Outdoor mini golf
I’m looking for outdoor mini golf to take a couple of young kids, but really just want mini golf. Not a restaurant, not other carnival activities, or other gimmicks.
Any suggestions for just mini golf?
If you are looking for outdoor mini golf in Scottsdale, Arizona, specifically focused on just the mini golf experience without restaurants, carnival rides, or other gimmicks, your options are somewhat limited because many entertainment venues in the area combine multiple activities. However, there are a few places that emphasize traditional mini golf courses and are suitable for young kids.
Recommended outdoor mini golf options in and around Scottsdale:
- Golfland Sunsplash (Mesa, AZ) – While it is a larger amusement center, it has dedicated outdoor mini golf courses that are well-maintained and kid-friendly. You can focus solely on the mini golf aspect without engaging in the other rides and attractions.
- Castles N’ Coasters (Phoenix, AZ) – This venue includes multiple outdoor mini golf courses designed in traditional castle-themed settings. You can choose to just enjoy the mini golf without using the rides or other attractions.
- Safari Mini Golf (Tempe, AZ) – This is a smaller, safari-themed mini golf course that is primarily just mini golf. It’s more intimate and kid-friendly compared to large amusement complexes.
Tips for a mini golf-focused visit:
- Check the course layout online or call ahead to ensure there are no additional attractions you want to avoid.
- Plan your visit during less busy hours to allow young kids to enjoy the course without feeling rushed or crowded.
- Bring water, sunscreen, and hats as most of the courses are outdoor and Arizona sun can be strong.
In summary, while Scottsdale itself has limited standalone outdoor mini golf venues, nearby Mesa, Tempe, and Phoenix offer traditional courses where the focus can remain on just mini golf. Choosing smaller or dedicated mini golf courses will help ensure the experience is simple, engaging, and appropriate for young kids.
