Best Mini Golf in Bradenton/Sarasota
One of the most loved activities in Florida is sharpening up on your putt-putt game. After all, it takes skill to successfully navigate through green hills, turning windmills, and cascading waterfalls on the course! Forest Properties residents are in for a treat since the Sarasota and Bradenton areas are filled with year-round miniature golf courses. Pick up your favorite neon golf ball and club for a few rounds at one of these local favorites spots!
Smuggler’s Cove
Let’s start off by highlighting one particular golf course that has not one, not two, but three locations near Forest Properties apartment buildings! Smuggler’s Cove is open 365 days a year between the hours of 9am-11pm, which gives avid mini golfers of Audubon Cove ample opportunity to squeeze in tee time. These courses feature 18 holes of adventure-style golf where players can navigate through caves, flowing waterfalls, friendly pirate ships, and even play alongside live alligators! In fact, each Smugglers location hosts an Educational American Alligator Exhibit which are home to 20-30 American Alligators.
