We love this place!!! It maybe small but it's very clean, great putt designs, and friendly service. Would definitely recommend and will be going back read more

Friendly staff, The man at the front desk is great up beat & charismatic, cheapest on LBI, the cleanest course I have ever played in all of NJ read more

We went here for the first time last night and had a wonderful experience! The man at the front hut was so friendly and welcoming and made our night! It was extremely busy and crowded, which is to be expected during the summer. However, even with many groups it moved pretty quickly! All of the holes had cute obstacles and were fun to play. At the end they give everyone lollipops - which was a great addition! The atmosphere is one of the best in LBI in my opinion. They even gave an award for best dressed at the end of the round. Whenever we go mini golfing again, we will definitely come back here! read more

My family truly enjoyed Flamingo Golf. The holes were fun to play, everyone gets a fun golf ball to use. The price is very reasonable compared to others on LBI. This was our first time but we will make it a staple every time we visit. read more

Great family experience! Great for all ages. Reasonable priced so much fun! Highly recommend.

When the family wants to play mini gold on LBI - this is where we go. It gets crowded during the summer, but people are generally courteous and keep it moving. I always feel so nostalgic whenever we play mini golf at the beach. read more

This mini golf course is so fun and at $6 a person, it's a place you can't miss in Surf City. My boyfriend and I decided to stop by Flamingo around 9pm on a Saturday night and came with the expectation that it would be busy. We weren't wrong! But this didn't seem to hinder play and it was fun to watch the others in front of you attempt the hole first so you would have an idea of where to hit the ball and where not to. It took us around 45 minutes to complete our full round of 18 holes. Each hole was very unique and some had fun moving elements to make the course more challenging. At the last hole, you also have the ability to win a few free rounds or a t-shirt! Super fun activity for a weekend on LBI. read more

One more 5-star review for Flamingo! My family has gone to Flamingo for years and it never disappoints. There are currently 8 mini golf places at LBI - Flamingo is the best AND least expensive (we compiled a list). Interesting holes, fun obstacles, challenging shots. Just go here and have a great time. read more

Flamingo is where LBI plays mini golf. Contrary to other places i've mini golfed (outside LBI, of course) you are free to choose your length of putter, but one does not simply choose a ball - the "correct ball" is bestowed upon you. I don't know what the secret formula or complicated algorithm is, but everyone in my group always ends up with something they like. While out on the course, keep your ears open, as you may very well hear something along the lines of "mbmbmrkjg the person with mbmbirk the baseball mbmrlgh mini golf ball come to the [inaudible] for _____." I've never been called. I don't know what they win. I will find out at some point. ...someday. As implied above, the audio system is likely a relic from the day the place opened so unlike the boarding announcements at EWR you're going to have to pay pretty close attention. The course has its ups and downs in terms of difficulty - each hole commands a certain respect in order to achieve that magical hole in one. Time it right, read the breaks, and choke up on the putter. Even on those short putts...don't assume it's a gimme. At the same time, know when you're defeated. I don't remember what number it is, but the hole where the cup is literally two feet from the start but situated atop a 360-degree hill is either a grand slam or a hole max, and can make or break your game. At the end, you'll have the opportunity to hit your ball into an impossibly small hole for some free games (or a trophy, always take the trophy) and if you miss that, some less difficult but still challenging alternate holes for some coupons. Most times you'll end up missing all of them, however you'll always leave with a dum dum of your choice, easing the pain of your poor performance on 18. Go to Flamingo. Play mini golf. Set records. If you win, get ice cream after. If you lose, get ice cream after. read more

Affordable, retro fun with a side of super friendly service. What more could you ask for? Just bring cash!! (Btw there's an ATM across the street at Woodies). read more

Flamingo Golf Course - Flamingo mini golf at dusk - Golf Near Me - Ship Bottom, New Jersey

Very cool old school mini golf course. Went with my whole extended family and everyone had a blast!

