It's a Friday night, do you have any plans? For me, I did not. But I wanted to make plans! Keep in mind this place is 21+ so you can't bring liabilities (aka anyone younger than 21).
I made a reservation for my cousins and I earlier that day. It was less than a 6 hour notice, and I was able to get in a 10:50PM reservation. I could have booked an earlier reservation at 9:10PM, but we have girlies who work.
Parking in downtown make you sick? Honestly same. Surprisingly, I was able to find parking on 2nd ave when you turn left from Washington St. Considering it was Friday night, the clubs were just getting started and the baseball game had just ended, I could not believe how fast I found parking. I wish this to be true anytime I go to downtown. But back to more important notes. Parking can be shitty. I do recommend going a bit early to anticipate making circles.
For the place itself, it blends in well with the rest of the area. The door is next to this pizzaria, which is so cute! I'd watch your step as you enter because it's underground! I mean, what do you expect. It's pioneer square, iykyk. As you walk in, it's loud. I mean as a new adult trying to navigate back into society after restrictions and limitations, I was a little overstimulated. We were not greeted with anyone in the front for ID checks. But they did check my ID for drinks and reservation (for those thinking you can get in like that forreal). You have to go down the first set of stairs to an even lowered area where the mini golf is. I tried checking in 20 minutes before my scheduled time, but there was a waitlist of people who could go if another party didn't show up. We went up to the main floor once you enter. We got a couple drinks. They're 1/2 off your first drink, you gotta download the app though. It was enough time to drink my cider and drink my cousin's cider to have a happy fun time.
We had to actually check in with the guy downstairs. He checks you in and shows you where the clubs are. He will be the one to give you your balls. He gave my cousins and I the same color of the Philippines flag. You think he knew I am Filipino? Or coincidence?
Going through the courses were fun! If you're not familiar with Golf, this is a wonderful introduction. If you are, it's also fun for you. I would say the first hole is hella hard. Did I do more than 8 chances? Maybe. The course spells out SEATTLE, which is adorable. The last hole you get one chance in order for them to collect their balls. They also leave a caddy next to the hole for you to put your club. There are activities in the rooms around the course while you wait, or as you finish. You can also host parties, or groups as some of the rooms are big enough with a table and chairs.
Overall, my experience, atmosphere, and price (which was $8 per person), definitely a 4/5!!!! I just wish it was a little longer and more time between groups. We were waiting 5-10 minutes because it was only 3 of us in our group and the two groups ahead of us had 5 people (which is the max)
