$7.50 for kids and $9.50 for adults. Lots of fun and challenging holes on the Mini Haunts course. The other course was closed for painting when we were there. Lots of golfers out practicing on the driving range as well! Late afternoon was a good time to come.

Fun place to golf or practice golf. Good driving range. You can use range balls to practice driving or chipping. Two mini golf courses for all ages. Pro shop to buy equipment or golf balls. Vending machines for a drink or snacks. Nice 18 hole golf course with sand traps and water hazards. Only $17.00 a round for seniors. Get your practice done here before you get on an expensive course!

Lots of leaves on the mini-golf course, most of the water traps were dry, and the ones with water were quite gross. Had fun though it could have been better.

Super fun golf! The 18 hole Halloween course is really fun and great for kids. Been here twice and plan to go in the future. The ultimate course looks cool but I haven’t been on it. Thank you guys so much!

The course is dangerous. I was constantly ducking and was almost hit multiple times from neighboring holes. There are no defined fairways, the grass is cut the same throughout the entire course so its difficult to know where youre headed. Signage for the course is poor and its difficult to know where the next tee box is. For a short course, the pace of play was worse than your typical nine hole course. Dont expect grass its all weeds. I would go somewhere else. The only thing good about this place is the mini golf course which is the only reason it gets two stars instead of only one.

Mini golf is nice. Needs some improvements done. Was a beautiful day, very busy. Did enjoy ourselves.

This is a great place for mini golf. They do however offer other golf services if your looking to practice your swing and has a full golf course. For my family we only use the mini golf. They have two different courses for mini golf. One has fun sculptures and signs more for younger kids. The other one is more like a mini golf course for the older kids and adults. My family has played on both and are both fun. Rentals are at a great price. They do offer adult drinks, regular drinks and snacks. They keep everything well taken care of and staff is very friendly. I highly recommend!

LOVE this course! Its a great deal to play both mini golf courses. I highly recommend doing both. Well maintained, difficult holes but still tons of fun. The mini haunts course was really cute as far as decor and the famous holes course was fun for a more realistic golfing experience. With a driving range and actual golf course at the same location, Smileys has something for everyone!

As a beginner golfer, I really appreciate the friendly and comfortable atmosphere Smileys provides. I highly recommend the driving range to those who are looking to improve but might be nervous to get back out there. Really love this place!

Super fun and challenging course for mini putt. Lots of trees and shade on the beginners side too. Thought the woman working the counter was lying to us which side was the beginners, nope! Bring your A game youre gonna need it!

Review №11

Nicely laid out mini golf courses at a reasonable price. The easy course is just challenging enough to be fun. The hard course will provide plenty of challenges for even avid mini golfers. would be a 4 star, but both courses need some TLC. Turf is worn out in lots of spots, walls are wearing out, and a wood bridge is starting to feel a little spongy.

I took a series of lessons with Mike at Smileys. He was an excellent teacher. Id recommend him to both beginners and experienced golfers who want tips to better their game. I am a better golfer thanks to Mike!

One of the best practice facilities in the metro area for sure. Nice 18 hole par 3 course, with a few par 4s mixed in so you can hit driver. Also, very affordable. I always have fun at Smileys! As long as Im playing golf Im having fun!😁🏌🏻‍♂️⛳

Small golf course. Most holes are par 3. Decently kept, although there are weeds in the fairways. Overall pretty good.

Took a family adventure to go miniature golfing. This place has two options, but a simple kid one for a more advanced difficult. We opted for the difficult one and had a blast.

Review №17

Golf and golf and golf. For the price, I like it. They have a nice driving range. Friendly staff. I’ve played the course a few times. The course gets hard in the drier months. They have two mini golfs. One is almost too hard to play, the other is great for families with small kids. It’s a low key place and not many other amenities. If you don’t need frills to golf, check it out.

Ive only played the par-3 course and used the driving range so I cant comment on the mini-golf. I would give 5 stars if the greens were in better shape but for the cost you cant ask for much more. Always fun playing and one positive of it being so busy lately is that you get to meet new people while playing. The all access pass is definitely worth it in my opinion.

We did the Mini Haunts course with a group of 4 adults and found it to be plenty challenging and fun. It took us about 2 hours to get through the course. Reasonably priced, well-maintained, and they have a good variety of beers and seltzers which are also very reasonably priced. Golf clubs and balls were sanitized before they were given to us and we deposited them in a bin for cleaning once we were done. Overall a pretty great outdoor activity if you are looking for a good way to get out of the house during our current quarantine summer.

Social distancing while golfing. Works for me. Lots of kids and parents wearing masks on the putt putt course and having fun. The walking 9 hole course is vigorous exercise.

