A little behind the scenes look at Morton Arboretu A little behind the scenes look at Morton Arboretum’s Wonder Woods course from our work on this course. We included a few extra photos from the shop not in the review. Always enjoy working with Minneapolis fabrication shops, especially dog-friendly ones!

The world of trees, insects, and the environment a The world of trees, insects, and the environment are explored in this fun mini golf course at the Morton Arboretum in Chicagoland. We worked on this course from start to finish and love how the gameplay, color scheme, and immersive environment bring together science, education, and play. See our new review of Mr. Tee playing the full course in Lisle, Illinois. Get out to play this one while you can this summer!

We got the chance to discover a newer Minnesota mi We got the chance to discover a newer Minnesota mini golf course, Blue Lagoon Mini Golf, while we worked on an artist-designed course at the Rochester Art Center. Our review of the course is up now! This newer Harris designed & built course is solid and a fantastic addition to the area. They’re running leagues, serving snacks (including ice cream!), and have great vibes.

After Mr. Tee’s first WAGM in the Czech Republic, After Mr. Tee’s first WAGM in the Czech Republic, he snuck in a minigolf stop in Prague at SK Oaza Praha before catching his flight. A tucked away rustic 18 lane eternit/Europabana course in a residential area. Took Mr. Tee a minute to find it and after a little help from google translate, he was able to convince the staff person on hand to let him play! Full review of the adventure up on the site now.

Mr. Tee’s fondness for Ball Fore Miniature Golf co Mr. Tee’s fondness for Ball Fore Miniature Golf comes through in the new review on the site. This baseball themed course south of downtown Chicago with alternating red, blue, and green turf and a customized muffler man at the entrance stands out amongst this style of course. As you can see in the review, Tom’s personal affection comes from a great experience in a tournament. Enjoy and more reviews to come soon!

Mr. Tee with an EGG-citing new review! Egg Harbor Mr. Tee with an EGG-citing new review! Egg Harbor Fun Park’s multi-colored surfaces and classic obstacles make it a solid mini golf option in the center of Door County, Wisconsin. A pleasant spot that is only slightly marred by those pesky metal-rimmed cups. A few classic features and a variety of game play more than make up it!
