Definitely worth a trip to Dedham. The minigolf course is well maintained - (I didn't see one worn spot on the green) and well designed. The driving range has LOTS of spaces, so even when it's crowded, it's not crowded ;) The staff was even really pleasant. Highly recommended.

Nice golf range for beginners and advanced players alike. You pay to get a bucket of balls and practice your shots. It can accommodate probably up to 50 players at the same time and even though it looked full on a late Friday afternoon we still got a free lane without waiting. My coworkers brought clubs and you will need someone in your party to briny these to and to know what to do if everyone else is a complete beginner.

I sent management an email through their website citing how my 6 yr old daughter was stung by a nest of yellow jackets and they never responded. Not 5 minutes after her sting, the next group with a 9 year old boy got stung as well. The staff was disinterested and her first offering was a spent/warm ice pack. The yellow jackets built a nest on the backside of the aluminum railing near the rules at Hole 1 overlooking the pond. Price seemed fair, and mini golf layout had a challenging but creative design. Not sure if we'd return. Not hard for management to rectify this either. August 13 2019.

Balls in good shape, extremely busy - expect to wait a little on peak hours. They installed a new auto ball feeder system recently, which is somewhat cool in that it tracks your amount of balls hit, but that's about all it does so frankly it seems lime a waste of their money.

Took my boys, aged 7 and 4 years, for mini golf and they had a good time.

The 18-hole course is well-maintained and the staff is friendly and accommodating.

We reached Hole 4 when my youngest informed me he had to go to the bathroom. Thanks to sidewalks alongside each hole we didn't have to interrupt any other games as we backtracked. The staff member at the minigolf booth invited us to take our clubs and balls with us as we traveled to the bathroom (on the other side of the complex from minigolf). I'm grateful for them trusting us and not making it a hassle as we were in a HURRY to get to the restroom.

Upon arriving back at the course we just started over and didn't have anyone hassle us (again, much appreciated).

The course itself has a nice mix of hole types and features. Some holes have hills to go over or objects to go around or multiple levels. My youngest's favorite was a giant hill around the halfway point of the course. He loved putting and seeing the ball go flying down the incline.

Nice pond and water fountain in the middle of the course, with a nice waterfall feeding into it.

Worked out to about $2 / hole for me and my two boys. Not a bad value, actually, because with 18 holes we were minigolfing for at least 45 minutes (if not longer).

I've been to a ton of driving ranges, both public and private, and I've never been hit by another players ball while simply addressing my ball. This place is such a chaotic mess that they let little kids hit balls directly sideways and it only took 10 minutes of being there before I was hit directly in the back of the head.

The most bizarre part of it was that when I went to the shop to let them know there was a dangerous situation going on and that I was hit in the head, the response was "well did he mean to do it? If not, I don't know what to do". How does it matter if kids meant to hit people in the head with golf balls? If you allow that to go on your going to have people leaving in ambulances and lawsuits to deal with regardless of whether they meant to or not.

I would only use this range if you're prepared to wear a helmet.

Was definitely busy, the range itself isn't to bad, was a lot of balls on the field tho. $10 for 50 balls. But I did enjoy the automatic ball giver. Other than that no problem. Fun place to bring the kids or to just swing the club.

I have been a happy customer of McGolf for the past three years. Every experience I have had there has been positive, even when it wasn't. During one hot July day, I ventured out to eagerly work on my swing since quarantine. I got through all my irons and wedges, and started on my driver. I could feel my driver slipping with every hit, as my club grip is old and my glove was falling apart; but they were all good hits so I just kept a tight grip. I made it until the very last ball. I loaded it up, stanced, and swung my driver, making good contact with the ball. As I was tracking my ball, a split second later, I started tracking my driver out to the 50 yard line. Slipped right out of my sweaty palms. I asked the employees working if I, or the groundskeeper, could run and grab it; but to no avail. I was told they would pick it up at the end of the night, and I could get it back in the morning. Come two days later, I call asking if they picked it up, and the nice manager said she could not find the driver or the sock I gave to accompany it. I start to panic as I thought someone might have swiped it before the employees could get to it; but what had ended up happening was the groundskeeper placed it in a different spot, and I am on my way to pick up my driver and shoot some more (with chalk this time.) During the time I assumed my driver was gone, the owner of McGolf (Eric) called me personally on a rare off-day of his to assure that he would work with me, regardless if my driver was actually taken or not. McGolf has gained a lifetime customer today.

McGolf, the mini golf course saved the day! It's the perfect stop to pick up a few rounds on a nice day. Unfortunately the day we went, the waterfalls were not operating >:( and there were leaves all over the course.

