Mini Golf

Get on out onto the wild frontier for a woodsy, western mini golf adventure. Trek into a shaded wilderness and putt under a covered wooden bridge and around tin roof cabins, pass by a thatched roof wishing well and a babbling brook and look out over the towering green pine trees.

So, head to the Activity Center, grab your clubs, golf balls and score cards and go enjoy!
