Best Miniature Golf Courses in Orlando, Florida

If you need a break from the theme parks or are just looking for something a little different, miniature golf in Orlando, Florida, just might be the ticket. Miniature golf is fun and relaxing, both during the day and under the lights at night. Here is a guide to the best miniature golf courses in Orlando, Florida.

I would be remiss not to start with the Walt Disney courses. They are, after all, the most fun and convenient. The best of the Walt Disney World miniature golf courses is Disney's Winter Summerland miniature golf course. Disney's Winter Summerland offers two distinct 18-hole miniature golf courses: the Snow course and the Sand course. They are both equally fun and are great for all ages. Located near the entrance to Disney's Blizzard Beach water park, Winter Summerland is open daily from ten a.m. to eleven p.m. and costs just $9.25 for adults ten and over, $7.50 for children ages three through nine.

If you want a more realistic golf experience, head over to Disney's Fantasia Gardens miniature golf course, where you will find Fantasia Fairways, a challenging course that is almost like the real thing. Luckily, Fantasia Gardens also offers a genuine miniature golf experience, complete with dancing hippos, leaping fountains and broomsticks. Disney's Fantasia Gardens is located across from MGM Studios, and is open daily from ten a.m. to eleven p.m. The prices are the same at Disney's Fantasia Gardens as they are at Disney's Winter Summerland miniature golf course.

Congo River Adventure Golf in Orlando, Florida, offers thirty-six exciting holes that are fun for guests of all ages. You will play atop giant waterfalls, rocky summits, and in the depths of mysterious caves. Adults pay just $10.45 for one course - the Stanley course or the Livingstone course - or just $14.95 for both. Each course is eighteen holes apiece, most with a two or three shot par. Located on 192, if you dare, you can also feed some live hungry gators at Congo River Adventure Golf.

Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf, located on SR 535 in Lake Buena Vista, offers two thrilling eighteen-hole courses. Open daily from nine a.m. to 11:30 p.m., Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf offers a fun and picturesque setting, and yes, its name says it all: lots of water, including waterfalls, legendary buccaneers, and plenty of buried treasure. Orlando Magazine voted Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf the "Best in Florida" for miniature golf.

    Pirate's Cove is great fun. It's a chain, so even people who aren't visiting or living in Orlando can try it out.
