A Hole-in-One for Family Entertainment
Golf N’ Stuff, located at 6503 E Tanque Verde Rd in Tucson, Arizona, consistently earns a solid 4.3-star rating and is a long-standing favorite for families and fun-seekers in the area. More than just a miniature golf course, Golf N' Stuff offers a surprising array of activities. Currently, a round of miniature golf runs $15 per person (as of January 2025). But that’s just the beginning. Visitors also enjoy access to a large arcade, bumper boats (though recent reports note the water condition), and a go-kart track. Even an outdoor laser tag arena is available, adding to the excitement!
Many reviewers highlight the course’s charm, describing it as beautifully maintained, "an oasis" with mature willow trees, fountains, and even a fish-filled river running alongside the greens. The unique, cottage-like designs of the course features further enhance the experience. Golf N’ Stuff is fully equipped to accommodate all guests, and provides:
- Wheelchair accessible entrance, parking, and restrooms.
- Active military discounts
- Family-friendly and LGBTQ+ inclusive environment.
- Onsite services and payment options including credit, debit, and NFC mobile payments
Course Condition and Gameplay Experience
While widely praised, Golf N' Stuff isn’t without its quirks. Several visitors mention the course is “a little tired looking" in places, with some holes showing signs of wear and tear – specifically, missing pieces from the starting pads. However, a majority agree that this doesn’t significantly detract from the overall enjoyment. The course layout itself is considered challenging enough to be fun, particularly when illuminated at night.
Gameplay flows reasonably well, with a typical group of four able to complete one of the two courses in under two hours, even during busier times. Patience may occasionally be required, as it can get crowded, leading to short waits between holes, but the popularity speaks volumes about the quality of the experience. One golfer even reported an incredible game with two holes-in-one!
Here's a quick summary based on reviewer feedback:
Feature | Rating | Notes |
---|---|---|
Course Condition | Moderate | Some areas show wear, but generally good |
Challenge Level | Moderate-High | Enjoyable for all skill levels |
Crowds | Moderate-High | Can get busy, potential for short waits |
Night Play | Excellent | Enhanced atmosphere with lighting |
Beyond the Putt: Arcade, Amenities and Staff
Golf N’ Stuff boasts a sizable arcade with a diverse range of games catering to all ages and nostalgic tastes. Prices range from $0.25 to $1.25 per game, with several millennials particularly enjoying the retro pricing on older machines. However, some users reported occasional game glitches and slow ticket dispensing, although staff were reportedly quick to resolve these issues.
A snack bar offers basic refreshments, like pretzels and icees, which have received positive feedback. The facility also includes restrooms and Wi-Fi. But a recurring topic of discussion involves cleanliness. While generally acceptable, some visitors noted grittiness in the laser arcade's shoe-removal area and questionable water quality in the bumper boat pool.
A consistent highlight throughout the reviews? The exceptional staff. Reviewers repeatedly praised employees like Matt, Vince, and Chris for their personable and helpful attitude, significantly enhancing the overall experience.
Value and Family Considerations
At $14.75 per person, the cost of mini golf is considered reasonable by some, while others find it slightly overpriced. Children under three play for free, making it an economical option for families with very young children. Weekend passes are available for the arcade, offering extended play for a set price; however, some reviewers found even the longer passes provided more time than needed.
Ultimately, Golf N' Stuff presents a robust entertainment package, especially for families looking for a variety of activities in one location. It's a place to create memories, enjoy friendly competition, and potentially discover a hidden talent for miniature golf – or just have a really fun time! Phone: (520) 296-2366.
