Golden Tee Golfland - Castro Valley, California

Timothy Wilson-Douglas

Golden Tee Golfland is a true treasure for anyone looking for a fantastic outing, whether you’re an avid mini-golfer or just in for a bit of arcade action. I recently visited with eight friends, and let me tell you, it was an absolute hoot! From the vibrant courses to the buzzing arcade, every moment was filled with laughter and friendly competition, making it a perfect spot for groups large and small.

Let’s start with the mini-golf. The courses are brilliantly designed, offering just the right mix of challenge and fun, ensuring that every hole is a delightful adventure. Our group’s experience was nothing short of a hootenanny of putts and cheers. Gabe managed to snag the first place with some slick moves, while I tied for second with Nick — both of us landed on a cool 60, even though I had a couple of defaults. But, honestly, those little mishaps just added to the fun, making every shot count and every miss a moment of laughter.

The arcade section was equally thrilling. Packed with classic and new games, it’s a paradise for anyone looking to relive their childhood or introduce their own kids to some joystick joy. We darted around from game to game, high-fiving victories and playfully ribbing the day’s less fortunate gamers. It was a hoot, and then some.

And can we talk about the atmosphere? Golden Tee Golfland isn’t just a place to swing clubs and score tickets; it’s a vibrant hub of joy, a perfect place for an owl-out fun time—see what I did there? Owls, wise creatures known for their nocturnal adventures, would surely approve of our evening’s escapades!

The staff at Golfland deserve a shout-out too. They were friendly and attentive, making sure our group was having a hoot every step of the way. Their service alone makes this place worth visiting.

In conclusion, if you’re looking for a spot that’s a hoot for friends and family alike, young and old, Golden Tee Golfland should be your next destination. It’s a place where fun and friendly competition meet in a fantastic setting. I couldn’t recommend it more; it’s a guaranteed hoot, and that’s something you can owl-ways count on. So grab your putters and your pals, and head over to Golden Tee Golfland for a day (or night!) you won’t soon forget.

Excellent place for family and kids or a date. There's free parking in the front that's close to the entrance. You can purchase the ticket online and get the arcade credits for 50 cents more. The 18 hole course on the right is easier and I would start on this side first. Once you're done with that, you can go to the left side for the other 18 hole course but they're more difficult for kids.

The courses were clean and organized. Everyone was polite and friendly when I was there. No one tried to jump ahead of you or rushing you to finish. I went on a saturaday with my family and there was around a few minutes wait for each hole which is not bad at all.

The arcade area has decent amount of games and relatively new. There are benches around the whole course so you can sit down while you wait or just watch the kids play but no shades in the area. The two courses should take around an hour to finish. Highly recommended for a fun weekend activity or hosting party.

Two options for mini-golf courses, one being more difficult than the other. A great way to spend the day! Right off the freeway, and plenty of parking.

The only reason I knocked a star off is bc the arcade systems they use. You go to play a game, but you have to use a prepaid card, and when you can it the system decides it needs to reboot. Or you win tokens, but you need to use one of the four or five machines to load your card - but which one is it?! Could it be... the one that's REBOOTING?!

Kinda frustrating, but the awesome air hockey table makes up for quite a bit of it. I guess I just miss the analog arcade experience

I had never played golf before. It was a lot of fun! I liked that it was like a quest. Each new track had its own level of difficulty. It was interesting. I think this place is just great for children. There are places where you can sit and wait for someone to finish their shot. There is also a place where you can hold a big event or birthday. Fun place. I recommend to visit. You can also not worry about the evening. I thought nothing would be visible after sunset. But their field is lit up.

Brought my 8yr old niece here who's visiting from out of state. She loved it! If we had more time we would've done both courses (my niece wanted to see the castle so badly) but we only got thru the adventure side. There's always a next time! After finishing the 18 holes we went into the arcade. Arcade area isn't super big but there was enough games and variety that my niece had lots of fun. I paid for our tickets online. $14.99 each for mini golf (one 18 hole game) and 25 arcade points. We spent about two hours here but could've stayed longer. Would be convenient if there was a food court. There is a soda machine and they sell drinks at the ticket counter too. We just brought our own water which was smart since it was really warm today. Don't forget to bring a hat of you're going during the day like we did (my niece wished she remembered hers). I definitely recommend this place especially for kids!

I had such a great time here! It was so much fun for date night or family night. It's great to play in the daytime. Even more beautiful to play at night.

I hadn't played miniature golf for a long time, but didn't remember it being this easy to hit the balls out of the course. We still had fun with our grandkids. They also enjoyed the arcade, but there is nowhere for us grown-ups to sit while they play.

I've been here a couple times for a friend's birthday, and we always have a good time. Definitely keep an eye on the rubber teeing mats, though; they're a little rough and can catch your putter if you're not careful.
