From modern tech-infused courses to charming, classic throwbacks, the following spots are all holes in one.
Peter Pan Mini Golf, Austin
Never grow up at this putter’s classic, an Austin landmark since 1948 where huge storybook characters add whimsy to two 18-hole courses. From Captain Hook and Tinker Bell to the now-famous Texas Totem Pole and pumped-up Chuck Taylor All Star-style shoe, the outdoor course is a sight to behold and a joy to be on.
PopStroke, Various Locations
“Come for the golf, stay for the fun” is the motto for this North Texas oasis whose double-course location comes outfitted with a full-service restaurant and ice cream parlor and on-course service activated via the PopStroke app. When you’re not sinking putts, there’s cornhole, table tennis, and jumbotrons.
Monster Mini Golf, Various Locations
Great for families with little monsters, this glow-in-the-dark mini-golf spot runs 18 holes populated with hand-painted artwork and animated creatures who move, talk, and tell jokes. While putting through 18 holes, revelers are treated to trivia, tunes, and more via the Masters of Entertainment broadcasting live on Monster’s internal radio station.
Holey Moley, San Antonio
Holey Moley has multiple locations, but for those near the San Antonio River Walk, round up the posse for a night of wacky putts. The spot’s second claim to fame is karaoke, so no matter if your vocal skills are above or below par, everyone will get their time to shine.
The Dirdie Birdie, Austin
Bring your appetite to The Dirdie Birdie, a mini-golf-slash-restaurant hybrid serving up food and putts with a twist.

Monkey Rock, El Paso
This West Texas mainstay has a ton of family-friendly attractions, including bowling, an arcade, rock climbing, virtual reality gaming, and, of course, mini golf.

Puttery, The Colony
