The Track Mini Golf – Destin, FL

Visited June 12, 2021

Words by the Mr. Tee

On the coastal road near the beachline in Destin, there are loads of touristy options for when you’re looking to spend time outside of the water in the Gulf of Mexico. We were hoping to take in a number of the mini golf options since it was near where we were staying but a limited timeframe and a little rainy weather diminished the number of courses we got to play. Due to this, we did our best to capture a few of the spots for reference on future trips to the area.

The Track was a pretty substantial complex with two 18-hole courses sandwiched between go-karts and a family fun center building. The courses have a collection of tropical vibes, safari animals, waterfalls, rope bridges, lush plants, and red concrete rocks. The green turfed holes were mostly surrounded by traditional red bricks and concrete blocking. A solid mix of relatively straightforward hole designs with little theming in the field of play. Everything looked in great condition and this spot had some of the better-looking courses near the beach. Definitely gonna play this one next time around.

Several tiers to this course that starts down at street level and goes up a few levels
Straight forward greens with red bricks and those pesky metal cups

One of the many water features
Suspicious look on my face
Blue turf, few ripples in the turf and residual water from the rain
Rain definitely would impact play on this hole
Water pooled up on the blue turf

The rope bridge adds to the overall immersive ambiance
Class cave under waterfalls
Palms trees and giraffes soar out of the top of the course

Lil house on the course and beach on the other side of the hotels
Pond full of koi
Posed for this and ended up mistakenly getting fish food in my mouth
Let’s hug it out!
Feels like a gorilla on my back
Solid wayfinding signage
