which miniature golf course do you prefer?

We may try to make it over to the mini golf courses but can't decide which sounds like more fun. Which have you played and enjoyed?

I've been to both and found that I liked Winter Summerland better. The theming is just so cute.

We really enjoyed Winter/Summerland. They have a snowman that squirts water at you, and the kids really enjoyed it since it was super hot that day.

I enjoy seeing my husband upset at the gardens course at Fantasia Gardens. It's really hard but we both sadistically challenge each other on it every trip. Out of the others, The summer course of wintersummerland is good.
Off property, just by Goodings and Red Lobster, Pirates Cove is alot of fun. Waterfalls and caves and bright blue 2000 flushes water.

I've done Winterland, Summerland, and Fantasia Gardens and enjoyed them all. (I wouldn't play my son at Fantasia Fairways because he actually knows how to golf so I figured he'd beat me.) I don't think Fantasia has a squirting hole (or we would have stood by it to cool down), so if that's a draw, you might go for Summerland. Otherwise, I'd choose based on which location is more convenient, because all of the themed courses are cute and relatively easy.

Happy planning,
Melissa

Want a really good game? Fantasia Gardens

Want to laugh and have a ball? Winter Summerland...it's a hoot! Doesn't take much skill, but it's a riot!

Have fun deciding!

We've enjoyed both. It's a tough call, but I think the theming of Winter Summerland is more imaginative.

We've played all four courses, and the "real" course at Fantasia Gardens is our favorite.

Fantasia Gardens is lovely, but it's rather "static" -- not much movement, not many mini golf type holes. Lots of flat, yet interestingly-shaped holes. It's more difficult and could be a challenge for the younger kids.

Winter Summerland has a great deal of charm, funny messages from Santa's elves and very cute, "cartoony" theming. I really, really enjoyed both sides of WS. If you have younger kids, it's probably best for their sense of fun -- all the cups are slightly lower than the other parts of the green, making it easier to get the ball in the hole.
