Miniature golf is a great family outing. It works for practically all ages and skill levels. It’s a fun activity for adults and kids alike. And we’ve had some of our best family bonding moments delighting in the discovery of new courses, cheering on our holes in one and playfully heckling each other over bizarre putting techniques (or maybe that last one is just my family???). Over our years of blogging, we’ve visited quite a few of these CT destinations. So we thought it might be helpful to our readers (and to us!) to start keeping track of them all in one place 🙂
So today we bring you: Our BIG list of mini golf courses in Connecticut. These courses are each distinct, but they all have one thing in common: we’ve been there, we’ve done that, we’ve loved it, and we think you will too! That is what makes this site so unique. We don’t just give you a list of places. All our recommendations come with firsthand knowledge and experience! And pictures. So many pictures. We hope you enjoy learning about our favorite CT miniature gold courses. And we hope this list helps you create wonderful family memories too!
1. Putt among the life-sized animal statues (hello photo ops!) as you conquer the greens at Safari Golf in Berlin. **LIFE-SIZED ANIMALS**
2. Follow up your round of gold with a scoop of delicious ice cream at Farmington Mini Golf. **ICE CREAM PARLOR!**
3. Take a trip across Switzerland without ever leaving Connecticut at Matterhorn Mini Golf in Canton. **STROLLER-FRIENDLY!**

5. Encounter animated dinosaurs and other prehistoric paraphernalia at T-Rex Mini Golf in Thompson. **MOVING DINOS!**
6. Choose the “fun” or the “challenging” course (and then follow either one up with a ride on the bumper boats and go karts!) at the Berlin Batting Cages. **KARTS & BOATS TOO!**
7. Mini golf is just one of the many entertainment options available at Sonny’s Place in Sommers. **GIANT PLAYSCAPE!**
