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
Originally Posted By Chelledun I agree that Pirate's Cove is better and you can get a gold coin for a free game for a hole in one, at least you used to back when I was young! The theming is nicer too. 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!

Originally Posted By LadyandtheTramp Know that Fantasia Gardens is actually two minature golf courses.

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.

Originally Posted By wahooskipper Pirates Cove isn't Disney (I'm glad everything isn't Disney) but it is also not Disney pricing either. 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?