Love their course! Old-school and challenging. Definitely a yearly stop for our family.

A definite MUST do if you're on LBI !!!! Exactly as I remember it from my youth living on the island. Brings back SOOOOOOO many fond childhood memories. Course is very very well kept for the amount of players it sees. Not one rip/tear in any of the astroturf on any of the 18 holes. Painted obstacles were in very good shape, no peeling or fading. Very challenging too. Just a great time!!! And only $5.00 per person, honestly how can you go wrong to play THE LBI staple of mini golf??!! read more

Flamingo Golf Course - Golf Near Me - Ship Bottom, New Jersey

This course is so much fun! Vintage obstacles and look and very well maintained. A favorite!

Flamingo Golf is the best course around. Friendly staff, very clean and you get a free lollipop after you play. It's a real hole in one.

Best miniature golf course on the island. Classic mini golf obstacles, and always clean. Great chances for some hole-in-one's. Usually pretty busy in the evening like most of the courses on the island, but last time we went after the tournament on Thursday morning and had the entire course to ourselves. read more

This is one of the best kept mini golf places we have been to. We go all over playing mini golf. Everything from the 2 gentlemen running the front until we finished our round of golf was great! My youngest really loved that all of the golf balls are different. He has not decided that he wants to play a round of golf with each ball!l we can't wait to return!! read more

Flamingo Golf is amazing! I visited recently during a trip to Long Beach Island and had an incredible time playing mini-golf under the sun. There are 17 holes and each one has a fun little spin/trick to it. There are rotating windmills, bridges, lighthouses, bowling balls, etc. And the last hole (which looks like a giant pinball machine) is extra special, since you get a trophy if you make it in. It's incredibly difficult and people who've been visiting this place for years say they've never gotten it in. I tried my best (but alas, it's really just luck, mostly), and did not make it in, but it was still fun to try. Oh, and though I failed quite miserably (it was my second time ever playing mini-golf), I got a "best dressed certificate." I found that hilarious :D read more

This place is fantastic. Note that I may be slightly biased since I did win the round of mini golf but seriously this place is so fun. It's beautifully constructed, and joy inducing fun. Highly recommend! read more

Best miniature golf course on Long Beach Island! Always has been...always will be! This is the 60 Year Anniversary!! read more

The mini golf course is a well kept classic course with a lot of unique obstacles at each hole. It's truly a test of your mini golf skill! The price is incredibly reasonable, and it's clear the owner loves the business and his customers. The golf balls have fun and unique patterns. You're also guaranteed a prize of some sort at the last hole, be it a trophy, discounted game, or a lollipop. It's definitely a great option for families, and a lot of fun! read more

We have played mini golf at four different places this week and this was our favorite. The course is fun and the owner was very nice.

Amazing place to be at! The owner is awesome, the courses are challenging, and the prices are extremely reasonable! It was so nice that I went two times during the week! Definitely recommend it to anyone down the shore!!!! read more

This is the BEST place for mini-golf on the island! The staff is SO friendly, the place is clean, and the course is fun! It is also VERY family friendly. There are lots of benches for sitting, everyone "wins" a lollipop... even the adults, and many of the holes have moving obstacles! Don't let the wait scare you away. I'd suggest going on a weekday if you are concern about waiting in line. It is definitely worth it! ------------------------- The the last time my husband and I went, we decided to go after a really nice dinner at a local restaurant so we were a little over dressed for mini-golf. We decided we didn't care, and headed to Flamingo Golf... Well, after we finished our game, we were presented with a certificate of "Best Dressed" at Flamingo Golf! It is the little touches like this that make Flamingo Golf such a great place! read more

