Monster Mini Golf – Coral Springs, FL

Played on December 28, 2016

Reviewed by Mr. Tee

Our major mini golf binge continued as our holiday trip moved from Orlando to southern Florida. Even though the weather was beautiful outside compared to our home in Minnesota, we felt compelled to make a special trip indoors to a Monster Mini Golf course since few of their franchises are located near us in the Midwest. We opted for the Coral Springs location based on photos we saw online and were in for a real treat.

Birdie – We adore mini golf in all of its forms but our experience with blacklight courses have been a mixed bag. We’ve played few high-quality putting experiences in glow-in-the-dark environments but on average, we’ve found these indoor layouts to be lacking in play and design. I thought the Kiss theme of the Vegas location was reason enough to rank the course high but based on our experience in Coral Springs, it appears Monster Mini Golf solved the challenge of how to make substantial glow-in-the-dark mini golf courses. The cohesive monster theme coupled with chatty characters, interactive activities, and well maintained playing area made for a fantastic evening. The staff were incredibly generous in talking with us about the course and dug deep to find me a t-shirt! Definitely looking forward to exploring more Monster courses.

The booming voice from this skull is jarring but is a super nice touch

A huge moving dinosaur didn’t distract us at all

Spin the wheel and prepare to take on an additional challenge while putting this hole

Booth pumped out tunes and DJ challenged putters to trivia throughout the night. The Pink Putter won a glow-in-the-dark necklace

Corny puns on a mini golf course are always welcome

Love how the blacklight was used to give the relatively flat surface more depth

Monster Mini Golf’s signature obstacle on a number of their courses

Unique scoring rubric. My strong round landed me in Level #1

Had one in my size and nabbed my first glow-in-the-dark mini golf shirt
