Miniature Golf Great Exercise

[TonyiaR7]

At Pine Creek Miniature Golf with woods, water, swamps, ... was a great place for us to spend this Sunday afternoon. I celebrated my birthday 2 years ago in September, where the grounds were in better shape. This time we did all 18 holes. Our son accompanied us, he had a better score than his parents, 60+ young, and I did remarkably better than last time. We were starting at a deficit. We worked in the yard the day before, my husband doing his thing - fixing the water hose; while my son and I worked on a neglected garden. Here is a nice seen on the course. We only had one ball fall in water this year. I guess this is why we made all 18 holes.😊

That sounds like fun & it's good exercise! My husband & I played in Branson a couple of years ago, & we got a workout!

Nice!

Very nice. You should look in your area. This place had two courses that were very scenic. And then a course that looked like the traditional mini-gold course on much smoothed area with flat grass (artificial turf).

The one near me has a small windmill, a 30' high lumberjack and a purple rhino.

It takes my mind off of bad putts.

😅The one you were at looks like a lovely garden.

[TonyiaR7 in reply to falalalala]

The landscaping is pretty all year long.

[falalalala in reply to TonyiaR7]

Have you been there in winter?

That is one of my favorite times to be outdoors, wipeouts and all.

[TonyiaR7 in reply to falalalala]

Many places are closed during winter.

[falalalala in reply to TonyiaR7]

That's too bad as it looks like a nice place for a winter walk.

so beautiful...wow so glad you had a great time...i have never done it but i bet it is a great way to get that needed exercise....enjoyed your photo....love and happiness is great ....

Yes. Last time I made it to 8 holes. This time I made 18 holes, but easier course. My husband misjudged a ledge as a step in one place. He rolled over and landed flat on his back. We didn't take a photo but everyone had a good laugh including the people waiting us to finish. I beat him by one point. Our son won with the lowest score; half of mine. It was nice. Maybe we do it again when both sons visit. I don't want to try those places with specials rooms with clues yet. Maybe when there is less people.

Very nice, looks like a great place to spend the day. Very green looking.

Pretty! Glad you had a good time 🎉

Nice cool day in the woods. Paths were paved with nice stepping stones. I had trouble with some humps in the course. I told my son I would only redo a hump twice. We made a rule if you moved your ball to continue you counted as a loss; energy conservation for both my husband and I.

[kdali in reply to TonyiaR7]

Great rule!

Looks like a lot of fun!!😀Leslie

Yes it was. The paths are wide enough for a wheel chair. I used my trekking poles to get around. The grassy areas were not as level and we took the easier course this time which was more worn out. This course I only lost ball in water once which my son retrieved. Otherwise we would have lost it forever. 🥰

Fun! I can't remember the last time I played mini golf. It's fun!

[TonyiaR7 in reply to mrsmike9]

Nice alternative outdoor activity. Still like hiking or walking east trails or visit flower gardens like Longwood Gardens, and other places. Great to do in spring or fall when not so hot. In summer on a moderate, over cast or cloudy day, is anther great time to go and do simple activities . That way it may be more humid, especially in the summer but the clouds protect us from extreme hot heat.

very beautiful!

[TonyiaR7 in reply to BlanketTime1]

Yes. Very pretty. All flowering trees started blooming. Plenty of pollen. But we all took allergy meds and nose spray before going. Nice family fun on a Sunday after church and brunch.

I used to take my Nephew miniature golfing when I lived in Florida.A lot of fun for all of us!
