All of the courses at Bowling BRNO combine to make this one of the best facilities for adventure golf in the world but this is Mr. Tee’s favorite there. Bravo!

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!
