Is Scary Strokes "Scary"?

​

Not for most. Our themeing was designed to be a FUN and "All Ages Appropriate" attraction. All of our wall murals, ghosts, ghouls, and monsters were done in a cartoon like presentation. If you have any questions on if Scary Strokes may be too scary for your young golfer, feel free to come visit us and take a look around first.  

​

Does it cost to come inside and check out?

​

NO! Everyone is welcomed to come visit us at their convenience during normal operating hours. You only pay for the activities you choose to do. 

​

How long does it take to play a round of golf?

 

We have 18 holes of Black Light golf set on approximately 5000 sq. feet. It typically takes 35 - 60 minutes depending on speed of play, skill levels, and size of group. 

 

​

Can I schedule a tee time?

 

We no longer require or offer online reservations. All tee times are based on a first come, first serve basis. Please note however, that Birthday Parties and other Group events do take priority. 

 

 

Do I have to pay to walk through and watch my kids play or just to see the course?

 

Scary Strokes is a great family venue and we encourage the adults to play with the kids (they grow up fast). That said, Scary Strokes has a $3.75 Attraction fee. This Admission fee is required for anyone that wants to accompany golfers on the course but not play or to simply walk through our amazing one of a kind artistic golf course.  All persons under 17 years of age must be supervised by an adult.

 

 

What is an appropriate age to play the miniature golf course?

 

Black light miniature golf is fun for all ages but we recommend ages 4 years or older.

How many guests can I invite?

 

 

That is up to you. We just need to know approximately how many guests you are expecting so that we can staff appropriately. Some of our specialized party packages do have maximum limits which enable our Party Pros 100% interaction with the entire party.

 

 

Is the birthday child included in the number of kids for a birthday package?

 

Yes.

 

 

 

Is there an additional charge for siblings? 

 

Any sibling that participates in the party will be counted as part of the party.

 

 

 

What time should my guest and I arrive at the party?

 

We ask that your guests arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your scheduled party time to allow time for your party pro to get groups together and go over rules of play with your guests. Parties start playing the miniature golf typically 10-15 minutes after the scheduled party time to allow ample time for guests to arrive.

 

 

 

Does the party pro accompany us on the golf course?

 

Yes.  Your party pro will interact with all the attendees during the ENTIRE party and manage the flow of play. For larger parties, at our discretion, we may provide a party runner to help out.

 

 

 

What does the party pro do?

 

In addition to accompanying the party on the golf course, your party pro will set up your party area, serve pizza, drinks, and cake/cupcakes; help with opening gifts; and clean up after your party so that you can relax and enjoy the experience! That's not all! Our Party Pros will entertain the party guests with their own unique talents and provide that VIP treatment your child deserves on their special day. You're not just booking a room at Scary Strokes, you're booking an event! 

 

 

 

Can I use my own decorations and/or paper products for the party?

Should you decide to use your own theme products, deliver them to us any time before your party time and we'll set everything up prior to your guests arrival.

NOTHING! We provide plates, utensils, food, drinks etc.. Cakes are permitted if you wish to bring a birthday cake.
