Goofy Golf

A little tired and a little worn… but you can’t beat the price and it is still lots of fun for all ages. Two 18-​hole courses… the better of the two with moving «targets» (so to speak); that one, the more popular of the two, can get a little slow at times.

Fun cheap entertainment! It was $ 3 for adults to golf. I had a lot of fun worth the visit. It’s a little outdated but it adds to the character of the place. I will be back to golf with goofy golf.

I meant to write this sooner but never got around to it. This was supposed to be my first review in this area but recently I got to experience a similar attraction here in FWB that made Goofy Golf shine better.
Staff — ⁵⁄₅: pretty chill. easy process here — See salesperson, pay, play, stay outta other customers way.
Location — ³⁄₅: alright I’m not gonna lie. On the outside it seems sketchy. Go in, and you can see the structures on the holes have stood the test of time and the elements. But at the same time you can’t miss it there on Eglin.
Fun Factor: ⁴⁄₅: it’s something to do if you have a few $ in your pocket. I love how you either can start on A or B to prevent traffic.
Pricing– ⁵⁄₅: As I just said, a few dollars goes a long way here.
Overall ⁵⁄₅: I’ll never understand how it gets so packed in one afternoon but hey, it gets you out of the house away for a little. See for yourself!

Adorable janky little mini golf place. Absolutely worth the price, and so much fun! Only $ 3 per person! I love the lights and the bizzare courses. This is something you can’t find anywhere else!

If you want to see what Florida Tourism used to be like, before you were a name in a spreadsheet with how much Revenue Per Hour the Suits expect to extract from you and your Family, Goofy Golf is your place… There is a reason this place is written up in books like Dixie before Disney and Roadside America… That reason is it’s the good cheap kitschy fun that Florida was known for in the 50’s.60’s.70’s, before developers started bulldozing all these type attractions for Hotels and Condos… Four Generations of my family have been coming here and we still have a blast every time we show up. Goofy Golf was 50 cents for a kid and a 1.50 for an adult when I first started coming and now today it’s still only a 1.50 for a kid and 3.00 for an adult… Plus you can get a post round Slushie for 50 cents… You can bring a Family of four here cheaper than one can play at the Miniature Golf Course in Destin… Not much has changed at Goofy Golf in the 50+ years it’s been open… it still has 2 courses with Course 1 being the more difficult course of the two courses and Course 2 being more child friendly… both courses have the kitschy animals and obstacles that can bedevil you if your not putting well… happy to report the massive Dino is back guarding the place as well, locals paid for his restoration after he was knocked down by a storm and time… both courses share the 17^th and 18^th holes…17 is a blast as it’s straight up hill and you can swing your club like its a driver and just launch your golf ball. on more than one occasion I’ve sent my golf ball rocketing across Eglin Parkway… then you get to 18. the dreaded snakes mouth hole… you make a hole in one here and you win a free game… when I was a kid, I always tried to walk up and stuff it in the snakes mouth with my hand like I was the first kid that had ever thought of that, and not surprisingly the old man always caught me… I still get as excited as Nicklaus did when he sank the putt on 17 in The 86 Masters, when on the rare occasion I make it in the snakes mouth and I raise my putter in the same triumphant manner as well… one tip I will give you for snakes mouth success… much easier to make it by banking your ball off the rail instead of going straight at the mouth. I highly recommend coming to Goofy Golf for a day or night of good cheap family fun when you are sick of the beach. Yes she’s showing a little wear and tear around the edges after 50 years, but heck aren’t we all?

Have drove by this place for years and finally we decided to stop by and enjoy some putt putt style golf by only to be denied cause I didn’t have cash. What freakin establishment Doesent take debit card and Doesent have a sign visible from the road. I would have not been as mad if they had a Atm machine on the premises. Although now I know that next time we should bring cash I refuse to go there and give my money to people that don’t give a rats ass about updating their buisiness to the current times. It Doesent take much to had debit card capability. I see merchants selling stuff at flea markets and on the street corners with debit card readers. How hard is it to have this luxury for people that don’t carry cash with them all the time. So screw this place for wasting my time getting all 4 kids out the car and waiting in line for absolutely nothing.

