Travel Our Yarmouth Mini-Golf Highway For Unexpected Adventures
What’s something you can do in the on and off-season around the Cape? Mini-golf: a Cape Cod signature. It’s been harder to have fun in 2020, but mini-golf is an easy way to keep your family entertained while social distancing. Destinations across Cape Cod have drastically updated their health and safety guidelines, and Mid-Cape mini-golf courses are no exception. Every stop on our mini-golf highway is doing its best to protect patrons from COVID-19 by implementing sanitation procedures. This includes, but is not limited to,
Disinfecting all surfaces, door handles, restrooms, putters, and golf balls
Not reusing golf pencils
Implementing various social distancing practices in the starter house and on the course
Encouraging guests to use credit cards instead of cash
With that being said, here is our official guide for conquering famous mini-golf spots all over Yarmouth. At the end of the post, we've also included scorecards for each of these courses to use during your tournament.
Pitstop #1: Wild Animal Lagoon
Wild Animal Lagoon is an 18-hole golf course that takes you on a safari adventure with gorillas, giraffes, and hippos overlooking your every stroke. This destination is easy to spot; you can't miss the crashed airplane visible on Route 28 leaving Hyannis.
This spot certainly puts an interesting twist on the game by including unique challenges and wildlife facts at each hole. But don’t get eaten - there are three more West Yarmouth courses to explore!
Admission fee: $10/person. Get $1 off here.
Hours: 9:00 am-9:00 pm Sunday through Thursday, and 9:00 am-10:00 pm on Friday and Saturday
Address: 62 Route 28, West Yarmouth, MA
Pitstop #2: Putter’s Paradise
Putter’s Paradise is a modest Cape Cod-themed course with a delicious ice cream and smoothie stand. Like Wild Animal Lagoon, there are visible landmarks that make it easy to find. One of these features is a giant white whale created by local artist T.J. Neil. The best part about Putter’s Paradise is that everyone gets a free replay, so the $9.50 admission fee per adult is actually $4.25 per person. Additionally, you can get a free round if you get a hole-in-one on the 18th hole.
Admission fee: $9.50/person with a free reply. Get $1 off here.