First experience here...trying to get back in the saddle after spinal surgery. I needed to sit periodically at the driving range so I asked for a chair so I could sit while my friends hit...the uncaring man said we dont give chairs and walked off before I could explain.Rude.

I like this place, but recently the greens have been extremely soft (so very bumpy on putts, impossible to make even the simplest of putts). For the price I suppose its what you get, very good value for sure here.

Ive now played both sides of the mini golf. The adult side is appropriately challenging. The kids side has a couple of pretty tough holes. But its well-maintained, and a good atmosphere. And it doesnt break the bank.

Review №47

Smileys is a great beginner level course or occasional player course. Most holes are easy (hole 6 has a hard green, hole 9 makes you clear a lake). Greens are good early season but take a beating. Its cheap so you get what you pay for, dont expect Augusta. Putt putt looks fun, driving range is pretty good. Best golf deal in KC.

Very fun! When we first pulled up I wasnt very impressed. Im used to the miniature golf courses at Lake of the Ozarks. But it did not disappoint! We had a very good time! And after your first 18 holes you can play again immediately for only $2.50 per person.

It was so much fun! First round is 9.99 per person. Second is 2.50. They dont have concessions but they do have vending machines. It is also a popular place so be prepared for lots of families. They also sell cans of beer.

Review №51

I grew up coming to Smileys, both at this location and the older 87th location for miniature golf, and later as a teenager and adult for the par 3 course and driving range. The driving range itself is worth the trip: grass tees 7 days a week, and a well-lit practice green. I live on the East Coast these days, and I struggle to find as nice a range... let alone one with mini golf and an 18-hole par-3 course. I should also mention that I really got a lot out of the lessons I took here.

Review №52

Paid $17 to play mini golf with my 5 year old. After one hole on torn up greens, a teenager came out with a gas leaf blower and blasted it behind us the entire time. We couldn’t even talk and had to smell gas fumes through the whole course. This in spite of the fact that there were no leafs to blow, no one else playing, and they had just opened on a Sunday - they could have easily waited a bit or did it before the opened.I told the manager after and he blamed it on the teenager and said he already talked to him about it. Which means that he saw it happening and sat on his butt rather than tell the kid to stop for a bit. It’s also pretty sad when a middle-aged man pushes the blame on a kid - you are a manager, so MANAGE the kids working for you.He made no apology nor any offer to fix it alike a free game in the future or anything. The vibe was “Whatever. Not my fault. I already have your money.”Would give 0 stars if I could. Much better mini golf courses nearby.

Surprised my husband with this sweet find. We did the kiddy side was so much fun. For $2.50 more to finish the advanced side. Really worth it. :)

Well kept greens and clearly marked tee boxes. Great for a laid back casual round of golf. Be wary of snakes near the water hazards. Plenty of shade if you need to wait for a tee. Friendly staff.

Smileys Golf Complex is a nice place for golfers to go and play some golf, or use the driving range. They also have 2 very nice miniature golf courses. One of my older brothers and I have gone there and played some miniature golf. A fun place to go to.

Review №61

If you live in the area, its a fine place to golf & take your kids for Mini Golf. But it is not worth a long drive to visit. The Mini Golf needs a major upkeep. If the owner would invest in the update Im sure more families would visit. I was looking for a fun activity with my kids. Too long of a drive for a disappointing venue.

Review №62

For $30 (two adults and two small kids), youd think youd get a better mini-golf experience. The holes are fairly unimaginative - after the first three holes, they just start repeating the same features and gimmicks. The obstacles are macabre and creepy. There are no water features: even though they have ponds and moats, theyre all bone-dry.

Review №68

Driving range was good, fair price at 10 dollars for a jumbo bucket, I also played 18 on their 60 par course. The course was confusing to find the next hole at times, but the greens were well cared for. This course is also walk only but they have pull carts.

I never even realized that there was a mini golf place in kansas that wasnt in kansas city since the great mall closed. This one was a great price and plenty of fun with multiple courses to choose from. Definitely more challenging than I had planned, but still really fun.

Review №82

Enjoyable minigolf course with an always friendly staff. On the minigolf courses, fairly recently had the turf redone on the south course which is a harder more fun course for older visitors/adults. The north course is great for younger children as its completely flat with corners and fun things to hit through and around. My wife and I will continue to make this our primary minigolf spot.

Good course for beginners and young kids just learning golf. Mini golf is okay, not in very good shape most of the time. Very large driving range is one of the better in the area for sure.

We went as a family to play miniature golf. The courses were fairly rough and needed some work. More than half of the water features were empty and the ones that were, were green and nasty. With some repair and general maintenance, this could be a fun place to return to.
