areas for Improvement |
|---|---|---|
| Course Design | Creative, Classic, Well-lit | Some holes feel unfair |
| Atmosphere | Festive (especially Christmas) | General upkeep needed |
| Course Variety | Two course options available | N/A |

Party Central: Event Experiences
Putt'n Around isn’t just a great spot for a casual outing; it's a popular choice for birthday parties and other events. One parent shared a particularly positive experience hosting a 6th birthday party, specifically praising the event coordinator, Kaylee, for her responsiveness, professionalism, and organization. Maria, who assisted on the day of the party, also received high marks for her helpfulness.
The venue appears to be flexible – one parent brought their own decorations for a Viking and Dragon themed party, while noting the venue also offers its own decor options for simpler events. This adaptability makes it a versatile choice for various celebration styles. It's important to note, however, that the positive event experience seems to hinge on the quality of staff encountered, so requesting assistance from skilled coordinators like Kaylee and Maria may be beneficial.