The greatest miniature golf course on the planet. My father has been playing since he was five years old. I have been playing since around that age as well. The course is bar none the most unique, consistent, and exciting miniature golf course in the world. I have played it every day I have ever been on the island, and will continue to until I die. Can't wait to take my kids here. One day I will finally get the hole in one on Hole #18. Until then, it's a fight to get on the "Under 33 Club" leaderboard every summer in addition to the Thursday morning tournaments, that people take very seriously. There is no miniature golf course on the island that is even a quarter as good as this one. So don't waste your time trying out others. read more

Flamingo Golf is awesome!! The other half & I played through this past Sunday and we had a great time! Everything was so clean and very well maintained. I was glad to see they had their own little parking lot so I didn't have to fight for street parking. I also love that you get a little lollipop at the end, a pleasant surprise! The girl working the front desk was GREAT! She was so kind and so personable, I wish I had gotten her name. Girl at the entrance on Sunday at about 4pm, you're amazing! read more

It's pretty good mini golf. Each hole has a nice twist, but it's not too much out of the ordinary. It's a very safe, fun, quick, and fairly easy mini golf course. Reasonably priced at $5 per game. Cash only. No parking lot; you'll have to park on the street. Be careful when parking on the Boulevard. Staff are very friendly, and they hand out free games often. read more

Been playing this course since the age of 8 in 1966 and we're still returning to one of the highlights of the Jersey shore. Don't visit without a round of golf here and climb up Old Barney, both memory makers!!! Greg S. Kilauea, HI read more

This miniature golf course is very unusual for Long Beach Island. This is because all the obstacles on the holes are working properly and nothing is in disrepair or broken. It is not the most challenging course but it is not too easy either. This makes it great for younger players and fun for the family. read more

Awesome, the place to play mini golf on LBI. Really fun holes, most have a hole-in-one trick shot of some sort. Place hasn't changed much since the mid 80s, why mess with a great thing. Affordable as well! read more

We love this retro mini golf. It's everything you expect at mini golf, including fun obstacles and an 18th hole were you can win a free game. My whole family has a blast. read more

Best mini golf on LBI. We have been going here for decades. The owner is very friendly and so helpful. The course is spotless.

We played mini golf every day here and this is one of two (Hartland being the other) that we went back to for a 2nd game. It's a nice blench of hard putting holes and gimmicks like windmills and tunnels. There's a few spots on the course that don't dry well after a rain. But they keep the place clean. The 18th hole is one that you putt into a contraption to win free games and stuff. I don't usually like it when the "prize" at the end counts in the game, but it works. My son got the top hole, which counts as a hole in one, and the prize is either 5 free games or a trophy. He choose the trophy and got to put his name in the book. read more

Love this golf spot. Has not been updated in about 40 years but still one of my fav mini golf spots. It actually doesn't need to be updated. Very clean, and functional and still very fun. An lbi classic for shore. read more

We go almost every night . kids love it and the staff couldn't be friendlier great job flamingo golf team

Fun golf course, courteous owner! If this place is good enough for Ray Romano to mention on national TV, it's got to be good! The owner is funny and treats his customers with respect. If you get a hole-in-one on the last hole, a buzzer goes off and you win 5 free games! Highly recommended! read more

Super fun little course on the island. One of the best, in my opinion! Especially if you're looking for that old-school campy kind of feel. I've been to a few places that have basically just the same hole/layout over and over again with different adornments to make you think it's different than the last hole but really isn't. But Flamingo has unique and creative holes. And at just $5, what's not to like?! read more

Quite simply the most fun and customer friendly miniature golf course on the planet. From the kitschy but challenging and fun holes, bonus ball drawing for free round, the friendly staff and owner, no place better on the island. read more

Very clean and fun. Not overly expensive. Owner was walking around cleaning up leaves from the course. Many cool ball patterns to choose from: basketball, baseball, football, soccer etc. Fun little place, everyone gets a lollipop after playing. Will definitely go back. read more

Not super difficult, but challenging enough to be entertaining. Fun night out with the family in Ship Bottom. Always exciting when you win the five free games at the end. read more
