- Dennis P3 contributionsFun day playing miniature golf.A great Putt Putt golf course. Excellent putting surface. Has some challenging holes. There are other things to do there as well, i.e. allegator feeding and holding. Personnel were very friendly and helpful. It is a great place to spend an afternoon. Melanie and Chris were very accommodating on our last day in Florida.Visited January 2024Traveled with familyWritten January 31, 2024
- alandF5680UDDublin, Ireland10 contributionsGreat miniature golf courseGreat mini golf course. Scavenger hunt throughout along with challenges throughout. You spin the wheel and it sets the challenge. Brought extra fun to an already fun activity. You can also feed and hold real alligatorsVisited January 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten January 31, 2024

- Shelby GOttawa, Canada4 contributionsMust see!! Incredible experience ❤️We had the best time! We fed baby gators, held a baby gator, fed koi fish, mined for gems and had the most incredible game of mini golf! The course is beautiful and so fun!! We all loved it 😍 thank you Kris and Joseph for an amazing night and tons of family memoriesVisited February 2024Traveled with familyWritten February 29, 2024
- Jenelle B1 contributionSuper Fun Mini Golf Course!My husband and I visited the location on International Drive yesterday night and had a great experience. The two gentlemen working were very friendly. The course has some challenging holes, each one was creative and fun. We got to feed the alligators and it was awesome. The gators were in good shape and looked healthy. If we lived in the area we would definitely go again.Visited March 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 10, 2024
- HarlanRegina_CanadaRegina, Canada66 contributionsA fun time and a good break from the theme parksLots of fun, friendly staff, alligators and more! Two 18-hole courses that were interesting and informative. Entertaining twists on some holes that you can incorporate into the game to add challenge, or ignore and play straight up. Facilities were clean and well-maintained. Alligators varying in size from about 40cm (16 inches) to 1.2m (4 feet) in length. Feeding or holding them carries a reasonable fee.Visited March 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 12, 2024
- Joanna HSanta Clarita, California2 contributionsAwesome Golf But Had More Fun Feeding Baby Alligators!Totally enjoyed the layout of each holes and waterfalls but had more fun feeding the baby alligators! Not being from the area, I was fascinated with these baby alligators! Codie, one of the employees, gave me an opportunity to feed the alligators for the first time in my life! She patiently answered all of our alligator questions! Codie was not only knowledgeable but also very kind and respectful as she interacted with us! She was the BEST! We’ll be back next time we’re in Orlando! Thank you!Visited February 2024Traveled with familyWritten March 16, 2024
- Patricia V68 contributionsGreat Mini Golf Course for all ages!We went on a wednesday in the mid afternoon and it was steady but not over crowded. The staff is friendly and helpful, but will try to upsell you on ALL the options like gator feeding and whatnot, when you first purchase your initial round of golf, and when you turn in your clubs, but they easily take no for an answer and aren't pushy, so all good. The wheel spinning adds a fun touch on some of the holes, and in general the course is in great condition! The astro turf is smooth and wasn't showing any signs of wear, all the stairs and bridges were in excellent shape. We'll likely be going back to do the 2nd course while we are here for the weekend!Visited March 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 20, 2024
- Richard M13 contributionsMy favourite adventure golfBest adventure golf I’ve ever done. Well thought out theme and challenging but fun holes. There’s also the opportunity to feed or hold baby alligators if you want a little something extra.Visited April 2024Traveled with familyWritten April 6, 2024
- Angela A7 contributionsDON’T MISS THIS!Best mini golf in all my travels! Grand theme. Clever set ups for each hole. Layered adventures: the game itself, a treasure hunt (jewels at #3), and wheel of fortune aspect at random holes. Multi-level. Shady spots. Nice views. Water features. Gators to feed. Kid-friendly. Merch fairly priced. Genial staff. Rita’s next door. Only suggestion: more games in arcade. A great adventure.Visited May 2024Traveled with friendsWritten May 22, 2024

Took my twin 3 year olds and they had a blast. Perfect family entertainment for about 3 hours. Beautiful, well kept grounds to create a unique experience. The prices were very reasonable. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Bathrooms were very clean and stocked. It wasn’t over crowded mid daytime on a weekday so we didn’t have a lot of waiting around for other groups to play. Feeding the alligators was separate but worth it for cheap $5-6 entertainment! We even got a coupon for $1 off to do that once done playing mini golf bc everyone got a little scratch off prize after our game. Highly recommend—best mini golf course in the area.

We have been coming here for 12 years since being on our honeymoon to n 2010! We finally were able to share this gem with our 5 year old and of course, they did not disappoint this year either!! It was near closing and we just stopped to show him the gators and we’re going to come at a better time the next day or so to play golf. Upon asking to feed the gators they said we could actually get our son the Ultimate package which included- gator feeding, arcade tokens, gem mining, his own golf ball, basketball shooting, and also holding Ralph, the live gator!! They let him do all of that right at closing and we felt no pressure to quickly move through each exciting experience. WOW! What a GREAT place with even better staff! He even got a kiss from the live gator plus a metal and button at the end of the adventure. MADE his night! We will keep coming back for years and years to come! Thanks to the wonderful staff for making this place an amazing place to visit time and time again!

