General Custer's Golf and Gulp

An older establishment but they offered loads of fun for a very reasonable price! The gulp offered a variety of food and ice cream and was also very tasty and not priced overly high.

I did something I literally have only done four times while living in Cincinnati for ten years now. I went to the west side. My least favorite side. I was sent a photo of creamy whip from this place and started reading about it. Decided to go as soon as it opened that day to hopefully have to have minimum human interaction. My plan worked and my boyfriend and I were the only two people there our a whole game until we were done and a small family came right then. When we got there a boy was working by himself and trying to get stuff ready for the day but he didn't act annoyed at all that we were already there. He was helpful on what course he prefers and nice. We ended up doing the 18 holes. Which was long enough for me in 94 degree weather at 11 in the morning. This place is very old school Americana style of putt putt. Everything is very self made and cartoon characters around the courses are crazy. They've obviously seen some stuff in their day; seeing how most of them are falling apart. Because they're falling apart we had a couple malfunctions with them when playing. The hole that had a giant rock looking thing on it, the foam was falling out of the bottom of the rock and my ball got stuck in it so we had to fish it out. Also, the hole with the T-Rex, it's hard to even hit the ball into the hole because you can't get under the dinosaur to hit it in. Then when you hit it in you have to get on your knees and crawl under it to get your balls out. The Putt Putt place was decent. I enjoyed it and that's what is important. I would drop $14 on it to do it again at some point. We got Creamy Whip afterwards and the woman working the window was super nice and helpful. We both got "Dreams Cones". My boyfriend got the one dipped in hot fudge with nuts. I got the one dipped in hot fudge with rainbow sprinkles. Both were amazing. They had a pretty big menu and it was decently overwhelming when we got up to it. So I'm glad the lady working was so helpful. They have lots of outdoor picnic tables and seating but we just sat in the car in the AC because we were melting. When Covid isn't a thing, they apparently have a game room and a Bungee jump thing for kids. My only real problems I had with this place are the course pieces are falling apart and my major thing is that they have a giant "Blue Lives Matter" flag on their course. Which grossed me out and was a big "What am I looking at on this Putt Putt course?"But also, not surprised coming from a place named after a guy who murdered a bunch of Native Americans. Ya know? I just want to play putt putt be taken away from reality for a minute.If you're stir crazy and need go get out of the house but don't want to be around a crowd of people. Or if you just want some good creamy whip, hit this place up.

Stopped by in town visiting friends and played a round of putt putt with my husband and son. Military golf for free and get a free ice cream so that's amazing! Facility is very worn down and could use some love but for the price it's worth it.

I like to support local businesses, so when it hit 70° I popped over to a nostalgic old favorite: General Custer's. The soft serve prices are relatively expensive ($2.40 for a small dish) but they have a few unique flavor options. In the machine they have chocolate, vanilla, Dole lime and the infamous "King's Island" blue raspberry. You can also get ~35 other flavors as a mix-in (+$.60).I had the KI-clone blue raspberry, and have to say: it's not exactly a good rip-off of King's Island. It looked a bit too anæmic (pale blue). I was also disappointed to see a bit more of the historic exterior chipped away this season (RIP vintage neon General Chester's sign, my sweet prince). I mostly come here FOR the nostalgia, so once it's all gone I suppose I will be too.

This place is a west side icon. Come for the golf and stay for the ice cream. The prices are ultra reasonable. This is the only place in Cincinnati to get Dole fruit flavored soft serve. See owners Keith or Kathy. They will take great care of you. You can have your kids birthday there or have an office lunch! They do all kinds of golf outtings! Countless desert options sure to please anyone!

First Tuesday of the month from 5-8:30 they have free putt putt. Put on your mosquito repellent. The bugs are ridiculous! I got 10+ mosquito bites during the hour we were there. The event is supposed to last until 8:30p.m. Bit the lights were shut off at 8 along with the bubble blower. The kids get to see Elsa and her sister too. Be prepared for the whole soundtrack of Frozen which I loved and sand along to just to annoy my kids lol. We had a good time. There are a bunch of interesting holes. The cranny who has a bunch of items too, including cheesecake on a stick, yummy.

Wow, this place has received a huge makeover in last two years! With new astro turf and fun obstacles in each hole, this place is a new family favorite! There are two different 18 hole courses. I bought a Groupon but it ended up being cheaper without it. I took my 6 year old and 3 year old and children 3 and under were free so I only paid for my 6 year old. It was $7 for the two of the to play unlimited golf! The adjoining creamy whip was reasonably priced and delicious too! They also have a bungee activity and arcade which we didn't do.

The mini golf courses are in pretty rough shape. I'm not a hugely competitive guy but I do like my putting greens to at least have turf that isn't rippled and torn and has been replaced in the last 20 years.It's fine for little kids I suppose since they probably don't care. I will say, it ways nice to have a frozen chocolate covered banana during the 95 degree heat wave while we were there. All in all a little attention to some maintenance of any kind would be nice.

A west-side staple! Okay, I know the putt-putt course is run-down. But it was still loads of fun and very reasonable -$7 per person, or play as much as you want for $2 more. Enough other players to make it fun, but not overcrowded. (Our visit was on Saturday night). The ice cream treats were very good. We heard while we were there that the place had recently sold and the new owners are planning improvements, which is good, but also planning to change the name, not good. Unless they change it to General Custard's, which makes a better play on words!

I am playing as many mini putt putt courses as I can find around the tri-state area. I have my own rating system to break down what is important to me.Difficulty- 3/5Price- 4/5Amusement- 3/5Condition- 1/5Total- 11/20As a bonus they have decent ice cream.
