I'll try to catch the Winter Summerland...or whatever it is called...next time!

Must admit that despite being a golfer I've never played the Fantasia Fairways course - it has always been Fantasia Gardens for us. Still a fun experience but I don't find so much to look at. It is cute but lacks the humor of Winter Summerland.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo I really enjoyed our game at Fantasia Gardens. Liking golf, mini golf, and Fantasia is very cool.

Originally Posted By Mr X Exactly how many mini-golf courses do they have? Are people talking different options at one place here? I always thought there was only two "places" at WDW to play mini-golf?? What are the prices like (just curious)?
Originally Posted By -em Yup there are just 2 courses but Fantasia gardens has traditional mini golf and then the fairways which is like "real" golf just on a small scale... I actually have played neither... I know I know and I even like mini golf...
Originally Posted By Doobie Hi X: Fantasia Gardens has 2 courses, a traditional mini golf and the fairways which are modeled on real golf with sand traps and sloping greens. Winter Summerland also has 2 courses - the summer side and the winter side. Both are traditional mini golf. Tickets are $12.52 for adults and $10.39 for children 3-9 (all prices include sales tax). A second round of golf can be played the same day for 50% off.

Annual Passholders get 50% off the price which makes it one of the better deals out there. You could do dinner at the Swan or Dolphin and walk across the street to Fantasia. That's what we did one year.

Originally Posted By nbodyhome I really love Fantasia Gardens. I don't think I have yet played the Fairways, but I would like to. I feel Winter/Summerland is too easy (for me, but I know others like it). I could have blown air onto the ball and it would have landed in the hole. Denise
