This was our first time here and we had a great time. New Year's Day, of course it was busy, but everything went smoothly. Everything was clean and everyone was very friendly and helpful! Someone definitely had fun creating this course, fun little details like leaves and fossil imprints in the cement, and the Stanley Livingston theme. Every couple of holes there was a wheel of fun, everyone spins, if you want, and it adds a little thing for every player to do for that hole. Just another way to add some entertainment. Towards the end you get up to the tree top and get a nice view of everything. I mean, it's just I-drive and some parking lots, but it's a nice change of scenery. There's also a small arcade and some basketball hoops, but we didn't use them. The gift shop is nice and great for visitors. They have live alligators, and you can feed them and get a picture holding them if you want. Being a Floridian, I've done that a few times, so I passed. Other than that, I think I covered it all. If you're looking for some mini golf and maybe some vacation stuff, this is a great place. read more

We had such a fun time playing 18 holes of adventure mini golf- complete with a scavenger hunt and spinners with instruction's to shake up game play along the way. The staff is friendly and fun and really seem to enjoy what they do. We got to feed juvenile alligators and my son was able to hold one, while we learned interesting facts about them. Definitely recommend this place for some outdoor Florida fun! read more

Great spot! My family and I had a blast this past weekend at Congo River Golf. The course itself is fun with a few challenges mixed in! There is also a scavenger hunt you can play along with during your round. Afterwards we opted to feed and pet some real live gators! Yes, LIVE gators! Our son was thrilled and I must say it was pretty cool! Combine a great experience with a super friendly staff and you have everything for a fun time! read more

We came for the first time during a private event and were very pleasantly surprised by how well maintained the mini golf course was and how friendly and caring the staff were. We heard that all staff are trained in handling the baby alligators, and being able to see, touch, and even hold one was a unique experience. While playing the course, we noticed the turf looked new and not worn. The decor was fairly elaborately themed, with a waterfall and several multi-level holes. It even had elevation, with steps that took you to a vantage point where you could look over the property and street from above. And every hole had convenient places to place your cups or scoring cards while playing. It was very clean and well maintained. This is a fun place to stop by for the alligators and have some quick fun. read more

A few shady spots under the super hot sun, this course was fun and very well maintained! 18 holes for about $18USD each. My only complaint is that the holes are all very short and not super creative with the obstacles. However, this course is super aesthetically pleasing! read more

We had the best time visiting here after getting rain and thunderstorms out of Aquatica for the day. The employees were friendly, and we had a great time playing mini golf, doing the scavenger hunt, playing the spin wheels along the course, and then, of course, holding a baby gator. My son was so excited to come here, and I would be back. He got a little award at the end for 'winning' and it was enjoyable for all of us. The course was fun with lots of spaces for sitting, there is an arcade, gift shop, and other things as well. read more

Highly recommend! Feeding/holding a gator was my favorite. But there was so much to do for a great price too. The workers were friendly & helpful which produced a lax cool experience read more

Congo River Golf was an amazing surprise for my daughter and me during my visit. We've played mini golf at almost all the locations around Orlando, but we had never tried Congo River. While having breakfast, I looked up mini golf options nearby and found Congo River. She was excited about the alligators and the pictures of some of the holes I found on Yelp. We decided to go there, and it turned out to be a fun course. She enjoyed playing and loved looking at everything around her, especially the chance to hold and feed an alligator. The staff was friendly and made her birthday that much more special, in a fun and cool atmosphere. With easy parking and a fun vibe, it was a great experience. Holding an alligator was a first for me; my daughter had done it on one of her field trips, but it was a blast and a first for me. The place was very well maintained, clean, and offered fair prices. I highly recommend it. Bring sun screen and water... but if you don't, they have it there as well as an arcade, ice cream, other treats and more. read more

