Mini Golf In / Around Disneyland Resort

On vacation, I usually play a round of Mini golf just for nostalgia. What are the best mini golf courses in and around Disneyland Resort?

Nearest mini golf course is Camelot at 3200 E. Carpenter Ave, Anaheim, CA 92806. It's decent with around five courses as well as a decent arcade, laser tag, and a decent cafe with pizza and stuff (and monsterous sized drinks).

Re: Mini Golf In / Around Disneyland Resort

Camelot is an excellent minigolf course which has 5 award winning courses as voted by the Travel Channel along with 4 water slides, Laser Tag, and an expansive arcade. The courses are well maintained and lots of fun.

If you want to take a bit of a ride then head to Riverside's Castle Park for the most amazing miniature golf course I've ever seen. It blows away Camelot's, and even has peacocks wandering the grounds.

I say Camelot Golfland too. It's a fun place with friendly service and magical surroundings.
The address and phone number are 3200 E Carpenter Ave, Anaheim, CA‎ - (714) 630-3340.

While you're there have your pre-tween kids go on the Antique Car ride, which was the old Tijuana Taxi at Knott's before Knott's decided to go coaster crazy and rip out some of the old fun attractions. The guy who founded Castle Park used to work at Knott's and helped design the Log Ride and Calico Mine Train. You can still see some of that nice theming at Castle Park but much of it has dissipated over time with new management. The mini golf course is still superb though it could use a nice refurb. Still, I think you'll have a fun outing.

Not only does it have peacocks, it has roaches the size of small dogs. We went once and never, ever returned.

Re: Mini Golf In / Around Disneyland Resort

The next closest mini golf course is Boomer's in Fountain Valley, at the 405 and Magnolia. It's closer to the DLR than Castle Park but it doesn't have cool rides just a slick track, batting cages, and an arcade. But it's really fun and for a while was the only mini golf course in OC south of Anaheim.

Not only are the old Tijuana Taxi's there, but so in the miniature train that used to go around Jungle Island. There are still Disney, Knott's, and USH logos all over it!

They also have one of the only 3 story Ghost Blasters Dark rides. It's an upcharge, and while it's not the best, it's certainly worth at least one ride! I think Castle Park in general is clean, well kept, and a good place to take the family.

And I also echo the sentiment that they have the best Mini-Golf course in the local area by far.

As far as Camelot goes, I personally think it's gone downhill a bit. It was never really the same after they took out the maze... I used to love that thing!
