What visitors say

"This place is a classic. We come here every time we are at Big Bear, and have been coming for more than 10 years now. As some have pointed out, there are some bumps and patches, but that makes the course even more interesting. It's fun even for 80 years young grandma! Pro tip: Don't try to get the perfect score, just relax and have fun!"

"What a wonderfully fun experience to do miniature golf in such a beautiful setting! All the tall, beautiful pine trees surrounding you to block out the days hot sun was perfection. 18 holes and they're all challenging and fun! … Karen was just wonderful. Very friendly."

"Shade. Tons of it, very important in hot days in the altitude. Maintained well enough to keep it fun. Yes there is some tape here and there, but it still works. Good balance of types of holes, anthill, ramps, banks, multilevel, etc. … Price point is logical."
