We went back to our last time in the Jersey Shore We went back to our last time in the Jersey Shore to add and update a few reviews in Stone Harbor. We visited Harbor Golf Club Mini Golf and a few years back it changed over yet again to a course we’ll be keen to play on our next trip to the shore. It’s wild looking back at those early years reviews and that we played both felt and miniaturegolf (eternit) in the US on the same block, especially given there are none of these types of minigolf in the US today.

Ahoy! Mr. Tee’s splendid review of Spyglass Mini G Ahoy! Mr. Tee’s splendid review of Spyglass Mini Golf is now live. Sound effects, massive ships, caves, fun signs, and waterfalls make this one of the better pirate themed courses in Myrtle Beach, a town packed with seafaring themed courses. Played with Aaron & Lisa of O-Street after the Masters a bit back and feels fitting to post the day after the Masters finished this year. One of the several well above average spots to putt in Myrtle Beach.

Rarely get to visit mini golf built before 1950, b Rarely get to visit mini golf built before 1950, but we stumbled upon Rio Nido Pee Wee Golf by chance in the Sonoma Valley and had to document this course that was built in 1948. It’s still open & run by volunteers in the community to this day. Tucked between redwoods near the Russian River, this charming lil course was one we were glad to visit and hope to actually play at some point. More photos and words by Mr. Tee over on the site for your holiday weekend enjoyment!

Scale of Stingers is wild! In advance of the AMA t Scale of Stingers is wild! In advance of the AMA tournament in a few weeks, Mr. Tee got up a new review of this tri-colored turf monster of a course where the par is 53. Just north of Milwaukee, Stingers is a fun challenge with a great bar and clubhouse that includes a 19th hole where you can win a free game.

Jumping back a bit with this review of Congo Falls Jumping back a bit with this review of Congo Falls Lost City course on the Ocean City boardwalk on the Jersey Shore. Mr. Tee was joined by pals from The Putting Penguin and O-Street Mini Golf to navigate this adventure golf course that had strong Indiana Jones vibes. big apes and lots of fun features throughout the course. Reminded in this review how many fun courses are spread out across the Jersey Shore and definitely want to get back to play the other 2 courses in this facility.

An absolute stunner! The Adam course at Bowling BR An absolute stunner! The Adam course at Bowling BRNO is one of the most unique mini golf experiences in the world. Luxurious, challenging, fun, massive, and visually pleasing. Hits all the marks of what makes a superb course. Fitting to review (see more on the site!) this today when pals are competing on this course. 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!

Drive By review of Mr. Tee’s visit to the Putters Drive By review of Mr. Tee’s visit to the Putters mini golf experience at Urban Playground in Manchester, UK is now ready to enjoy! Unique tech-forward putting experience that feels custom-made for a group outing. Three different 9-hole courses with circus, carnival and “virtual escape” themes for you and your pals to enjoy. The proprietary putters and balls are like nothing we’ve seen before and you can use them in these fun environments where you’re trying to score more points than the others in your group.

First up for review is the green course where Mr. Tee enjoyed training with locals who are world champs and tried to compete in the weekly competitions with a kind group of retired folks. Also know to the public as Ädventyrsgolfen Granlo, this club has thousands of annual members who enjoy this beautiful course in an idyllic setting on nearly a daily basis. Built by CityGolf and immaculately maintained by the Söderlund family and members. Tom älskar den här banan. Hole-in-One #MiniGolf #Sweden #CityGolf #Sundsvall
Professional baseball meets mini golf! The Milwauk Professional baseball meets mini golf! The Milwaukee Brewers set the bar high for miniature golf at professional sports facilities. Mr. Tee visited this brand new course a few weeks ago on his way through town. This free to the public 6 hole course is cute, plays well, and a must if you’re in the area. This course is free and open to the public to enjoy! Full review is up. Swing by if you’re out at a ballgame or just bring your own putter and take a few laps around.