We visited on a Sunday morning around 10am and we seemed to be the first ones there! The 18-hole course costs $18.10 (inc. tax). We did not opt for the “combo” which includes feeding the baby gators which costs more. If you like gators (or have zero experience with them), you may wish to do the combo. Staff were nice and welcoming and just let us be while playing. It was cute being able to choose the colour of your ball as well.
Pro: the course is fun! It suits all ages and is easy to navigate. The theme is also fun and it’s nicely decorated.
Con: there is not a lot of shade around the course so bring a hat and wear sunscreen. There are two water spray fans you go past while playing.
Tip: go early so you can take your time around the course. It’s great having no one behind you to not feel rushed!
Take away: recommend :)

Made the BIG mistake of paying for 2 18 hole rounds and kids adventures with the idea we would come back to play the second round. Lost the receipt and now out 60+ dollars. Complete lack of customer service to try and work something out. Kids had a blast hence 2 stars instead of a complete 0. Do NOT do rainchecks or depend on receipt with this place....or you will be out the money.

One of the best mini-golf experiences we have had. Course was fun to play. The spin the wheel options on certain holes gave you a fun experience, such as having to balance on one leg when putting. They also had an interaction with a small alligator. You got to hold the gator and take pictures. There was also a "scavenger hunt" you performed while playing. We will definitely be back.

We visited this evening, two adults and our 9 year old for a round of crazy golf amd signed our son up for the ultimate package, what a fantastic experience! The staff were super friendly and attentive, really polite and approachable (CJ amd Angel) the course was varied and very well maintained, great props and scenery with cooling fans. With our package we also got to feed the gators, hold one for photographs, have tokens for the arcade, we chose a souvenir golf ball, panned for gemstones and had free run time in the ubank basketball court. Overall, great value for money, we never felt rushed even holding the gator, the staff were informative and let us pet the gator and take as many pics as we wanted. Great fun, highly recommended.

We visited as a family of four with two nearly 13 year old girls. It really was a fun time. While we were there, there was also a group of 4 young men, a couple with a young child of about 4, an older family group with senior citizens.
We did one of the two golf circuits. There is an easy one and a more difficult one and you can do both if you like.
The course was really pleasant and fun, lots to look at on the way, lots of running water around and lovely scenery, rope bridges and caves.
We then chose to feed the alligators which is really worth doing - there were around 30 of them in the pool with a few terrapins/turtles. In a separate pool there are huge fish to feed (Koi?) - you’ll need change for the fish food dispenser.
We also paid for two ‘hold-an-alligator’ passes which was amazing!!! The other things that came in the package we bought on the day was a few tokens for the mini-amusement arcade they have, gem mining experience where you pour a bag of silt into a pan to find the gems. There were LOADS of gems to find and you get a leaflet to help you identify what they all are. We also did the paddle-boat trip although we kind of gave up on it as the paddles and steering were a little off for us on the day and at the time we chose to do it the heavens opened. If you are determined bunch they have ponchos on sale for $6.99 (at the time we went) and I wish my party had been a little more daring to re-try the boat later when the weather improved.
On the whole I would highly recommend this activity for family entertainment. While we were there the staff took a call for a kids party event so it must be a fun thing to do for local children.
The staff were friendly, enthusiastic and helpful. The restrooms were fragrant and well equipped which made it a pleasant experience for hand washing etc.
If you are from abroad/out of town, I would recommend wearing a hat and using a high factor sun screen as the courses are mostly out in the open under the hot sun (we are from the UK). There are fans blowing air and water in places along the way but it’s still a humid atmosphere. Also, maybe consider checking the weather and take ponchos with you in case of a short-lived shower of rain too. We experienced a short 5 minute long shower of rain but it in no way ruined our experience.
We were really pleased with the experience and would definitely recommend for families with kids of different ages, couples, friends.

At first my partner and I just saw some alligator’s over a section of fences, once I had looked around realised it had more to offer. You can have a hold of an alligator and take your own photos (no snake). Just in past the kiosk are more areas where you can feed the alligator’s, which I found enjoyable. You have a water section with turtles in as well but you don’t get to feed them. Further in again was a small basket ball court and then obviously you go in to play the golf. Sadly I didn’t get to play their golf due to no wheelchair access but apart from that one issue for any family it’s a wonderful experience for a reasonable price. Fully recommend checking this out, friendly and informative staff and easy located within walking distance from most hotels.

We liked the theming of the place, and it was really clean. Holes 1-9 are accessible, but 10-18 aren’t. So unfortunately we’re giving 3/5. Given Florida’s aging population and the number of disabled tourists… In 2022 we expect more.
We’d even asked as we could only play 1-9 could we pay half price, we were told no.

We played crazy gold, fed and held the alligators and it was about $90 for two people. It seems a lot but the crazy golf is an 18 hole course and looked the best out of all of them on international drive. With the alligator photo there was no rush and the guy also took photos as a group too. Would highly recommend this Crazy golf.

Does anyone know how much extra it is to hold an alligator please.
Written March 12, 2024
Not sure how much to just hold the alligator but we had 2 adults and our 4 year old to play golf then for him we added on alligator feeding, holding, gem mining, souvenir golf ball, arcade tokens and a game of ubanki hoops for around $65, can't remember the exact amount, hope that helps.
