5 reviews for Holes & Knolls Miniature Golf Course
Miniature golf has come along way from the days of the gaping clown face, and prehistoric dinosaur days (unless you are into the nostalgic stuff like I am). The grounds were immaculate and the greens were perfectly maintained, ok they are plastic of course they are perfect. Really though, this is a great miniature golf course for the cost ($6 per adult during the week). The water traps were great, although I'm still trying to figure out how they achieved that 'smurf-like' color of water.
That being said, I will certainly be returning and will bring some kiddos along with me. I noticed several play areas, and room for picnicking, across the parking lot that my friend's kids could get into. This would be a great place to meet up if you have little ones, or even if you don't it is certainly enjoyable. Although I still miss the clown heads...

My wife and I went and played a round here recently and had a pretty good time, the course is very nice, as others have mentioned there are actual flags on every hole. I was a little disappointed at the lack of obstacles (a lot of the holes are just twisted greens with nothing to really avoid), but overall it was a good time. The price is a little high, but not too much. ($7 pp on weekends)
Budget tip: The Glen Ellyn Park District website has coupons. Normally the weekend rate is $1 higher than on weekdays BUT... with the coupon you get that $1 off. Nice.
Went here with the fam, and it was a nice course. Tough at points, though I'm going to blame my terrible score on the wind! The greens were clean and pretty well-maintained, and they do have pins (flags) in the holes which is unique. A good place for some good clean fun, and the clubhouse was pretty nice if you want to chill or have a snack.
Note that this place can be a little tricky to find if you're on Route 38 -- you have to watch for the signs for Rt 53 and then turn off that.
This 36-hole outdoor miniature golf course is part of the Glen Ellyn Park District. The greens are in fantastic shape and the holes are fun to play. They come complete with pins which I haven't seen at any other mini golf place. My only complaint is the price - $7 on weekends which is higher than most places I've been to and may explain why in the middle of the afternoon there was barely anyone there. Not that I'm complaining since we were able to play at our leisure.
I recommend this place for families since even though it's not mentioned on the park district site, there's a playground, a mini water park for youngsters, and a sand area to play in. You can pack a lunch and make a day of it with your kids. There's a pavilion with plenty of benches and a birds-eye view of the playground. You can relax while the kiddies tire themselves out.

I have lived in Naperville 15 years and I don't understand why everyone thinks our Park District is so great. Several local districts have water parks and Glen Ellyn has this wonderful hidden gem. The miniature golf course was awesome as far as cleanliness, friendliness fo staff, every hole had a pin, a garbage can and wonderful landscaping. The greens were clean and bright, and there were recycled benches every so often. Choose from the blue or red course (handicap accessible). The best part of all this? Water features that had miniature fishing nets which entertained my 6 year old the whole time, he hit several balls into the water just to fish them out.
Right out the door from the course is their wadding water park, and two wonderful playgrounds. One with several sand features, swings and a tree house - the other had a tension sled, a huge climbing rock and great abstract spider web style climbers and carousels.
