Mini golf courses may be wee, but they’re acres of fun for kids and adults alike. Great places to take a date or have some multi-generational fun on a family recreational safari, the price of walking these greens is a whole lot cheaper than doing so on their full-sized counterparts.
This is an outdoor mini golf course with altitude. Set partway up the hillside of Canada Olympic Park, its 18 holes offer a big view of the city. Mini golf is one of many recreational options offered as part of WinSport’s birthday party packages. Visit the facility’s website for golf-season dates and hours.
Just south of the city on Highway 2A, Oasis Greens Golf Centre makes good use of its natural setting. While mature members of your group may wish to perfect their swing on the driving range, the Pebble Beach miniature golf course is open to all comers. Warm up for this fun and challenging course on the Mickey-Mouse-shaped practice green. With loads more elbowroom than typical mini-golf greens, expect to make a lap of its fountains, ponds and waterfalls in about 70 minutes.
Mini golf is just one of numerous activities at Shakers Family Fun Centre. A popular indoor party place, here adults and children can indulge in go-karting and laser tag, take to the climbing tower or the big ol’ playground space. When visiting spring through fall, pop outside for 18 holes of mini golf amid Lilliputian fountains and bridges.
An adult activity centre, pub and restaurant, Schanks Sports Grill on Crowfoot Terrace Northwest features an indoor mini-golf course complete with sand traps and other hazards. Once you’ve conquered its micro greens, further activity options include billiards, arcade games and 10-pin bowling.
At the intersection of the Trans Canada Highway and Stoney Trail Northeast, Target Greens Golf Driving Range also features a miniature golf course. Real grass and plenty of surrounding greenery give this attractive 18-hole course the feel of a full-sized facility. Call in advance for bookings.
A family recreation centre northeast of the intersection of Macleod Trail and Canyon Meadows Drive Southeast, Fun N’ More features plenty of engaging attractions. Central among them is its nine-hole glow-in-the-dark mini-golf course. Decorated with beachside adventure murals, the course’s greens are midnight black and its golf balls neon.
