We enjoyed our visit to Congo river on 04/19/25. The staff are enthusiastic and welcoming. The course was clean and theming was nice. They also have live alligators where you can feed them and also hold one. I do have some Critical feedback that doesn't affect my overall experience. 1. There are some dead spots where the ball can easily get stuck.

Amazing experience for families! Military discount Added fun spins to create and add complexity for older tweens Arcade, finding gem stones, holding gators, feeding turtles. Dippin dots What more could you ask for and Replays $12 BUCKS Great fate night too!

As an avid mini golfer who's mini golfed in many different states, this place is hands down the best place i've ever been. not only is very well maintained but super unique. lots of water falls and pools of water. the most unique thing is the alligator sanctuary right as you walk in from the parking lot. definitely recommend. they have a multitude of other activities as well for kids.

It was gorgeous with landscaping and multiple waterfalls. We had a great time and shot par on several holes. We had a chance to see /pet baby alligators with assistance from guide. We will come again!!

I'm enjoyed my time here. This is a nice and easy putt putt. If you're looking for challenging this is not it. However, the cosmetic appeal is nice. Having benched to sit while waiting was helpful as well.

Bonus =Alligators

Great Mini Golf and more! Feed alligators and pan for gemstones. Kept the kids busy for 2 hours! Very clean. Love this place.

Took my son here for a one on one birthday trip for his 13th birthday. We opted for the Ultimate Safari. THE ULTIMATE IS WORTH THE UPGRADE. We started with golf and had so much fun laughing at each hole. Then we did the gem dig. My son and I have always loved gem digs so it was fun. Then we fed and held the gators and finished in the arcade. Shout out to Gauge who was patient, knowledgeable and helpful. He made our day such a fun adventure and we couldn't have done it without him. When I went home and noticed the Bible verse on the score card I shouted Amen! It was nice to know this business has faith in our God like we do! All around it was an amazing day!

The kids had a blast! Not wheelchair friendly for my MIL, lots of hills and stairs. The kids really enjoyed feeding the gators after.

Loved meeting Jimmy The gator

So MUCH fun!!!!! The course was so beautiful with all the native plants. The staff was so incredibly kind and helpful. We loved the gators and all the extras like gem mining. We'd definitely come back.

What a great little place. Well kept and fun. Workers are friendly and helpful. I would give the place 5 stars if it was not located in such a strange place. Will be back

We decided to go Mini Golfing for a fun date night and we had so much fun! This is a great place for families or date nights or just a good time! There was 18 holes and it was pretty crowded so it took us a while to complete but we loved it. You can also pay to feed or pet the alligators, which we didn't do, but you can see them out front regardless!

Good, clean family FUN!! Nice quality mini-golf place. I literally live like 2 blocks from this place and have been driving by it for a couple months now and finally got the chance to go play! The kids working the counter were friendly and informative. The course is 18 holes and takes about 60-90 minutes to get through based on how quick you are as well as how busy the place is (a.k.a. How many people are ahead of you and how quickly THEY move). The evening we were here it was fairly busy. For the most part we only had to wait like 2-5 mins max for each hole. there was one hole we had to wait for like 8-10 mins, not sure what the hold-up was, but i think it was because the group ahead of us had like 8 people. The holes are fun, cutely decorated and each one is very different. Easy enough for both kids and adults alike. In a world of Covid, this is a GREAT opportunity to go have fun yet be outside and fairly distant from others. Day or night- it's open!! They also have concessions (i think mostly just drinks, if i recall correctly) and they have gators/turtles to view. You can pay to hold a gator. They keep the small ones (under 4 feet) and swap them out as they get older/bigger. Cost was fair. Discounts for older folks. FYI - you do have to go up and down stairs and at one point you have to walk a plank looking thing, so I would say this place is not ADA/wheelchair friendly, just as a side note. Oh! One other cool thing: they have an app you can download, so instead of keeping track of the score on the little piece of paper with a crappy pencil, you can just do it on your phone! Great idea! AWESOME place and I'll def be bringing out of town guests here for fun in the future. Highly recommended.

Holding alligator

Super fun course. Enjoyed the extra options of feeding and holding the baby alligators. Would definitely return if we ever vacation in Tampa again.

Very well maintained all around and the scavenger hunt and spinning disc challenges made it more interesting.

