Now, I don’t know much about golf but I do know how to have fun with my kids.  A few weeks ago, I got together a big crew of friends and we stopped over at Miss Wende’s Adventure Golf for a round of mini golf before lunch.  It was a windy day, but we were ready to brave the elements and enjoy our time together.  We broke off into teams of four to challenge the course of 18 holes.  Miss Wende gave us each our own coloured ball so that we could remember which was ours – whew!  We staggered our starting points around the course, so that the whole group wasn’t waiting for my kids to golf before they could get a turn, and away we went.

Let me just throw it out there, again, that I’m totally not a golf pro, not by any stretch of the imagination… I can’t even pretend to golf.  But, I sure did have a great time!  It was hilarious to watch my son’s hockey stance and my daughter’s antics. I’m pretty sure that my four-year-old did better than I did.  But, I’m okay with that.

Miss Wende’s Mini Golf was a great way to spend an hour and a bit.  Outside in the sunshine, enjoying laughter with friends and family… trying desperately to get the orange little ball into the hold by hitting it with the lumpy stick.  I would definitely recommend it as a great little outing with friends and family.  The course is very well kept.  It’s a quaint little place to be.  The pond in the middle, the bridge and the castle scenery made me feel like I was in a fairytale.  My daughter (the “princess”) loved that part, too!  The holes were challenging and entertaining, each with hand-painted signs and fun names like “The Dragonfly” and “Miss Wende’s Castle”.

I think that my 2 year-old daughter was too young to play.  I’m pretty sure that other 2 year-olds could play and enjoy it, but it wasn’t quite within her ability to focus.

Maybe… if I had brought snacks??  Miss Wende’s Adventure Golf has a lovely little picnic spot to use for picnics and birthday parties.  The view from the picnic table is very peaceful, as well.

In May, Miss Wende’s is open on Saturdays from 11am to 8pm and Sundays 11am to 5pm.  You can check out her facebook page, here. Also, you can contact Miss Wende at 250-819-7622
