If you are looking for something fun to do with your friends, Elkton Golf and Batting Center is a bit under par.

My brother and I went to Elkton Golf and Batting Center around 11 a.m. on a Saturday morning. We were expecting it not to be overly crowded since it was so early. However, we thought that a few people would be there because it was such a nice day. It turns out that we were the only customers in the entire place.

The course itself was 18 holes, but it looked as if it could only be about nine holes in size. Unlike most mini golf courses, there were no windmills, no water hazards, and as a matter of fact, nothing fun at all. The course offered only a few dips and bumps in the greens and a few wooden obstacles.

Most of the holes merely had one dip that was extremely easy to avoid. There was, however, one hazard on the course that was somewhat exciting. On the eleventh hole there was a giant anchor that you had to avoid hitting. Besides that, the course was lacking in creativity. There was no theme to the golf course either such as a fish or pirate theme often seen at mini golf courses.

I’m no Tiger Woods when it comes to golf, but this course was way too easy. The par for every hole was 3, yet I got either a hole-in-one or a 2 on each one. My little brother, who was not amused with the course at all, and quite frankly disappointed that I’d brought him to an “unfun” golf course, was able to get four holes-in-one.

Despite the non-enjoyable course, the prices were reasonable. For an adult the cost was $5, and for a child, $4.

Although the mini golf course was lacking fun, Elkton Golf and Batting Center had other activities to offer. They had a driving range which seemed to be fairly decent. My dad has gone to it a few times and he said that it’s average. They also had batting cages, which seemed to be popular, as they were packed and even had a line.

Elkton Golf and Batting seems to me that it was a driving range and batting center, and the owners decided to add a mini golf course in hopes of attracting more business. Needless to say, my experience at Elkton Golf and Batting Center was not a fun one, and I don’t plan on going back.
