Looking to get out of the house and have fun with the family? Or perhaps you want to take a special someone out for a fun, unique date. Miniature golf is a great suggestion. Unfortunately, there aren't many places to play mini-golf in the Oklahoma City metro area; it's a dwindling business, it seems. But here is information on a few.
Celebration Station
Contact: 509 Westline Drive(405) 942-7888
Course Type: Outdoor/Elaborate
Cost: $6.50/18 holes, $8.50/36 holes, $4/children 6-10, Free/children under 6 with paying adults
Summary: Celebration Station ranks as one of the better places to take the kids in OKC, but the miniature golf is great for adults as well. There are 3 full 18-hole mini-golf courses at Celebration Station, and they are very well-designed, varied and challenging.
Lunar Mini Golf
Contact: 2501 W. Memorial Rd.(405) 749-2241
Course Type: Indoor/Simple
Cost:
Summary: In the west end of Quail Springs Mall is a unique twist on the traditional mini-golf experience. While the course is of a simple design, the vibrant colors under blacklight add some life to the party.
Update Note: Lunar Mini Golf has recently left Quail Springs Mall. Stay tuned for information on a new location if available.
Putt-A-Round (Edmond)
Contact: 601 S. Bryant Ave. (Edmond)(405) 844-8006
Course Type: Outdoor/Simple
Cost: $7/unlimited play, Free/Children under 5 with paid adult
Summary: The Putt-A-Round facility in Edmond is one of the better and more challenging around. The course is relatively simple, relying on design and terrain rather than gimmicky caricatures or devices. There's also an indoor game room and snack area.
Southwestern Miniature Golf
Contact: 6401 S. Western Ave.(405) 632-5484
Course Type: Outdoor/Simple
Cost: $5 per person for unlimited rounds
Summary: The Southwestern Skate Center is a family-owned and operated roller-skating facility that also has an outdoor mini-golf course. It's a traditional course with obstructions, ramps, etc.
Xtreme Mini Golf
Contact: 7000 Crossroads Blvd.(405) 631-2255
Course Type: Indoor
Cost: Call for pricing
Summary: Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to sample this spot in south OKC's Crossroads Mall, so I can't speak to its "extremity." But it could be a nice indoor diversion while shopping.
