Putt-Putt Miniature Golfing in Tampa Bay

Sometimes, nothing can be more fun than whacking a ball around a putt-putt golf course. It's great fun for the whole family, a great place to go for a date, and makes a playful destination if you are working on your putting game. While the prevalence of putt-putt golf courses seems to have declined a bit in the Tampa area, there are still several great places to go if you want to play this amazingly addictive, incredibly fun game. Here are three that are sure to please every mini golf fan in the family.

Ace Range Golf and Pro Shop

Ace offers a golfing experience tailored to the young and old, professional and the novice alike. With a range, tees, target greens, and an 18-hole mini golf course, you can visit Ace to polish your game, enjoy a day of putt-putt with your friends and family, or shop for the perfect driver. (By the way, baseball fans, there are batting cages for you, too!)

Miniature golf pricing at Ace Golf is set at $6.49 for adults, $4.49 for children aged 4-10, and is free for kids under 4 years old. Ace Golf also offers birthday party and group packages.

Congo River Golf

If you want to combine adventure and mini golf into one exciting package, then look no further than Congo River Golf. With 18 holes of golfing fun set amid rocky cliffs, waterfalls, tunnels, and alligators, Congo River Golf is not your ordinary putt-putt course. The lushly landscaped setting and rocky features transports you to a putt-putt golfing environment that is as exciting to look at as it is to play in. Congo River Golf offers arcades, birthday parties, and (truly unlike most other putt-putt golf courses) alligator feeding.
