Go off of the property and go to the pirate themed one just North of the Magic Kingom. Sooo much better and cheaper!

My DH & I *adore* minigolf and yet quite that one after about 4 holes because it was just too danged hard and got me REALLY pissed off. lol

However, if you want to do a Disney golf experience I would say do Fantasia Gardens. We did enjoy it. Winter/Summerland seems like an odd location to me, its kind of crammed in at the edge of Blizzard Beach with teh view of the parking lot.

Just my 2 cents!

One is like a your typical minature golf course with side bumper boards, etc. The other is like a real golf course, just smaller, so you can in fact putt off of the "fairway" and end up in the rough. No wooden sides to keep the ball in play. Don't know if it's still this way, but the "real" course was extremely fast - you'd lightly tap the ball and it would roll forever, up and down the hills and across the the slopes.

I was taken aback by the price of Fantasia Gardens but figured it was good for a one time thing. Pirates Cove can be played more than once a vacation.

They could use some swings and slides over at Fantasia Gardens, don't ya think vbdad?

Winter-Summerland -- both courses are very whimsical, but they're also much easier than Fantasia.
