Low Tide Golf Set Review: Beach Mini Golf Made Simple

When I first came across the Low Tide Golf Set, my initial thought was, 'Golf on the beach? Really?' But after a few weekends of trying it out, I can say it's an interesting way to mix up a day at the beach.

The idea of bringing mini-golf to the sand seemed a bit odd, but it's a fun distraction from the usual beach activities. It’s essentially a portable mini-golf setup that allows you to play right on the sand, which is an interesting twist.

Setting it up was straightforward, even with a bit of wind, and it didn't take too long to get the hang of how it all works. The kit is pretty comprehensive, including putters, golf balls, flags, and cups.

In this review, I'll dive into the ins and outs of the Low Tide Golf Set, sharing what worked well and what didn't quite hit the mark.

The design of the Low Tide Golf Set is quite practical for its purpose. Everything you need fits into a single carry bag, which is lightweight and easy to sling over your shoulder. This portability is a big plus since beach trips often involve lugging around a lot of stuff already.

The putters included are 34 inches long and made from 'soft touch' nitrile rubber. They have a comfortable grip and didn't feel cheap, which is nice because many beach toys do. The two flags and cups are made from durable materials too, with the cups designed to screw into the sand easily.

One thing I noticed during setup is that the cups, made from PETG plastic, can be a bit tricky to secure perfectly if the sand is too loose. It works better on compact, wet sand. The flags are bright yellow and stand out well, so you won't lose them even if someone kicks sand over them.

Overall, the design is thoughtful and seems to have been created with beach conditions in mind. It's not perfect since loose sand can be a challenge, but it generally gets the job done.

The materials used in the Low Tide Golf Set are pretty solid. The putters are made from a combination of rubber and fiberglass, which provides a nice balance between durability and lightweight design. After a few uses, they still looked as good as new, with no signs of cracking or fading from the sun exposure.

The golf balls, which come in two colors - white and yellow - are regulation size and feel quite sturdy. They aren't the same as your traditional golf balls, but they work well for this setup.

As for the cups and flags, both are constructed from materials that can handle the beach environment. The PETG plastic cups are particularly durable, as I found them easy to clean even after getting them a bit messy with wet sand.

In terms of materials, the Low Tide Golf Set holds up well. It's clear that thought was put into making everything withstand a bit of rough and tumble, which is essential for beach play.

Durability is something you always worry about with beach gear, but the Low Tide Golf Set holds up nicely. After several trips to the beach, it shows minimal signs of wear and tear. The materials have proven to be resistant to both sand and sun, which is a huge plus.

The rubber on the putters hasn't cracked, and the flags still look bright. The PETG plastic cups are as sturdy as they were on the first day, which is impressive given the amount of twisting they go through when being set up on the sand.

Even the golf balls, which can often get lost or scuffed up, remained in good condition throughout my usage. The bag itself, which carries all the components, hasn’t shown any signs of ripping or fading either.

For anyone concerned about getting a product that lasts, this set appears to be a good investment if you plan to use it often during the summer months. It’s built to withstand regular use in a harsh environment like the beach.

When it comes to performance, the Low Tide Golf Set offers a unique experience. Playing mini-golf on the beach is not the same as on a flat course, but that's part of the challenge and fun. The sand's unpredictable nature adds a new layer of difficulty, which I personally found refreshing.

The putters, although lightweight, offer decent control. However, the sand sometimes affects the ball's path more than I expected. It took some time to adjust to the way the ball moves on the sand versus on a putting green.

With practice, you start to get the hang of aiming and controlling your shots better. The flags and cups stay visible and secure, which makes setting up different holes an enjoyable task. The game allows for flexibility in how you play, whether you're going for competitive rounds or just casual play.

Overall, the performance might not be what seasoned golfers are used to, but for a fun beach activity, the Low Tide Golf Set performs well enough.
