Oh... the Fairways.
The hardest mini golf I've ever played.
We've played those courses, I think we need more pics of the Fairways before doing a report. My favorite mini golf for Disney is the Winter Summerland.

Hey, guess what? We bought a new camera. And I know just the thing to test it out on!

- By mini golf standards, this place ain't cheap. For Misty and I to play both courses set me back $50--and that was after a 10% Universal Orlando pass-holder discount.

- The courses themselves are quite nice, though the individual holes are a bit on the less-challenging side. I suspect this was on purpose, though--for the sake of capacity.

The mini golf was nice, I would have liked the holes to be more challenging but I'm picky. The Haunted side is the ADA side (for people who care) it is also the side where you may get slightly wet. I preferred the space theme mainly because I'm a nerd. In the Smisty scoring chart I give it an okay rating.

It looks completely different to the night time TR's I've seen so far. But it still looks decent enough to keep people entertained, and moving through.

Yayyy, glad to see you're back in action! Even though other people have done TR's of Hollywood Drive-In Golf , I seem to see new things in each persons TR, just like I did yours. I too am a mini-golf nerd, and I can't wait to check this out for myself.

I am loving these major theme park miniature golf courses (and your thread of course!). Do you have any plans to visit Fantasia Gardens or Fantasia Fairways? I'd be excited to see a report from you guys visiting those courses, particularly the Fairways.

Wow, a chocolate festival that actually has chocolate! Who'd have ever thought of that! Not the people in Alabama, unfortunately. Glad your chocolate festival actually had chocolate to partake of. Looks delicious!