But other than that, the courses were beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed putting about. Expect a line on the weekends though as it looks like a popular place. Also conveniently nearby is an ice cream shop. :)

Never been able to play. They have horrible hours, and the hours on Google and website/place don't agree. Mini golf only open until 8 (but really only 715 since you any start any later than that) even though driving ranges are open until 9. Just not convenient, which fine, is my own problem, but the guy doesn't have to be so darn rude about everything. Very bad attitude towards customers who were just looking for something to do on a Saturday night. (I've tried go go multiple times, and though I forgot the times and ran into this problem multiple times, he was rude every time, so I feel justified in this review). Guess I need to live somewhere else with more activities and nicer people

The good - place is clean and mats in good shape. The bad: I'm from the north shore and usually play at another all-season driving range to remain nameless. I was in the area and stopped by here and this place blows. Website says heated tees but nothing about having to pay extra for a token to turn the heat on. Smallish bucket for $8.50 (one size only). Heater only stays on for 15 minutes and doesn't put out much heat. You want more heat you'll have to pony up for another token

Great overall experience! High-tech practice facility that you can track every shot broken down by club. Better than a Top Golf and less expensive/shot if you are looking to improve your game. The founding family is still involved and their passion for the game is reflected in every employee. I've heard that the club fitting and indoor facility are also good and looking forward to that post COVID. Having recently moved to the area, I'm happy to have found this facility.

Golf simulators and heated driving range. Always my go-to driving range in winter and now they have golf simulators. Half of the driving range is covered overhead and clear-wall behind you so no pass through wind in winter. There are heaters overhead that cover you while on the mat and work enough to keep you comfortable. Last week was 32deg I had a thermal, T-shirt and enter vest with a beanie and was fine. Automatic re-tee of the ball with 4 heights. No need to bend over. Best part in the indoor simulator close to home. Living in Watertown we have to drive to Fore Golf in Westborough or Woburn, Ashland. This is close and they use an E6 simulator and is in pristine shape, well lit and well built. Will definitely be using the simulator often this winter. Can do a driving range session and get spin numbers, height and face angle/loft at impact. Very happy with simulators.

McGolf is the wildest driving range I have evwr experienced. There are crazy robots that feed the ball to you from underground. The place was so packed, but I felt so safe. I improved my iron game so well, then had the chance to use the "members only" green to work on my chipping game. But I am not a member. So thank you Mc Golf. I hit a 74 the next day. You guys rock. Love, Jon Lewis

To preface, my dear my friend and I had a fun time mini golfing. The price was decent and the staff was nice. We happen to see 2 drunk teenagers roaming the grounds, but we can t fault McGolf s for that. However, rather than mini golf, the experience could more aptly be described as small golf. The mini implies a fun tone to the golf, one envisions windmills, animal statues, and maybe a theme. Here, the most one can hope for is a silly shaped rock. The courses are small and barren, much like a midwestern field. If you are looking for a challenge, this is not the place for you.

Two other notes. We paid a dollar for fish food, in hopes we could feed a cute koy or two. Unfortunately, the pond looked as though it would not support any animal life, and no fish were seen. We did see a turtle, which was nice, but he did not eat our food. Lastly, our game was played over a friendly wager for a slushie from the snack shack. I bought the slushies, excited for a cool drink, only to be given a neon colored poor attempt at Italian Ice. Sad. Overall, a fine place with some room to grow. Three stars.

It's a nice place especially if you live around the area. The price is fairly cheap at 9 dollars and 4 to play again. I didn't get to try the food but it might be good. I think the biggest thing this course is missing is complexity, most of the holes are very simple and resemble each other. There are a couple that are a little more interesting with tunnels and optional shortcuts but there only a few of them. There can also be traffic in between holes but it's not too bad. Overall I think it's worth going and could be a great course if a little more complexity was added. The staff is chill, minimum interaction.

Descent place. The staff were really friendly and easy to talk to. The driving range is big and set up really nice. They have tons of lanes so even when it's busy, getting a spot isn't bad. They also have a descent mini golf course. My only feedback is there is large number of holes that are just regular putts. They could add a bit more to the course.

Overall the whole place is really clean and well kept. Defiantly going back here.

Fantastic facility that is as well-maintained as any driving range/mini golf you'll find anywhere locally. Our family played a round of mini golf, and the course was very well maintained. Holes were laid out in interesting ways and challenging. Landscaping was well-manicured and everything was clean. The turf was in excellent condition as well. The late hours and lighting are also a great feature. We'll definitely visit again!

Update: The new automatic ball feeders and golf tracing app is a nice update.

I used to love McGolf...now I just "like" them. The driving range facility is really nice and the covered bays are awesome. But about a year or two ago they increased the price per from $8.00 to $8.50 and they significantly reduced the size of the ball buckets... oh well. That's the economy for ya..