We laughed, acting silly, acted like kids (but we always do) The course was clean and the landscaping was well kept and lush. We will do it again for sure! Go have some fun :) See u Soon!

2.5 stars overall? Don't get it. This place is so much better than that. We saw the Yell score…read more but ignored the reviews and checked it out. So much to do!!! They've got mini golf, laser tag, bumper boats. batting cages, tramps, go karts, arcade....my god so much stuff!! Too much for one day but now we have an excuse to come back. Stack that fun card!! We decided to just do the mini golf today as we had a brewery to get to. Priorities on a Sunday ya know? We got our clubs and went to first hole. Where's the scorecard? Did you get it? No...I thought you did? What?? Four brains. Zero scorecards. Turns out it's on their app. That's what we get for being millennials. But the online scoring was perfect. Kept score. Did the maths very well. Better than we could have. We picked the difficult course because we feel like we're bad asses. Or maybe it was the pregame. Not sure. But that's what we did. But a really fun course. Lots of variety in the shots and the water features were very cool. Mini golf at its finest. Hungry? They've got foods. Thirsty? Yes..they have beers! It's a very kid friendly place tho so try not to do shots. Try. The rest of the place looks like it's def worth the return trip. Pure Florida. go kart track looks prime for some good driftin, arcade has some great games and all the other areas so we'll def be back!!

Our family had such a great time at this putt-putt course! From the moment we arrived, we were…read moreimpressed by how beautifully maintained the grounds were. Every hole was landscaped so nicely, making the course just as enjoyable to look at as it was to play. We visited around 6:00 p.m. While the Florida heat still had us melting like popsicles, there was plenty of shade throughout the course to make it comfortable. They also offer cold drinks for both kids and adults, and we loved the thoughtful touches like cup holders at each hole and plenty of benches for relaxing while waiting your turn. The course strikes the perfect balance, not too easy and not overly challenging. It really made it fun for players of all ages and skill levels. The scenic views along the way made the experience even more enjoyable, and there were plenty of opportunities to stop and take it all in. By the end of the game, our oldest child claimed victory by a single point, making for some fun family bragging rights! If you're looking for a clean, well-kept, family-friendly putt-putt course with beautiful scenery and thoughtful amenities, this one is definitely worth a visit. We had a fantastic time and would absolutely come back.

We have been all over the country to many put put courses and this was by far the worst. We went in…read morethe evening the course was dark on most the holes the lights didn't work. The water where there was some was stagnan. The course has potential to be great if the water features were working.

This is absolutely the coolest mini golf experience of my life. I've never experienced a mini golf…read moreestablishment that also offers an opportunity to feed their pet gators! These reptilians have quite the bite. We recommend gripping your fishing pole tightly. Once you've had fun feeding the alligators start your 18 hole mini golf experience that is pirate themed with running water, caves, and beautiful vegetation. The greens were in good working order. The presentation of the mini golf holes were fun and we used geometry to get holes in one. Definitely recommend this place. There are also drinks (alcoholic and nonalcoholic) for purchase as well as personalized golf balls. Sometimes there are coupons and that can help save some money. If you find yourself in Madeira Beach this is a fun option to break up your beach and pool time. Enjoy!

The people working were very helpful with sizing the clubs and finding the balls we wanted. The course is pretty big and laid out in a way that's easy to follow. The theming is also very cute with the pirates all around. The area with the gators is pretty smelly, but once you're past that it's a nice experience overall, and it's still fun to look at the gators!

Lots of trees and just nicely laid out. Our 2 year old grandson loved it. I have been to a lot of mini golf courses around Tampa and Pinellas County that are more kid friendly and what I mean by the is they have adventure thymes. I am in no way saying this is not a good place for kids it just seems more adult oriented. The price isn't bad, $30 for all day. You can go to one course leave and come back and play the harder course. Service was excellent at the front desk. I didn't get the young ladies name but she helped me with keeping it on the down low that my son was coming with my grandson. We had a great time. The courses are fun. My son and husband had 3 beers each and me and my grandson had ice cream. The price for all that wasn't bad either at $42. Go to a concert or game or even Busch Gardens and 1 beer is $14 or more. I have one cute video to share but my husband has some pictures that I can add soon. I do recommend going.
