Most people have gone mini golfing, but few places have better mini golf courses than the Jersey shore. With fun themes, special features, and prime locations near boardwalks and tourist attractions, these Jersey shore mini golf courses are perfect “fore” your next vacation.
Shipwreck Island Mini Golf
This Bradley Beach course features fishing boats, huge rocks, and lighthouses. Be careful not to hit your ball into the water, although you should definitely hit the boardwalk after your game.
Wacky Rooftop Golf
This Seaside Heights course features a whopping 25 holes! Its location across the rooftops over 5 buildings on the Seaside Heights boardwalk make it unlike any other course around. Animal and fairytale figures decorate the course and make it perfect for kids!
Blackbeard’s Cave
This Bayville course boasts 20 holes complete with caves, bridges, and a fun pirate theme. Voted the best course in Ocean and Monmouth counties, this is a hole in one for mini-golf enthusiasts.
Medieval Fantasy Miniature Golf
This challenging Ocean City course’s medieval theme makes it perfect for the kids. They’ll be amazed by the neon lights illuminating the otherwise pitch-black holes. Because it’s indoors, you and your family can beat the heat or rain without giving up fun.
Thundering Surf Adventure Golf
This Beach Haven course gives you the choice between two fantastic 18 hole adventures. You can explore caves behind a waterfall or dare to cross a swinging bridge over a canyon! Asbury Park Press, Atlantic City Press, and New Jersey Monthly Magazine have all named this course the best in the state, so it’s definitely a must-play!
Congo Falls Adventure Golf
If you had fun at Medieval Fantasy, you need to hit Congo Falls Adventure on the Ocean City Boardwalk. This Disney-themed course features a giant model of King Kong and 3 exciting courses with 18 holes each! The Lost City is indoors and air conditioned, so you can play even if the weather is lousy. Awesome features include caves, waterfalls, and a snake pit. With long hours (8:00 a.m. to midnight) during the summer, there’s no reason to miss this!
Monster Mini Golf
This Fairfield course is unlike any other. It features 18 indoor holes with neon lights that create a monster theme! The scary animated creatures delight children, and the holes often challenge even adults, so this is a perfect family activity. A DJ provides a brilliant soundtrack to your outing, and arcade games will entertain the kids for hours afterward. If you’re looking to host a birthday party, this facility includes two party rooms with a spooky haunted house theme!
Paramus Mini Golf
While the Broadway smash hit musical Hamilton is noted for making American history fun, this Paramus course has been doing it for years! Each hole’s theme is related to New Jersey history, so you can teach your kids without them realizing it! You can also hold a birthday party here!
The Funplex
This Mount Laurel golf center gives you a choice between Adventure Cave, well-loved by the kids, and the Lost Lagoon, which is a bit more difficult. Fortunately, both courses are covered in various flora that provide plenty of shade, making this facility perfect for hot days. Pro tip: make sure your ball rolls to the top of the ramp on the last hole for a free game!
Swing Time
This Howell facility has plenty of family activities along with their pair of 18 hole mini golf courses. The top of the giant waterfall in the center gives you an aerial view of both courses. Night and Day magazine named this place number one on the shore, so playing here is “shore” to be a blast!
With so many awesome Jersey shore mini golf courses, it can be hard to pick one to visit. Of course, we suggest playing them all, but no matter how many you choose, we guarantee you’ll have plenty of fun!
