Centennial Lakes Mini Golf

★ 5

Wow!!! I just found the #1 Best Mini Golf Course in Minnesota. 10 out of 10. This is a “Real Grass” Mini Golf Course. Not sure why there aren’t more of these around. No wood walls, no brick walls, no rock walls, no gimmicks, just real putting on real grass. …and 100ft+ long holes to play on. Fantastic! This has just become my go to course. I want to live right next to this course. Enjoy…

Fun spot for a work team event or day date! Mini putt on real grass out in the open air in MN summer, what could be better?! Right by Southdale mall - so easy access to great restaurants and shops for food, drinks and shopping before and after!

Heads up…The Centennial Lakes Mini Golf is NOT a course for younger kids even though it is called “mini golf.” I would say 10 years old and older would be ideal. Pros: 1. Atmosphere is peaceful and lots of water features alongside the course. 2. The greens are very well kept and actual grass. Cons: 1. There are too many hazards for 5-8 year old kids and even adults. Almost ever hole we were trying to retrieve a ball. Even when the shot was a good one, it managed to roll into water, into rocks, or into boulders. 2. The holes are so long length wise that it encourages young golfers to raise their club and to wack really hard which isn’t what they should be doing which is putting. 3. We only played 12 holes of the 18. When we were leaving early, I told the young man that we were stopping because it just too hot and way too tough for young kids. I asked him if we could get our money back for our daughter who only played 2 holes. He said no. I said that it might be a good idea to put up a sign saying “not for young golfers.”He told me “it’s for all ages. I guess you guys shouldn’t have played.” Then he turned his back and walked away. It was a typical teenage response, and I told him that his boss might appreciate the feedback we gave. He shrugged his shoulders. I told him that we won’t be coming back and I asked for his name. I teach so I deal with teenagers all the time and am not phased…so I stayed cool. I felt that it was a waste of money for our family especially when there are better options close by. Ironically, when we were leaving, two older gentlemen were paying the teen. When the teenage boy turned his back, I saw the older gents each pocket 3 balls before they started playing and one said to the other “I hope that’s enough. I always lose so many here.”

If the weather is nice, this is the best choice for mini golf. Amazing atmosphere of bright green grass, ducks peacefully swimming in the pond, and safe walking trails. The mini golf course itself was somewhat bland without windmills or other objects you'd expect to see on a mini golf course, but it was in nice shape and a great experience.. worth the price.

While there are some other great ones—Golf Zone and Moose Mountain indoors, and Mcpete’s and Bison Creek outdoors, this is number one in the metro—I’ve played them all. The putting course is free if you pay for the regular 18 holes. It’s deceptively fast for mini golf and plays in difficult in any condition, rain or shine. Just remember to ask for an extra ball or two.

This was my first time playing putt putt on real grass. It is was a lot of fun. I wouldn’t recommend it for kids but I would do it again.

Great course for true putting practice although the grounds are pretty beat up.
