2 Words: Ghetto FABULOUS

It is a family tradition to come here every time we visit the island. I love this place, it hasn't changed since I was a kid which is the most charming thing about it in my opinion. Most of the construction is with concrete and brinks, no bells and whistles.  Signs are hand painted, it's adorable. Don't underestimate it just because of the simple looking facade, this is no walk in the golf course, its tough!

The whole course is shaded by trees. It's just really beautiful! One thing that cracks me up about this place is once in awhile you'll look in a bush and see some junk lying in it..like golf course left overs. it's rad - ghetto-fab.

This is the definition of perfection.  If you like miniature golf, you'll like this place.  If you like tourist attractions that are more than tourist attractions, you'll like this place.  If you like the fact that someone put a great deal of thought into a miniature-golf course, you'll like this place.

It's expensive, but so is Catalina.  If you've gotta be in Avalon, you can do a lot more boring than spending an hour playing some premiere miniature golf.

Mini golf is fun and frustrating.  This best describes this mini golf course, me being a novice and all but it's all good.

Not a single tour guide or book features this awesome little 18-hole apparently award-winning miniature golf course, but if you are in sleepy little Avalon, you HAVE to come here.

Its the best and I TOTALLY got a hole-in-one, which SOMEONE didn't and was very jealous about. They usually charge $7 but since it was windy and there was some debris on the course, they only charged us $4 per person. yay!

I LOVE the golf course!!! I went there this past August and it was down the street from the hotel. After passing it by for a few days, we decided to play and it was so fun. The 18 holes are creatively done and very adorable!!! There's multi- leveled ones and ones with slopes. Every time I go back to Catalina, I will have to stop by here and play a round!!

We had so much fun playing golf here we played 36 straight holes!

The whole place it totally old skool, no fancy windmills or anything just good old fashined mini-golf.  And you can't beat the price, I think we paid $5 a round and had a blast!

Great mini golf course. Untraditional in that there are no mini houses, castles, pendulums, or what have you, but there is a spiral par 6 hole, plenty of nice cats that wander around but stay out of your way, and a veritable forest of trees throughout the property. Shows its age a little but a fantastic place to putt-putt nonetheless.

A CLASSIC!  By far the coolest mini-golf anywhere. We actually live across the street from it and it is my son's favorite place to go.

Definitely a must-do for a lazy afternoon when you have already done everything else there is to do here!
