Clean course. Challenging yet fun. Have choice of 2 different 18 hole courses to choose from. Run by a local owner who was very friendly and did everything possible to make sure we were satisfied with this experience. We played miniature golf at another franchise owned golf course in Helen the previous night. The Bavarian Mountain Golf course was so much cleaner and better maintained than the franchise owned place. And it was cheaper than the franchise. Staff was more accommodating here also. We will definitely return to Bavarian Mountain Miniature Golf Course on our next visit there. One tip: Do take advantage of the free mosquito spray which is provided at the desk for you prior to playing golf. Mosquitos are abundant at both golf courses, but at least this one does provide free mosquito spray

I have done over 50 escape rooms. I look at rooms from the perspective of immersion, game flow, types of puzzles, and how well the puzzles fit the theme. My family and I recently experienced both rooms at the Lost Rooms Escape Adventures in Helen, GA. Both rooms had excellent game flow. The Final Piece room made excellent use of the space available. The MasterKey room is good for larger groups. For both, the immersion felt pretty complete. The rooms were fun to play. The puzzles were varied and were more than just lock and key. The puzzles fit well with the theme of the room. I would definitely recommend.

It was a very fun mini-golf course that was well designed so that you did not feel the whole world watching your cheers of success and lamentations of failure. The theme was present throughout and added to the fun. 18 holes were long enough for a family of 5 and by the last few we were more playing for humor than par.

We visited Helen, GA three times within the past ten years. We always make a point of stopping by Steve’s for some old time photos. It’s cool to have periodic pictures taken as we all got older...makes for great conversations when friends and family see them hanging on the walls. The pictures are great quality. The staff seams to have more fun than the patrons as they assist with the costumes, accessories and actually taking the pictures. Very friendly and likable. We definitely recommend Steve’s as a must see whenever visiting Helen.
