Europa Go Karts & Golf

This place has seen better days. Looks like it has been neglected for some years now. Got a deal on Groupon but it still wasnt worth it. The water display was dirty and the water smelled like sewer. Never again

It was a bright and sunny, Sunday afternoon when she said, «Why don’t we go ride some go-​carts?» With the earlier part of the afternoon taken by furniture shopping, what right-​minded husband and his child wouldn’t take a mom up on that offer?
She found the place by searching for go-​carts on Google and this one was the closest. 6 miles is what Google maps said, but it wasn’t calculating quality, just distance. We passed it by the first time, so we had to turn around. The lack of signage should have been an indicator, but we were carefree and following Google like a lemming to the cliff.
I’ve never been to a mini-​golf/​go-​cart track/​arcade that also offered pet care. My first thought — ‘Are they so ahead of the times they’ve thought of everything?’ My second thought — ‘This place seems a little run down.’ This is one instance where 2^nd thoughts are the better/​wiser choice.
The mini-​golf looks like it was from the late 70’s or early 80’s (yes, that was a long time ago, despite what us older people are thinking). We walked around the building to get a look at the batting cages and looked over at the go-​cart track. Inside, we checked out the arcade. Yep, pure 80’s…and not much in the way of upgrades. The cars appear to be from a Myrtle Beach, SC go-​cart track, and they’ve clearly seen the wrong side of physics. If rubbin’ is racin’ then these things have been raced and raced and raced. There are pieces missing from every single go-​cart body that I saw.
You can select 5 or 10 minutes rides for single or double riders. Your price will vary. $ 16 for 2 riders for 10 minutes; $ ⁷⁄₁₂ for one rider for ⁵⁄₁₀ minutes. They take Visa, MC, AMEX, and Discover, as well as cash.
There was a father and son in front of us. They got in their cars and started. We expected to get out on the track with them, so it would be 4 cars on the small track. After starting them and sending them off, the guy working the go-​carts started moving cars up in line to replace the two taken by the father/​son team. Then he leaned on the wall and watched them. I asked him if we could start, but he said it was too dangerous for more cars. We waited for 10 minutes.
The wife started first, with father/​child in a double car a few seconds behind. We passed her in 2 laps. Her go-​cart had no giddy-​up. At 5 laps, the guy called her to stop near the pits, did some adjustments to her engine and sent her out. There was even less performance from the engine.
I recommend you go somewhere else. I hate to say that about what appears to be a family owned business in today’s economy, but there are far better go-​cart tracks in the Nashville area. Yes, they will be more expensive and offer you less time, but your track will me more complex, your go-​cart will «go,» and you will have more than just your cart on the track. In essence, you’ll have go-​cart racing experience, which is what I wanted.

We went for the mini golf. The course has seen better days. Many of the putting mats were loose. There is poison ivy along the fence, it smells bad, & the mosquitos were bad. There aren’t many mini golf places in town, so this is about your only choice on the west side. We did not stay & try the batting cages, go karts, or game room.

Kind of like the Bates Motel of go kart tracks, in that its off the beaten path with no signs. But actually it was pretty good. Pretty old school and far from fancy, but the staff was nice.

I went strictly for the go-​karts.
1. I am a tourist — got lost. Apparently there are more than one «621 Old hickory Blvd» in nashville. be careful when you plug this in your gps!
2. Pretty run down place.
3. Go-​karts are $ 10 for 10 minutes. I went on a saturday afternoon and it was empty.
The track is very small, but hey, it’s fun. After 10 minutes it just gets kind of boring going over the same track.

We came for the mini golf and were disappointed. The course was in really bad shape and most of the holes were pretty direct, easy putts. Not worth the 8 bucks each we paid.

