Which Miniature Golf?

I've never been to either of the miniature golf courses. Which do you prefer? There will most likely be 7 adults and a baby.

I've played Fantasia Gardens quite a few times in the past. It's lots of fun and kind of in the middle of everything, so it's easy to find. We played Winter Summerland this May and I LOVED it. It was just as challenging and fun. Play the winter side if you can. I'd definately play WS again.

both have two courses. FG is a bit harder on both and one of them is a real mini par-3 course (minus sand traps last i heard, unless they put them back).

WS is easier, but the two courses tend to be redundant.

I'd play the winterland/summerland course esp if you have children. If you have golf crazy adults, play Fantasia Fairways, a very challenging course.

We prefer Fantasia Gardens as well. There's something very magical about the theming there.

All are fun. I'd choose Fantasia Gardens for the challenge, but Winter Summerland is shadier, which might be nicer for the baby.

I liked them both but I think I would prefer the Winter Summerland course.

I've played at Fantasia Gardens before, but when I played in May of 2007 it looked like a little up-keep needed to be done. Anyone else notice this, or has it been fixed up since then?

I'm voting for Winter Summerland not because I've played there before but only because it's closer to our hotel this year (AS Sports). Why go to the other golf course when we drive right by this one?

And how do you get to these mini-golf places? I have never read anything about Disney transportation getting you there so do you have to drive there on your own or are they near other Disney locations?

I know Winter Summerland is in front of Blizzard Beach so you could take that bus to get there. I'm not sure where Fantasia Gardens is because it's been so long since we played there.
