Mini Golf & Go-Kart question - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

RW99 · 07-17-2007, 10:38 AM

I’m looking for a place for a few friends and I to play mini golf and came across two options, one at COP and one at Kart World. Has anyone been to the one at COP or have any recommendations? I used to go to one in Ottawa, kind of a glow in the dark jungle theme. Anything like that in Calgary?

I’m also interested in Go-Karting. Is the only option Kart World? Last time I was there years ago it was fairly run down. Has anyone been there recently?

Thanks a bunch

There's Shakers down in the SE but it's pretty dinky.

Just remember the only way to do go-karting is to be absolutely hammered.
Then when they tell you youre banned for a year after you just flipped your buddy on his head throwing him into the wall you can laugh your ass off!

For mini golf there's

Bowness Park - Map

Calaway Park - Map (I believe you need to pay park entrance + the mini golf)

Stone Creek Aventure Golf (personally I like this one)

Mini Golf in Canada Link

I really like the 18 hole putting green at RCGA, located near Deerfoot and Glenmore. It a lot of fun to go out with a group and hit the ball around, although there are no obstacles and it is on real grass, so it is something different but I found it a lot of fun.

Thanks a bunch for the minigolf info. Anyone have a recent experience with Kart World?

What's this? Is that like the one that used to be at Balzac? Any website for this one or it's actual name so I can look it up?

That would be my choice also.

Another vote for this one. The front 9 is fairly straight forward, but it does get a bit tricky on the back 9.

all the good go karting places are gone. ricky bob's and grand prix was fun same with the kart gardens that was by the airport.

I would think that with the population now at a million, there would be more speciality type of activities available. A high end mini-golf course like seen in Happy Gilmore would do some business.

shanks has mini golf.

COP is decent for mini golf, there is also a mini golf course very close to the Harvests Hills Golf Club off of Country Hills.

There's also mini golf at the Target Greens driving range on 16th Ave and 84th Street.

Indeed. It is for shenaniganery such as this that I am no longer welcome at Ricky Bob's Raceland.....

And why I'm a regular poster in the "I'm hungover at Work" thread....
