Mini Golf

[JoseCuervo]

Does anyone know of any mini golf courses in Calgary other then at Shakers Family Fun Center?

[Kybosh]

I don't know the names but there is one at COP, one on the other side of the river beside a driving range in bowmont park and another one near the Harvest Hills golf course near Deerfoot.

Shanks- both south and NW have mini golf.

The two I know of are, one is in Bowness area, and another is in the NW before you leave Calgary. It would be in the outskirts of Harvest Hills, by the Harvest Hills golf course. They are both superb, the HH is especially good, and the Bowness one I find more challenging.

Edit: Yeah, what Kybosh said.

18 Hole Putting Course

The entire family will enjoy Alberta's first 18 hole par 72 all-grass putting course! Meandering the Bow River, the rock, sand and water features create a challenging golf experience. The course includes par 3s, 4s and 5s stretching nearly 2900 feet. The beautifully groomed bent grass putting surfaces are the same as you encounter on your favourite golf course. Night lighting allows you to enjoy a fun evening of golf.

Our putting course offers a great alternative golf outing ideal for social, corporate group events and birthday parties.

C.O.P has one. It's called Paskapoo Greens.

The RCGA also has a "putting course" that is kind of a neat version of minigolf because it's on real greens!

The one at COP is the best around. No windmills or anything, but it is more enjoyable then anything else i have played.

If you're really into mini golf, you have to hit up Kelowna's Scandia. It's well worth the 8 hour drive!

The one in Harvest Hills isn't too bad, better than Shakers, that's for sure.

Bumpity bump bump.

Has anyone played this, just wondering how it plays, fun, boring, different. A par 5 hole on a mini golf course intrigues me.

I really want a windmill style mini golf course in Calgary.

Also somebody, somewhere needs to make a Itchy and Scratchy mini golf course that replicates the one found in the Simpsons. That would be awesome.

I played it two summers ago and it was interesting for sure, not in the greatest shape, the bugs/mosquito's we're terrible and I got attacked by a bird. Other than that though, it was good.

I often wonder why there aren't awesome course things like that, could it be the inclimate weather maybe?

we used to bring our sand wedges to chip over bends and stuff, but i think they stopped allowing that. the real grass is nice though, just like putting on a real course. My 4 year old took me there for fathers day for our first round of golf together.

challenging though because of the length and layout, it's fun if you like golf and it's only 10bucks or so

We did that too, put just used our putters. Have to take a pretty good swing to get the ball through two patches of rough.

I am guessing the maintenance and mechanical costs would be alot, plus the ####ty weather would not help. To make it worth while in Calgary it would probably need to be indoors just so it could be used year round.

Scandia is a great time!