I am reviewing the «Putt-​Putt Course.»
These two courses have seen better days. Maybe. Frankly, this place needs so much work it’s hard to believe that «codes» let’s them stay open.
The course is designed out as simple straight shots on concrete covered in ancient green indoor-​outdoor carpet. The side rails of the green is made of 4×4 round garden timber. To make the course challenging they have installed a few obstructions between the tee and the hole made of garden timber cuts or metal shapes. Meh. Boring. Also, most the holes have an abundance of dead and rotting vegetation due to the lack of blowing it off the course daily.
The course is accented by stucco boulders, a giraffe, an elephant, and a japanese lantern. None of these accents have been maintained in at least a decade. There are two pools and water jets spraying in the air. You can see all the exposed pumps, electrical cords (including the orange ones running through the course), and you can certainly smell the rancid water.
Hole 5 on Course 2 is covered in Poison Ivy. Covered. Really?
The grass (or weeds) needs to be cut and maintained. The lumber needs repaired. An everything needs painted.
I could go on and on. I won’t.
If this place charged $ 2 such as old courses in Florida do and it was reasonably maintained, it wouldn’t matter that it’s old. It wouldn’t matter that you can see the ruins of fun things that used to swing or sway to make the course challenging. At $ 8, however, per person… whoa!
It was a bad idea to go here. That’s what I get for not checking Unilocal before heading over there and dropping time and money.

I remember coming here as a kid, more than a few years ago, and after recently coming back to this place, I can certainly see that is hasn’t changed a bit. Could use a facelift, as me and my friends were the only ones there, and anyone can blatantly tell there isn’t much generating business.

I went with my little brother a week or so ago.
They have several video games there, but any of the two-​player ones had one player broken. Daytona USA the right coin slot was disconnected so you couldn’t play head to head, a motorcycle racing game the right one was overheating and the graphics card was corrupt, one of the other screens was so faded it was unplayable.
Go-​karts were extremely fun, and at $ 10 for 10 minutes they better be. They’re the second highest powered go-​karts I have run across. Wickedly fun, if slightly higher priced than average.
The place is invisible from the road, so if you’re going look for Sam’s Club and pull into their entry driveway, as you’re headed up to it they’re on the right. It’s also open if it says it’s open, we almost left because it looked closed.
Not sure what the deal is with this place, but the go karts are wicked.

I live near this place and have been there MANY times over the years but have stopped going because it’s one lawsuit away from closing — VERY run-​down, shabby, can’t even read the hole par info, bridge supports wobbly and unstable, rotten wood and broken concrete along course, rusting/​dented garbage cans, water features that are barely dribbling water. It’s just sad. I was hopeful that they’d fixed it up some when they offered the Groupon in summer of 2011. Don’t know what they’re doing with that cash but they sure aren’t re-​investing it into the biz. They even charged us the «sales tax» when we used a Groupon for mini-​golf. Owners aren’t even friendly. I won’t be going back again, that’s for sure. Certainly isn’t worth the price they’re charging for one game of mini-​golf (the 18^th hole eats your ball). If I wasn’t so lazy I’d contact BBB about them. I felt unsafe there and was, frankly, embarrassed to have brought my kids and their friends there.

I was looking for some go kart thrills, and found it at this old school spot. My hubs and I came here as part of my birthday celebration on a Friday night.
We just wanted to drive go karts which is $ 6 each for 5 min. I had a $ 2 off coupon, so it ended up just being $ 10 total. There weren’t a lot of people there, so I’m not sure how well this place is doing. We explored the game room which is painted in a cheesey space theme with plastic glow in the dark dangling stars.
I love CAMP, so this is my kind of place!
We waited at the track for 10 minutes while the people ahead of us drove around. We got there before they took off, so I’m not sure why we couldn’t go, too. It’s probably best we waited because it’s a modest sized track – with some bitchin’ twists and turns!
Those 5 minutes were the highlight of my birthday! I was a little tipsy, too which made it even more exciting. Rock and roll!
I hope this place survives because it puts the «F» in Fun :)

Maybe we just showed up at the wrong time, but I bought two half off coupons on Groupon for this place to take my fiancée out for some mini golf and go carts, and when we got there, it was a pretty worn out place.
The go carts were ok, but since the place was completely empty of customers, it was just the two of us racing around a smallish track.
The mini golf was the big letdown. The courses were pretty worn out, there were these plaster crocodiles in the «river» (which could have used a cleaning), an elephant in the middle of the course, and vultures on the elephant … wait, no, the vultures are real. Yup, real vultures at the mini golf course. Just watching over the game play.
I still have a Groupon credit to use there, and I think I’ll just count it as loss.
