UFO’s Mini-Golf, Ice Cream & Arcade – Pensacola Beach, FL

Played on June 10, 2021

Reviewed by the Pink Putter

On our June 2021 Florida Panhandle birthday mini golf binge, Mr. Tee and I flew into Pensacola and drove our way west towards our AirBNB in Destin. On the drive, we took a scenic detour through the heart of Pensacola Beach and stumbled upon UFO’s Mini-Golf, making it the first official game of our trip.

Rating

UFO’s Mini-Golf had obviously been a different, more generic course under previous ownership. It appears that whoever bought it revamped the theming by adding new branding, signage and some cosmic enhancements onto the course. While the out-of-this-world elements were humorous, they were not so stellar and couldn’t disguise the fact that this course has seen better days. Being the only beachside option, it seemed to be a popular choice, but there are definitely more distinctive mini golf destinations in the Destin/Pensacola area.
