There’s one in Katy , TX. It’s nice , but my gawd it’s brutally hot putt putting in 105F , 100% humidity weather. During the summer , you have to go after the sun sets


Dont understand why there arent indoor places
BR has a mini golf next to the bowling alley on Airline and the Celebration station. Both unshaded

They would rack up in summer if indoors or even just covered. Who wants to go there in July in the daytime?

Surge on Burbank has a small indoor course

I’m one of these rare few who hasn’t golfed inside a waterfall. So yes, would be quite the novelty.

Sue me.

I played the one in Delray Beach, FL last year and it was fantastic. They'd never bring one to Louisiana because the natives would find a way to frick it up.

Do you have to retrieve your ball if it goes in the water with the sharks?

Yes I go there often with my daughter but it’s so crowded whenever the weather is nice. There aren’t many other options for mini golf.

Maybe I'm old fashioned but if I go to putt putt golf, I don't wanna watch sharks, I wanna putt through a mechanical one.


I prefer the clowns

I've been to the one in St. Pete a few times with a group of guys. It's hella fun. You can order drinks from the mobile app and they will deliver it to you at whatever hole your group is on.

I’ve been a couple times and enjoyed myself.

$15 with a student ID, two 18 hole courses that you can play as much as you’d like. Plus a live scoreboard of all scores on the course.

Not a bad place to grab a drink and hang out with friends.

The challenge is you limit how many can play at once. You will have to wait for the group ahead with no golfing experience and taking 20 minutes to finish. I think it looks cool but once people have to wait too much they will go elsewhere due to how much they’ll spend not being worth it. Unless the place has time restrictions per hole. Its not like an outdoor course where golfers usually have course courtesy and know rules and won’t hold groups up as much. Amateurs will take forever on this indoor putting


Didn't have that issue at all and we went on opening weekend in Nashville. I think most of them have 36 holes so rarely is it going to be filled up.

Bossier has Chasing Aces, the Top Golf/PopStroke knock off and it's very solid. Less, as you say, natives, in Bossier than other parts of the state though.

Only downfall is the putt putt/popstroke like portion of Chasing Aces is that they don't have bartenders bringing drinks out there.

Have had one 10 minutes from in DFW for a few years. It’s awesome but take some money

You’ll drop $200+ for a date night.

Played the one at Broadway at the beach(Myrtle Beach) back in June. It was pretty cool. The carpet was like pitting on a real green almost. Played 2 rounds and had a few beers at the bar. I kept the balls because I collect the golf balls from the courses I’ve played and I thought I would add a putt putt one to it

I would rather pay a fee to not have to go to something like that.