We were looking for something low impact to do today with the grandparents, and decided to head down to play a round of mini golf. Of course the boys had to talk them into feeding the alligators too! It was a beautiful day, but a hot one. Everything started out smooth. We fed the gators and had moved onto a round of golf. But hole 13 was where our troubles started. My oldest started to show signs of heat exhaustion. Being from FL, I knew we had to get him seated and cooled off, so I took off running towards the front...which isn't easy from hole 13. As I'm climbing over the fence, a nice female worker went to stop me but quickly realized it was urgent. So she ushered me into the back and broke up a chunk of ice they have for the employees and wrapped it in a paper towel. Then she had the gentleman at the front get me a bottle of water so I could try and cool off my kid. A 3rd employee headed up to turn on the mister at that fan and make sure he was alright. EAs we made our way back down to the store, they sent him into the arcade to cool off some more. I truly hope the management team sees this. Your employees quick action helped save our fun day. A sincere thank you from this momma! Moral of the story - even when you take drinks, go slow. But just know if there is an emergency, this group will be extremely helpful! read more

Went on a Tuesday evening. The courses are challenging enough and fun. It has stairs and you get a nice view of the sky colors during sunset. It was $15.99 per person which is a decent price. The course is well kept, the staff is friendly. It is right next to a busy street but you almost forget when playing. There are also a few other activities like alligator feeding for an additional fee. They sell refreshments and a few snacks. Overall, a fun and chill mini golf experience read more

Every time I'm in Naples I always make it a point to bring my friends and family here! It's not only a beautiful mini golf place but the people working are always so nice and welcoming! They are always keeping the course very clean. Feeding the caymans and turtles at the end is a must! Definitely recommend this place if you're in the area! read more

Easy and challenging course. They have a scavenger hunt. They open at 1100 so is best to be the first one and get it on.

My kids had a great time here. Probably even better than their visit to Universal studios lol. The mini golf course is nice with all the water features, interesting and challenging/fun, not boring at all. The kids had a great experience feeding and holding the alligators. I highly recommend!!! Ohh... forgot to add ALL THE STAFF were AMAZING, so polite, energetic, enthusiastic, helpful!!! It was an awesome experience because sadly service now a days can be so lacking. You guys are doing amazing, the owners should be proud! read more

Course was well maintained and service was great. Outside of 93 at 9pm and high humidity from the rain earlier, would have been perfect.

I had the best time here tonight with my parents. They're in their 60s and still able to get around and walk up stairs etc, so they had a great time too. This place is not wheelchair friendly FYI The attendant was nice enough to ask where we were from. I'm sure they get a lot of tourists. We told him Orlando! He asked for our IDs and gave us a resident discount! That was so unexpected. We saved $2 per person. So the usual rate is $13.99 for just golf, but $11.99 for residents. Nice! We grabbed our putters and chose our balls. The putters were in great shape and there were plenty of putters in variable lengths. They had 6-8 different color balls. I went with light green, dad with light blue and mom with yellow. We were given a scorecard and informed about the scavenger hunt. Heads up- they have these spinners scattered throughout the course. You gotta use them! It made mom use her foot to hit the ball and I had to use the club upside down and dad had got to move his ball a club's length, among other results. The spinners are not on every hole but they make the game even more fun! Spin before you putt and do whatever it lands on. We made it through 18 holes in just over an hour. Par is 44. Dad and I tied at 55, despite my hole in one. Mom got 63. The course has a lot of stairs and hills so wear appropriate shoes. The waterfalls and gators were awesome. We took a lot of pictures. I imagine kids would love this place. They have some package deals where you can feed a gator or hold one, play basketball games on their crazy basketball hoop course, etc. There is a small arcade, gift shop, pay lockers, and bathrooms. They have vending machines on the course but it's very overpriced. A bottle of Dasani was $3. Parking was free. It wasn't that busy. I was surprised. Maybe because there is another good course nearby? Either way, we had a blast and we appreciate the staff providing us a resident discount. Thank you Congo River! read more

