This definitely isn't…read moreyour typical miniature golf course--the mountainside setting and ride up to the courses make the experience memorable before you even hit your first ball. There are two different courses, and we started by playing the first one during the day. We had such a great time that instead of considering Hillbilly Golf checked off our Gatlinburg list, we decided we needed to come back and play the second course at night! I'm so glad we did. Playing during the day gave us a chance to really take in all the quirky Appalachian details and mountain setting, while returning after dark gave the experience a completely different atmosphere. It almost felt like getting two attractions in one. The courses are fun without taking themselves too seriously, and there are plenty of wonderfully unusual details along the way. It's the kind of attraction that reminds me why I enjoy traveling--sometimes the places that make you laugh and say, "We have to do that again!" become some of the best memories of the trip. If you're visiting Gatlinburg, put Hillbilly Golf on your list. And if you have the time, play both courses--one during the day and one at night!

But we never felt cooped up, unsafe or too on-the-edge. These guys had fun, positive attitudes and worked hard to make sure we had a good time. If you need anything on the course, you just call them (number is posted left and right) and they'll come right to you! Thanks for a great afternoon!!

The place is right next to the trolley stop and easy to spot. It was our first time ever playing mini golf, but we were determined to have a great time.

They have a QR code available to use their virtual app to keep scores, it was very easy to use and a great way to keep up with our scores.

Dan treated us so well and immersed us so much in the story! Do the Atlantis room for sure!! You can have as much as a little help as you want, and each puzzle felt so great to solve as long as everyone split up and figure things out. Definitely a must stop if you're in Gatlinburg!

The closed course looked to be the neater of the two courses. The one we had to do was nothing special and definitely not worth the $20 per person price. They didn't even have putting mats to place your balls and a lot of the holes seems to be sloping sideways down the mountain. With a name like Old Mountain Trail course you would think they'd be playing bluegrass or something, but no, they played dance music the entire time.

This place swindles. Do not buy gift cards from Tori…read more I visited Gatlins on October 6, 2023. The place was running a promotion for selling gift cards. I bought 4 gift cards to give to my family members as stocking stuffers for Christmas. Tori, the manager who assisted me with the sale, said that the gift cards would be honored for one year. Sadly, my family was not able to make our annual trip this year. I called to ask for a refund. When I purchased the gift Cards Tori told me specifically that I would be refunded if the gift cards were unable to be used. Tori wrote her name and number on the gift card, just in case the family was not able to travel to Gatlinburg When I called today to ask for the refund we agreed upon Tori and the other Manager said they were not able to issue a refund. I asked if they would issue the refund if I mailed the gift certificates back. She said they would not. I will be reporting this transaction to my credit card company. Do not buy gift cards from this establishment. If it was possible to give a lower rating I would.

Our kids loved the sea and mermaid theme. There's also an outdoor course that is pirate themed. There are several fun photo ops along the course. The space was colorful, clean and well maintained. I had to give up actually playing putt putt since I was keeping up with the kiddos, but the rest of my family really enjoyed the course. I loved that they had a very accessible restroom for those with kids. One of the stalls in the women's restroom had a changing table and a kid's potty seat! (Hopefully the same is available on the men's side.) My only recommendation for them would be to offer a step ladder for kids to reach the sinks and paper towels as an option for hand drying. Plenty of free parking, too!

Value = good. Experience = ok…read more We are used to playing at mini golf courses across the south, but this one just lacks the experience we are used to. The decorations are bland as the inside 18 holes is basically just a warehouse with painted fish hanging from the ceiling. The outside/upstairs 18 holes is slightly better with decorations, but the sound effects are on a 30 second loop. Hearing the same recording over and over again while playing gets old fast. Not on par with something like a Pirates Cove mini golf. In my opinion, there are better ones in the area.

Another guest commented that they were continued to bring guests up on the gondola until there was a lightening strike some distance away. There was no clear communication to guests. They were taking people down in 3 small buses on a one-lane road. Beyond the lack of management and any sort of emergency plan to evacuate several hundred, if not more, people. The entire operation is a giant cash grab. In order to do most of the activities, an additional fee is required. As the storm moved in, they were still taking people's money. Definitely there are better options for families in the Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge areas that are more reasonable in costs and better value. Wanted to have a good time. Left disappointed. No plans to come back. Not how I expected to be treated as a paying customer. Young employees not trained to respond to the situation. Just disappointing the unsafe conditions they put every family that was that was at Anakeeesta in. Just unprepared and unacceptable. There are other situations that require emergency responses, and I highly doubt they are prepared to respond.

The bright colors, the giant golf ball, the candy statues ... it's all very big and bright and sweet. It's candy-candy-candy indoors and out, as the putt-putt courses are candy-themed. There's also a candy store inside, and soft serve, and lots of sweets. It's a candy-lover's dream in here. It's like being in Candy Land, with golf clubs. So, there are two 18-hole golf courses here: one indoor, one outdoor. You can play one or the other, or both for slightly more. I personally liked the outdoor course the best because I like fresh air, but the indoor one is fun too, with dim lighting and fun music playing. As we were leaving, I noticed that there's also a miniature bowling alley here, as well as an escape room. Lots of fun to be had.

Decent ride, but not quite the thrill I expected…read more I chose the Lost Mine Mountain Coaster after checking out their website, which advertised the longest ride in the area and showed what looked like an immersive experience through dark structures. Turns out, those photos must've been taken at night--during the day, it's a much more straightforward ride. I went midday during the week after fall break, so the line was short and I got on quickly. The sleds are state-of-the-art with solid safety features, and the staff were friendly. The ride pulls you uphill, then lets you coast down at your own pace through a few twists and turns. At one point, I nearly came to a stop--probably to maintain spacing between sleds, though I didn't see anyone ahead of me. There are signs along the track warning that it ends in 100 feet, clearly meant to add a thrill, but they felt more gimmicky than exciting. The views were okay, but not particularly memorable compared to other mountain coasters I've ridden across the U.S. The website says the ride lasts over 9 minutes, but it didn't feel that long. Each sled has a camera so you can purchase a video of your ride afterward, which is a nice touch. Overall, it's a decent experience--especially if you've never been on a mountain coaster before--but seasoned riders might find it a bit tame.
