marvin road golf and batting range

I had posted a review a few years ago, but noticed it has disappeared. Was it because I gave this establishment a terrible review? I have seen at least two other poor/terrible reviews, and noticed they too have disappeared. Not sure why. So, trying to follow the TripAdvisor guidelines, I will attempt to write another review:The way my under-aged son was treated was horrifying and inexcusable. I was extremely disappointed as to how they handled a simple misunderstanding when my son accidentally put a token in the wrong slot. He went to explain what happened, but was taken aback when the woman cursed at him and accused him of "scamming" her. My son is an extremely well-spoken, responsible young man who wanted to work on improving his batting. The fact that my son tried to give back $2.25 should have told them that he was being honest. When I called to speak with the owner, he became very defensive and hung up on me.

Our 6 year old gran twins had a great time playin golf, especially around the water hazards. Some work is needed on the edges of several holes. Very friendly staff.

This is a great driving range close enuf to reach easily from I-5 or the nearby housing areas. I addition to the driving range, they have a chipping section as well as a green for putting. Also available at this location are batting cages with several speeds available and a mini-putt-putt course that kids will love.

Our grand-kids came to visit one weekend and they seemed just a bit restless. We figured we'd get them outside and away from TV, cartoons and game box time wasters. We don't wanna!! Waaah waaah ... drove to the range, and while waiting our tee-time, they were entertained watching the owner drive a ball down range ... his dog retrieved the exact same ball from all those out there - they were impressed!! Then came our tee-time and two grumpy kids stepped up to the mini-golf course and proceeded to have a wonderful 'we want to go back' time! The grounds are well kept, staff are personable, helpful and available for guidance and advice. We went again after that to the batting cage - great exercise! Thanks we'll come again!

The staff is great and we are glad to have this facility minutes away from our home, but the ambiance is missing. Its like a putt-putt golf course landed in the middle of an industrial park. The prices are good. I used to use the slow pitch softball batting cages frequently, but last time I checked they had changed them. There are several slow pitch leagues around and it was the only place to get batting practice. Bring back the slow pitch!

We were visiting family and wanted to go have some fun as we like to play mini golf around America. It was a very well laid course and the green were well tendered. Great time had by all!!

This is the only outdoor miniature golf location in Olympia and the kids wanted to go, so off we went on a cloudy cold Spring Break midweek day. The putt putt golf course doesn't have any of the cute little structures and traps that most kids like. It is a fine course and well-maintained with nice water features, but somewhat uninteresting for the smaller set. This is our second time there and again we were the only customers. I found the staff, specially the older woman at the counter, unfriendly and unwelcoming. Our first time there about a year ago. Being the ONLY customers, I let the kids (ages 6 and 3) repeat some of the holes. The woman came out and told us that it was one time through only. Really, lady? They should have been happy with any paying customers at all ($6.50 per person). This time she asked if the 4 year old was "going to be running around" Next time I think we'll drive towards Tacoma and find a more fun and welcoming miniature golf course.
