Rich's offers two 18-hole courses, the Castle course and the Snake course. I went with a group of five others through the latter, and it was without a doubt one of the most frustrating and dissatisfying rounds of mini golf any of us had ever experienced. The majority of the holes are constructed so that no matter what, your ball will end up at the bottom of an incline, with only a very small safe spot for the ball to rest near the hole. I would say that for the entirety of our party, at least six holes followed the pattern of taking three or four shots and then quitting and taking a seven.
The holes seem to be constructed rather haphazardly, with pointless obstacles and inclines everywhere. I don't know if this was due to laziness or spite, but the result was a thoroughly unenjoyable experience. One hole featured a disgusting-looking water hazard that five out of six us hit; we had to fish our balls out of a primordial soup of unfathomable blue dye, trash, dead leaves, and tadpoles.
I do not know if the Castle course is any less frustrating, but I am not morbidly curious enough to return. The "Fun" Center also features bumper boats, which were patronized by mouth-breathing yahoos who had no qualms about over-shooting their water guns above their intended targets and spraying us as we putted peaceably nearby, a dismal and unimaginative token-based arcade featuring a 50¢ decades-old Mortal Kombat machine, and a double-decker driving range, which I imagine is hard attraction to screw up.
On a busy Saturday afternoon, the facility seemed to be managed by a single bored teenager with the dead eyes and nervous habits of a shell-shocked veteran. The ambiance of the course was dominated by an oldies radio station blaring banal advertisements and the worst music of the eighties, interrupted by an unexplained siren and the calls of what sounded like a large bull frog living a ghastly and lonely existence in the depths of the Great Blue Marsh.
If this is the only mini golf attraction in town, then I pity the hapless denizens of Wyoming, Pennsylvania. God save you, simple folk.
Also, there wasn't any soap in the bathroom.

We bought $150.00 worth coupons before the flood of 2011. They closed, understandably for the rest of the year. I called to see if they would honor them, I was told "No". I can't believe I wasted good money on a place like this!!!!!!

I have been going there with my family for years. Victory Pig pizza is the best, and then you go mini golfing.
