Orlando is known as one of the most popular golfing destinations in the United States, but the City Beautiful is also host to a multitude of fun miniature golf courses. Open to golfers of all ages, these are the 5 best mini golf courses for families to enjoy! Winter Summerland in Walt Disney World Photo: Flickr/Scott Smith Created by Santa for his merry elves when they are in Florida on vacation, Winter Summerland is one of the best themed mini golfs in Orlando. This Disney location features two 18-hole courses, one themed to the warm beaches of summer and another themed to the icy chill of winter. Both courses offer so much fun as golfers putt their way through snapping clamshells, Squirty the Snowman, and even a sleeping Santa buried in sand! Pirates Cove Adventure Golf on International Drive Photo: Pirate's Cove Even pirates enjoy playing a round of mini golf on the high seas! Golfers can have their own swashbuckling adventure on a course full of scallywag delights like cannons and pirate ships. This course also features some beautiful landscape and waterfalls to enhance the mini golf experience. Fantasia Gardens and Fairways in Walt Disney World Photo: Disney Themed to the 1940 animated Disney film Fantasia, this mini golf course is full of fanciful statues of hippos, alligators, and Sorcerer Mickey Mouse himself. The holes on this course are fun to play, especially when dodging the animated broomsticks fountain! Hollywood Drive-In Golf in Universal CityWalk Photo: Flickr/David Blaikie Golfers here can play two 18-hole courses, “The Haunting of Ghostly Greens” and “Invaders from Planet Putt”. Being a drive-in, the course is full of neon lights that help to pump up the fun. Definitely visit this course at night when the creative obstacles, like the clever Haunty Python hole, are fully lit! Putting Edge on International Drive For a truly psychedelic mini golf adventure, Putting Edge can't be beat. The entire course is brought to life under black light, allowing the glow-in-the-dark elements to shine and create a unique golfing experience. This course is perfect for those hot Florida days since it is entirely indoors and air conditioned. Mini golfing is just one of the countless engaging experiences Orlando has to offer visitors.
