To say this course \"has seen better days\" isn't fair to the term better days. This is course is the Road Kill of Miniature Golf. Apparently the recession is taking its toll on Tempe's Family Fun Park.\n\nThe grievances? Torn up (or completely missing) turf, broken obstacles, ants aplenty, dried up fake river beds... and a partridge in a pair tree! (Actually a pear tree would have been a welcome distraction but no way it survives with this lack of upkeep)\n\nI remember going here on a date in the 90s and losing a ball in the water. Today the only balls getting lost are the batting cage balls, some of which fly through the shoddy safety netting! (I wish I could make this stuff up)\n\nThere are plenty of other distractions at this park (arcade games, batting cages, driving range, bumper boats) --- but if the upkeep is as shoddy as the mini golf course, I'd stay far, far away."^^ .
