Congo River Golf

We had good clubs with rubber handles and paid 10.99 for our children over 5 — the little ones were free. The course was well designed and well maintained and the kids loved the many challenges. Tickets to return on another occasion were $ 6. We enjoyed our 90 minute visit and will be back again!

This is truly a great putt putt course. There are multiple obstacles, hills, and watering holes. This course kept me on my feet. The weather was great, and the amusement was fun! It was reasonably affordable and the equipment was up to date. This is a great place to take the family or a first date!

Very nice mini golf location. Clean, fun, well-​maintained. Some cool holes; some hard holes but we had a blast overall. Don’t spend money on caiman feeding; they have been so over fed by the afternoon that all they want to do is sun!

Most of these reviews must be spam. $ 13 for a 10 year old to play on an average mini-​golf course? Please

Really neat mini golf course! Cory was very friendly. Alligator feeding was a nice bonus and unique. The additional safari hunt was cool and the kids won a prize for it. Overall one of the best mini golf experiences I have ever had. Look out for a groupon

Would you play $ 13 per person to play golf when you can pay a little more to play real golf? Extremely disappointed. A large group of us walked away. What happened to an affordable, fun family outing?

18 holes of increasingly difficult putting. The greens are clean and well maintained. The Congo theme is well staged with the wrecks of a jeep near a waterfall, and a small plane stuck nose down on a rock elevation. Games at each hole amp the interest, including a score card that challenges players to find props along the course. It’s possible to purchase a deeply discounted round for use at a future visit. It took two of us with an 8 year old about an hour to complete the course. An arcade, and a caiman & turtle feeding area kept our attention for another half hour. This course design is well shaded so even the brutal afternoon summer sun didn’t keep us out of the Congo,

I don’t know if I would ever give a mini golf course 5 stars because, let’s face it… the best it could get is a golf course where celebratory music and lights go off every time you make a hole in one.
Overall a good course to play; they have a few really challenging holes. It took us over an hour to finish the 18 holes because there was such a crowd. Even as we were leaving around 8:30 pm there was a line of people waiting to start the course.

We came here because it looked really cool from the street, with the lights, and over turned airplane. It’s a bit pricey, but you can find some discounts in the tourist magazines all over the city. Was it worth $ 30 for 2 people? Maybe.
The mini putt was fun, and challenging enough. Wish there were a bit more features, but it was fairly straight forward, and any adult would have an easy time with it. Kids would love it though. There are some signs that you can use to help screw over your partner which makes it fun. And I like the story you follow of this explorer.
There is an additional side scavenger hunt to find certain things around the course that can also keep you busy. Some were a bit vague. What do you win? More golfing, or a discount on the overpriced feeding activity.
I’m not sure I agree that these poor gators should be feed/​dangled store bought pre cooked hot dogs off a stick. I’m wondering if even the turtle pellets are healthier for them.

A really fun experience! The course is definitely challenging, but that’s what keeps it exciting. Really love the theme and music, a very peppy spot!
We went for night golfing and it did get a little too dark in some places, would be nice if there was some more lighting or you’ll have to come back during the day to get the full experience.
Highway nearby is super loud which kind of distracts from the music and game, but I guess I’m realizing that’s true of most of FL. Overall a really fun time! Absolutely would return.

Another great time here as a family /​still our #1 place to play while on vacation. Feeding the alligators is definitely worth the $. Staff super friendly tonight and very family oriented.

This place is our favorite. We like to take the little kiddos and cousins here on our way out to dinner. They love doing the scavenger hunt and the holes are creative and fun for all ages. This time we grabbed the $ 6 return play which is a great deal.

$ 13 per, check their website for $ 1 off. Very well kept. Very nice scenery. Clean. I’d say about 6 holes are really, really, cool! I’m a minigolf fanatic and there’s stuff I’ve never seen on a course. And the rest of the holes are just straight shots to the hole with bumps, curves, and rocks. I really look for a course that challenges and has lots of features, and many holes were just straightforward. There’s also a huge bottleneck at hole 15 because of the very long hole, waited probably ten minutes on a slow night. Nice people working, would go again, better than golf safari.
The people that say this is an impossibly tough course are overreacting and haven’t been to many mini golf places, but it is definitely better than most.

Best Mini-​Golf ever! Extremely advanced course in architecture. Extremely fun for all ages! A definite place to go.

My husband and I had a lot of fun here with our 3 and 4 year old boys. As some reviewers have stated, it is a little pricey, but it’s worth noting that children under 5 are free with each paid adult. So while my kids couldn’t actually follow putt putting rules at their age nor keep score, at the price of free for them, it was totally worth it. The holes here are unique and keep you interested. I was sure they would be bored of playing half way through but they actually were sad after seeing their balls forever disappear once completing the last hole!

UPDATE! We got the 7 day pass this visit. I mean, if I’m coming back, might as well save some dough.
This is by far the best putt putt golf course in the area. The people who designed this course paid close attention to details. They’ve even decorated the sidewalks with impressions of ferns and other plant life.
The course takes you through the journey of Stanley looking for Dr. Livingston. At each hole, it tells you a statement about what Stanley went through to find Livingston.
The one thing I really don’t like about this spot? The slow play! This place is popular and it shows. There’s always a line and often you have to wait at each hole before playing. As long as you go with the expectation of not rushing, you’ll be fine.

We are visiting from Chicago, and this is one of the best and also difficult mini golf courses I’ve ever been to. There are a lot of hills and slopes to screw you up, along with rivers. With 18 holes, you will be playing for a while (an hour or more for four people depending on how slow the people in front of you are).
Feeding the gators is hit or miss. This time, we spent $ 4+ for four pieces of sausage, and none of the gators wanted to eat it! They were all basking in the sun and sleeping! What a waste of money! The turtles were a bit more active, but they weren’t hungry either.
There is free parking in the parking lot.
The air hockey machine is kinda broken in the game room — it’s almost impossible to get the puck out of one side.

Still a good time! Still brought my own putter. 5 over par. Beat that!

This place is a ton of fun. They only have one course that’s 18 holes. There is a fair amount of stairs to climb which could be an issue with older guest. It is also possible to loose you ball in a few places. Grab an extra one if you can. It’s not always easy to get back to grab another one.

Balls out difficult course. Even the gimmes have crazy invisible breaks and little Aztec demons that toss your ball off the hole-​in-​one path.
$ 11 Adults, $ 9 Kids with $ 4 replay throughout the same day. Don’t imagine pulling a free game from acing the secret holes — this is a par 3 course sent from the gods to perplex and infuriate the most skilled players. Multi-​tier, zero guideline greens offer drops, shortcuts and pipelines near the final destination, but again!, do not expect a bunch of ones.
For the most part, Congo River follows the Commandments of Putt-​Putt:
1) When offered multiple paths, travel the middle.
2) If faced with a drop hole or a ramp, go for the hole.
3) There is no strategy for Plinko greens. Just putt and pray the rocks bounce in your favor.
4) If children are playing, don’t try to keep score.
The only dings come from crowd control. It’s a big vacation day and massive families decided to venture in to the sun and clog up my well-​oiled machine of victory. Standing twenty deep for a hole caused the need to re-​evaluate our starting point and even then, young ones anxious to swing a club did just that — in to my ankle. Can I get a mulligan and an electric dog collar for Timmy, please?
A nice little bonus on the scorecard: a treasure hunt that tasks golfers to find hidden relics along the course. Complete the game, name the holes housing the artifacts and get a scratch-​off ticket that offers you bupkis or a free round.
Guess who got the free round? Pays to discover.
