This was a suggestion for a get together with close friends. We're all over 60 years old.
I can't comment on the food, because we didn't order anything to eat.
This is the most unique mini-golf that I've ever been to! There's a really great fictional backstory to the hotel, that's definitely worth reading, on their website. It's a fun story!
Hotel Greene is inside the old John Marshall Hotel, in Richmond, which was built in 1929, and was one of the grand hotels of it's age. One of my friends told me her parents had their wedding reception there many decades ago. The hotel was closed in 2004, and later converted to upscale apartments in 2011. Hotel Greene was born in 2019.
The miniature golf has 13 holes and takes about 45 minutes. Keep in mind that after 5 pm Hotel Greene is 21+ ONLY.
Do you need reservations? They are walk-in only, except for brunch hours on Saturday and Sunday (10am-2pm). You can go to their website to make reservations. If you do not want to eat brunch, you can still reserve and opt out on arrival, which is what we did.
The actual playing is a TON of fun! In one of the holes, you're hitting the ball down a hallway and trying to bank the golf ball into an open hotel room. On the 13th hole, if you can get a hole-in-one, you get a t-shirt. It's NOT easy! The staff told me they give away anywhere from zero to 4 shirts a day.
I do have some complaints! We did during the summer. This area is NOT air conditioned well, and got unbelievably hot. I can't believe they would not take care of this! Also, some areas are VERY dark, some spotlights are out, and again, it's surprising that they don't spend a few dollars to replace the bulbs, and actually install additional lighting.
My other issue was the servers who were bringing us drinks. I've never seen more unhappy people. These young women looked like being there was THE last place they wanted to be. My opinion is that if you don't like the job, quit, otherwise be pleasant and smile because you're the face of the company and are paid to help ensure the customers will return.
On the flip side, the folks at the front desk were incredibly helpful, smiling, friendly, helpful, and professional!
As of the date of this review, a round of mini-golf cost $16.
Edited to add:
I forgot to add that there is street parking but be VERY careful where you park. Pay attention to the signs because I thought I parked in a legitimate space, but ended up with a $60 parking ticket!