I was visiting the Fort Walton area with my wife and 2 young daughters. My oldest daughter spotted this place the first day we were in town and would not be denied. We went in the early evening as the sun was starting to set and a nice breeze was blowing so the temperature mixed with the humidity wasn’t unbearable. We enjoyed Course 1 on this visit and we all had a blast until a group of boys got behind us and made us play faster than we wanted. The place is old and needs some updates but for the price you can’t beat it. We had so much fun we went back the next day. 3 stars for price and family fun. A few cosmetic and functionality improvements would easily land this place a consistent 4 stars.

I’ve been going here since I was a kid and it’s still a great place. It is a little out dated, but well kept.
Both courses are filled with fun and challenging obstacles. It’s more exciting than the typical beautifully landscaped un-​challenging putt putt courses you see today.
Prices are amazing, you can easily afford to bring your whole family even if you are on a budget (bring cash, they don’t take cards).

Great fun! Old time putt putt golf! Price is fantastic! We really enjoyed our time playing course 2.

CLOSES AT 9:15! Looked like fun but was not able to golf because they closed so early. 9:15 on a Friday night in the summer and they shut the doors. Wish I had the chance to try it out while in town.

A throw back to miniature golf. This place will give you and the kiddos fond memories. The pricing can’t be beat in this tourist town where they over charge for the littlest of things. Not here, its as if they kept the same pricing from when your grand parents were kids. Only tip is BRING CASH. They don’t take credit card.

We had an absolute blast! 2 adults and 4 children (ranging from 3 to 9 years old) couldn’t wait to return! Amazing value.

Me and my little guy had fun playing at goofy golf. Cash only! I passed my cc to the high school kid and gave me this funny look but was nice enough to point me to the nearest ATM. Perfect time of day was right before sunset, but the gnats were ridiculous so pack some bug spray. Only $ 3.00 for adults and %1.50 for kids 12 and under. The guy behind the counter let me know that course on the left by the dinosaur is a bit easier for the younger kids than the other one. It was pretty short but sometimes you just need one round in this summer humidity. It’s away from the touristy stuff and the parking is alright along the side street. Open 10am-9:30pm weather permitting, pretty cool spot. Will return.

Very fun and clean mini-​golf course. Well maintained. Very affordable … $ 3.00/adult, and $ 1.50/child for 18 holes. And there are 2 separate 18-​hole courses. Plus 50-​cent slushies (small size, but the kids love getting one after a game). Lots of fun! :)

This was so fun! It’s not near the beach, but it’s not too far inland. My husband and I went here twice while in Ft. Walton on vacation. (Ha!) There are 2 courses, and it’s $ 3 per adult per course. The first day, we played both, and on the last round, Chris won a free game (by getting a hole in one on the 18^th hole).
So the next day, the weather was STILL sucking (just not quite warm enough for the beach), so we went back to use our free pass. We just played one round this time, but I kind of wanted to play the other one again as well. LOL. It was cute and fun! If I lived nearby, I’d go every once in a while. The guys working there were really nice, too.
P. S. Kids are $ 1.50 per course.

It is like I woke up in 1971. This place is really cool and the price is right. I would recommend this to people with kids 9 and under. I will return!

I don’t have more to add, except that this place is pretty fabulous and fun. Everything was working when we played. They seem to take good care of it. We played course 2, with the windmill and Cyclops.

I played here when I was a little kid. I just came back with my child. Everything looks almost exactly like I remembered it.
Some of the moving parts appear not to be working anymore but the game is just as fun as ever. The giant frog, snake, octopus all look the same as I remember them (except now there are some facebook stickers scattered around). It was well-​worth the cheap price to play and introduce my child to it.

This place has become a family tradition whenever we visit the Ft. Walton Beach area to visit our Grandparents. For as long as I can remember, a trip to see them has also meant an obligatory round of Goofy Golf.
One year the family went without me and made me very sad by text messaging me pictures of their score card with my brother’s girlfriend’s (now wife) name on it instead of mine. Jerks. They mailed me a tshirt so I guess I should be thankful for that.
The last time we were there, Thanksgiving of 2010, my Grandpa nailed a beautifully perfect hole in one on the last hole and won a free pass. Haha. He’s like 91 years old.
I’m a really bad mini golfer so a fair amount of the holes here present great challenges for me. I’m hilariously bad.
I’ve probably nearly wet my pants from laughter here more times than I should admit.

I’ve been playing here for over 30 years. I love that it’s still around and I can bring my kids to play.
Your entire family will have a GREAT time for well under $ 10 out the door. Don’t pay out the nose for a night of putt-​putt somewhere else.
There are TWO 18 hole courses so be sure to do both.
I believe GG is cash only.
