Indoor, outdoor, blacklight, on the rooftop, and up the side of a mountain — putt-putt comes in all shapes and sizes in the Great Smoky Mountains! No matter the weather, you can find a place to putt around while you’re in Pigeon Forge or neighboring Gatlinburg, Tennessee. As a fun and relatively inexpensive pastime, miniature golf is great for families with kids, a laid-back afternoon with a group of friends, or a romantic but casual date night for couples.
Each mini-golf course has its own unique style and theme, taking you to a fantasy world, through outhouses and hillbilly features, past waterfalls and a volcano, over to Old MacDonald’s Farm, and beyond! If you’re looking for some of the best places to go for a hole-in-one in Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg, then you’ve come to the right place. We’re featuring 12 fun locations where you can play mini-golf to your heart’s content in the Smokies!
1. Circus Golf
Easy to find on the Parkway in Gatlinburg, Circus Golf is a great little stop when you want to get out of the summer sun or winter winds for a bit. Step on in for a game of blacklight putt-putt indoors, surrounded by lights, circus performers, and elephants.
There are 18 fun holes (perfect for crazy family photos), and you’ll have a ball trying out fun and silly new shots! And because it’s located in the heart of Gatlinburg, it’s steps from tons of other attractions — including the Amazing Mirror Maze and Shoot ‘Em Up Cinema — shops, and sweet eateries where you can get fudge, candy apples, and more.
