Review: Greatest Adventures Miniature Golf

This mini-golf course is located on Gretna Road near the Shoppes at Branson Meadows.  I purchased full day passes for both courses for a party of 4 from Groupon for $21.00. 

We parked at the back of the building.  The doorway was guarded by two knights.  We went in, turned in our Groupon voucher and got a scorecard and a pencil, as well as golf clubs and golf balls.  The manager's name was Scott and he was very nice.  He joked with us that we had a pass for 4 but there was only 3 in our party. (My daughter would have been the fourth, but she lives in Connecticut.)

The grounds are beautifully landscaped and well maintained.  I saw nothing broken or out of place.  There are plenty of parking spaces.  Hubby and son used the restroom facilities and they reported that everything was clean and well maintained. 



This mini-golf course has 2 separate 18 hole courses.  The first course has a medieval theme.  It features castles, a dragon, and a walk under waterfall.  The holes were a little challenging and it had been a while since I had played mini-golf, but I got the hang of it. 



We went inside and rested between courses.  We bought sodas, which were $2.00 each, the going rate for sodas in Branson.  Pizza is available for purchase, along with beer.  The mini-golf course is also available for birthday parties. The walls were decorated with local high school names and their mascots.  There are also tables outside where you sit and rest and add up your score.  Several of the holes had benches nearby to rest while you wait. 

The second 18 hole course had a Egyptian/jungle theme.  There was a sphinx, a gorilla and several holes that had "sand traps."  This course was not as difficult as the medieval course and I actually beat my husband and my son!  LOL! 















It was starting to get a little busy when we left, but it's not as busy as the mini-golf courses on the Strip and on Green Mountain Drive. This would be a good mini-golf course to take a large group to - you could split the group and one half of the group could play one course and the other half of the group to play the other course.  Then everyone could go inside and eat pizza together.

Our family enjoyed playing mini-golf here. Per their web site, this course was used for a professional mini-golf tournament in 2011.  I didn't know there was such a thing! If your family enjoys playing miniature golf, I would recommend that you go to Greatest Adventures Miniature Golf. 

Thanks for reading!  See you next time!
