Renaissance Golf Course Tee Times

Giving this place 3 stars because the mini golf course itself was nice, as was the Halloween setup, but the staff really ruined our experience. I visit Jackson with my father and brother frequently, and tought it would be a nice place to pass the time... We arrived at 5:45pm after getting dinner, and the woman at checkin made a comment about us sneaking in early to pay a cheaper price... I guess at 6pm some "halloween" event starts, and the price spikes up. We honestly had no clue what she was talking about. She begrudgingly gave us coins, and told us how to get started. Mini golf was nice, minus the fact that since we were the only ones there, they didn't turn the lights on for us. I was able to snap a few pics before it got dark! We couldn't even see the course towards the end. One employee walked around us the whole time, smoking a pipe and "keeping an eye" on us. (A 65 year old, 23 year old, and 13 year old... Like we were up to no good at a mini golf course?) Every time I looked behind us, he would be there. Then another employee kept walking through the courses we were on, without bothering to say excuse me. On our final course, he stood directly behind us, waiting for us to finish up. We felt so rushed. Next trip to Jackson, we will be looking for another passtime.

March 2023 - Unfortunately the golf range is in a very bad state of disrepair. Everything from the mats, ancient golf balls that were completely unhittable for any accurate distance, rusted out stalls, dead grass on the range, it's just a complete disaster. Also was asked to bring in the empty bucket back inside when I'm done, while the woman inside presumably does....? That was a first in thirty years of going to a golf driving range. The balls are so bad that all I could hit were short wedges. Every time I tried to hit a longer shot, I made solid contact but the ball would go out and just drop, like it was water logged. Time to sell the property for something else, anything else.

Very run down. Website does NOT look like the place in person. Inside smells smoky.

Visited with husband on a date day recently to play mini golf. The place needs major help. Broken fences, weeds took over everywhere, water mountain not on or filled, course ripped up. Granted, we did enjoy our time together, we would never go back unless they renovated.

I love this place. Their mini golf is the best and is not expensive. I just found out the they will be closing for good the end of 2021. The owners of the land sold it to a developer to possibly put up an assisted living or rehab facility. Sucks. We need MORE things for family's to do in Toms River. Stop taking away family oriented things. Really unhappy they will close.
