Miniature golf has provided fun for children of all ages for several decades, and its popularity does not appear to be waning.

Grandparents as well as little ones can feel adept at “golfing” with each other.  Such courses offer a wonderful opportunity for wholesome family fun as well as safe entertainment for teenagers, church and social groups, birthday parties, dating couples, and “old married couples.”   Most courses offer opportunities for all levels of players to feel successful and even score a hole in one.

Miniature golf courses are commonly found in coastal resort areas, but are not confined to those regions.  Courses often appear to resemble a golf course.  Most include bridges, natural rocks, windmills—and all are well-lit for nighttime play. Many coastal resort courses stay open late into the night year-round; some even opt for staying open all night when peak season is underway.   Miniature courses have the contours, banking, and undulations found on “real” golf courses.  Along with club rentals and golf balls, miniature courses may have snack bars, video game areas, and restrooms.  Some newer courses have installed golf simulators

for real golfing practice.
