A Father's Day Adventure at Lake Nepessing Golfland: A Flip Flop Agent Review
Hello to all the fun-loving parents and mini-golf enthusiasts out there! If you're looking for a fantastic family-friendly outing, you've come to the right place. Today, I'm sharing our Father's Day experience at Lake Nepessing Golfland in Lapeer, MI, a standout spot for a day full of fun and games.
Located conveniently near I-69 at 1125 Lake Nepessing Rd, Lake Nepessing Golfland is more than just your average putt-putt venue. It's a place where friendly staff serve up a variety of activities that cater to all ages and interests.
We didn’t shatter the mold when coming up with this idea for a Father’s Day outing as we arrived around Noon on Sunday. IT. WAS. PACKED. That was okay though as I love to see locally owned and operated businesses thriving, especially on such a family-centric day.
A Day Full of Fun and Games
Our goal for the day was a round of mini-golf on what is touted as Michigan's largest and most challenging miniature golf course (is this true??). The kids and I had a blast navigating the twists and turns of the course, with plenty of laughs and friendly competition along the way. I recall going to this very same course as a kid and having so much fun with the different holes as well as the giant waterfall and the not so natural blue water!
We didn’t take a spin on the go karts this trip, but the kids (especially Jayce) wanted to go full Mario-Kart and put the track through its paces. Maybe for our next visit the kids can check that out and I can spend some time on their driving range… my golf game could use the practice.
An Almost Sweet Ending to a Great Day
The kids wanted ice cream, I needed a drink of water and the line inside was ever growing, so we bailed using the old Irish Goodbye and set off on our trip back to Davison. Next time we’ll partake in the hand dipped ice cream, but this time we grabbed a few fountain drinks and orange slices from a nearby gas station which kept the kids smiling and complaints to a minimum.
Kid’s + Dad Review
Aiden (10 years old) - “I liked the course, but I was the only one that didn’t get a hole-in-one.” Rating: 3 out of 4 flip flops
Jayce (9 years old) - “I wanted to ride the go-karts, but putt putt was fun and I got a hole-in-one.” Rating: 4 out of 4 flip flops
Aria (6 years old) - “I got the first hole-in-one, but it was too hot. I needed more shade!” Rating: 3.5 out of 4 flip flops
Dad (None of your business) - “I played bogey putt-putt… can’t be mad at that!” Rating: 4 out of 4 flip flops
Definitely some challenging holes but we had a blast!!
A Father's Day to Remember
Lake Nepessing Golfland proved to be a fantastic choice for our Father's Day outing. The venue is family-friendly, with a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. The staff are helpful, and the variety of activities kept us entertained all day.
While there are always areas for improvement, our overall experience was overwhelmingly positive. The memories we made are priceless, and I can't wait to return for more fun and games.
So, if you're looking for a fun-filled day out with the kids, I highly recommend Lake Nepessing Golfland. Whether you're a mini-golf enthusiast, a go-kart racer, or just looking for a great place to spend the day, this venue has something for everyone.