My wife wanted to take the kids to go miniature golfing and I found Congo River Golf & Exploration right near our hotel. The reviews here were good so I thought this would be a great place to try out this past Saturday. The staff here were very friendly and helpful. We thought the kids would enjoy feeding the gators, so we purchased a pack of freeze dried chicken and it comes with 2 vitamins for the gators and they sell it for like $5 bucks. Feeding the alligators was not easy and you only get about 5-6 small cubes of dried chicken, but the kids enjoyed it. We all played miniature golf and had a great time. The course was very clean and well maintained and was not too easy. I was able to get two hole in ones and my 7 year old son did as well and boy was he so happy. Throughout playing the 18 holes player's adventure out by look for certain items on the course (hat, mask, spear, snake and shield) and you mark what hole you saw those items on and when you are finished with your game, the card is turned on. If you locate all the items on the course with the correct hole number, you get a card that gets you either a few dollars off or 50% discount towards your next round of golf. Overall, we had a great time here. The prices seem competitive with what is nearby and all the staff here was great, which goes a long way. As we were leaving one of the ladies gave each of my kids a ribbon for completing the course and that made their day. I would definitely recommend coming here for miniature golf.

Can't go wrong with the Congo River "chain" mini-golf courses. Went this time with the wife and family and did the deluxe package that includes lots of extras like gator feeding/holding, banking basketball, arcade tokens, and more. The course itself is great, as all of the Congo River courses are. Mostly well-maintained, though certain areas need touching up, like fixing the "stream" hole that is supposed to almost guarantee a hole-in-one. For some reason all shots hit into the stream don't get caught by the grate like they're supposed to. The back half of the course has some really challenging holes and verticality. The extras are also a good deal if you get them all in the package. Feeding the baby alligators is fun, the banking basketball game is enjoyable, and sluicing for "gems" is some more hands-on charm. The people working were also very accommodating and didn't rush my wife at all when it came time to hold the baby alligator. Come at night for less crowds and no sun. There's only shade in the first few holes of the course, so if you try going through it on a hot summer Orlando day, you're asking for trouble. read more

My buddy's and I needed something mild after going to the bar. Mini golf seemed to be the best answer. This place seemed cool with it's live gators and treasure hunt. We felt lame because although we really did try hard, we just couldn't find the snake or the mask. And no, it wasn't the alcohol because I was sober. Great small mini golf course...challenging scavenger hunt. P.S The snake is on the tomb and the mask is in the tree! read more

Jonathan was great! he was our tour guide and made sure we had a good time and finished all the holes!

Very clean. Staff was super friendly! Courses were entertaining for all ages, will definitely go back.

Thought it was a great market cornered piece of traditional entertainment. Great customer service, and friendly people. Kid friendly. A little expensive but is to be expected at Orlando. 48$ got you a 18 hole mini golf session, holding an alligator, feeding an alligator, feeding the coy fish, short time in the arcade, a traditional mine style gem find, and a free golf ball. Spent 175$ for the 5 people in my family and as much as a tight wad I am, I was happily impressed with the value. Would recommend! read more

I went mini golfing here as a date (on a Wednesday evening). It was a great time. The course is very fun and interactive, lot of different levels and obstacles. There's an additional scavenger hunt where you have to find 5 or 6 items throughout the course (it's harder than you think! We missed 2). When I went with my date we were the only ones there for a while, then we saw 3 other parties come in. Since we were the only ones there we didn't have to wear masks and the other parties that ended up coming weren't close to us. read more

My boyfriend and I had such a great time here! We came on a Monday afternoon and it wasn't busy at all. We bought the ticket with a gold game and feeding alligators (the other option is Ubanki ball that looked like a basketball game). The worker was very nice and explained everything. The actual scenery and set up of the course is AMAZING! So much detail in each and every whole. The course is challenging in some spots but overall extremely fun. They even include a treasure hunt where you spot different artifacts as you go (if you find them all, you get a prize!) Afterwards we fed the alligators, which was quite an experience! They may be babies, but they are STRONG! I'm so glad we chose Congo River!!! read more

We loved Congo River Golf! It was fun to have live alligators there. Not only do you golf but you are doing a treasure hunt at the same time. We loved the additional activity to do while playing the course. There was also a fun spin wheel on certain holes you could spin and golf that hole according to the what you spun (ex. Take your first swing with your eyes closed, use the top of your club to hit the ball on your first swing, etc.) it just made it a little more exciting! read more
