Universal Orlando opens its mini-golf courses at City Walk

That is completely awesome. Sign me up. I want to play!

I'm a bit of a mini-golf connoisseur. I hope I get to play these courses someday, especially the monster movie-themed one.

I prefer the real golf courses that actually take athletic ability and skill. There are a lot of those in Florida also. It's always enjoyable to walk and get some exercise on those. I just wish that my score would reflect that sometimes. lol.

The pictures and videos that I've seen have me excited to check this out. With any luck I'll be doing it tomorrow sometime.

We'll hit at least one of these this June, I'm guessing.

I'll be making my inaugural visit to BGT and USH/IoA the second week of May. Will definitely have to add these courses to the list!

Some of my best childhood memories were playing as a very small child, and I look forward to doing the same with my boy in a couple of years. I think this is also something that City Walk definitely needed, because the entire family can get involved.

Its cute, but it feels weird that a part of it is under the (humongous) entrance walkway. I absolutely suck at golf and I feel like I suck even more that people can watch from above.

The great thing about mini golf is that you don't have to be good. Most people suck.

At golf.

Mimi-golf always sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun. Then I start playing and having a good time, but by hole 12 or 13 I'm wishing it was over with.

Happens every time.

I need to find a 9-hole mini-golf place.

I've been watching for this to open. It looks fantastic. It seems a little short though. I was wondering how they were going to fit all of that in the empty pace under the walking bridge.

There's one in Bayonne where I live. Not particularly challenging or scenic, but it's better than the one at Rye Playland (if that's still there.)

I only go play mini golf to see the hoochies. ;)

My non-scientific walk by observations tell you all, should you choose to golf, you will be the first. Remarkably unvisited thus far.

Well, we're squished between Mardi Gras and spring break, so I would think it's not busy.

This happens to me too. It is even worse when you have to wait at EVERY hole. There has to be a play-through up-charge potential...:)

The same thing happens on those zipline courses. They always look fun...by the end you are just trying to stay awake.

I'm with you guys on the mini-golf (I mostly play for my kids, unless the course is *really* interesting), but the zipline course I did in Alaska was up there as one of the best vacation activities of all time. That's probably largely due to the setting, which was stunning.

The setting definitely matters. We had a morale event at my last job at a mini-course at a country club, up in the hills overlooking Seattle. It was incredible, and not just because of the free beer.

It's been very busy in all the Orlando parks, hasn't really slowed down in 2012 yet. Don't get me wrong, the course looks awesome, just haven't seen anyone playing yet, could be my time of day as well (afternoon/early evening.)

Heading in to throw beads at Universal's Mardi Gras tonight and will take a look then.
