Im sure others will have lots of suggestions where, but you will find minigolf all over... along International Drive, along 192 etc
Where are you staying? If you are on Idrive then you will see a couple and there is one right next to wonderworks ( its an upside down building )

I don't think there is any one that is any better than the others. They are all very much the same. As Stevered1 says, there are a few around the I-Drive and US192 area, and we have tried a good few of them as our boys love their mini-golf.
The one at the Crossroads is excellent, well kept and fun although they all seem to have a pirate theme. The one at Kissimmee Old Town is good too.
You can't miss the Disney ones though, near the Swan and Dolphin hotels is Fantasia Gardens mini-golf (a round there is one of the freebie options with a 10 day Hopper)- its great and the mushrooms really do dance!. Also the Winter Summerland mini-golf adjacent to Blizzard Beach is excellent fun.
Sorry to go on a bit but we love our mini-golf and really enjoy all the courses aroung Orlando.

Can also recommend the Disney mini-golf courses, all entertaining, we like the Winter/Summerland courses better !
Fantasia Gardens, Winterland/Summerland are all great, but our favourite is still Pirates Cove Adventure Golf on I-Drive. :-)

If you are planning to visit the Walmart Superstore on East 192 the is a Pirates Cove mini golf 100 yards down the road from it near Medieval Times. Only found it by accident but as it is a bit further out it always quiet and very good value . There are 36 holes and it is excellently maintained. Good luck !!!

Can anyone give me some idea of how much the mini golf is as I think my DD's may love it - they like crazy golf over here.

It was about $9 a round for adults and less for children under a certain age- but its a couple of years since we went. Can be expensive, but they often discount a second round (there are usually 2 courses at each place). The disney ones are more expensive but worth it for the theming and guaranteed cleanliness, manicured holes etc.

Pirate's cove is good but if u go to Blizzard Beach u can get a special deal which includes a round at either winter summerland or fantasia gardens for only $10 each extra
Not many people seem to know about this, but if there is a thunder storm when your playing mini golf you can ask for a rain cheque. This happened to us twice on the Winter/Summerland course last time, we finally completed both courses on the last day before we set off for the airport. Three visits for the price of one was pretty good value.:d:

Pitates cove is great, look in my photos i will upload some pics, although im sure theres loads on there already if you do a search.
Just be careful around most of the mini-golf courses at dusk/night - the mossies are drawn to the water features that most have and will eat you alive!!!

I dont think we were ment to but we did each hole a couple of times, there were staff there mantaining the grounds and they never said anything, it was very quite at the time though.

Hi,
We have been advised by friends to do the disney summer /winterland crazy golf courses and from reading this thread it seems like excellent advice.
In the past we have found the best to be the pirates cove courses ( hard and easy!!!) at the crossroads,LBV. I think it was about ten dollars for adults and slightly less for the kids. We used the vouchers in the discount books and saved us a few dollars. iF YOU GET A Hole in at certain holes you get a free round:wavey:
Gosh this is an old post, it`s a year old!!

It may be old but is the info the same?
Is there any course that is better (Play wise or value) than the others?
Thanks
