Long day at the park? No worries… In fact, I don’t think I have ever played mini-golf here before 9 pm. This course stays open until 11pm year-round which means after you are exhausted from a long day at the parks, you can still make it here to round out your perfect day at Disney World. However, if you are interested in playing the Fairways course you will be under more strict time constraints as this course closes an hour before the Gardens course.
Now I know how this looks… you’re thinking great, another thing to squeeze into your already overcrowded Disney World Vacation schedule is asking a bit too much, am I right? Well if you haven't done it before, I simply want you to be aware of the fact that there is a Miniature Golf Course on Disney Property and it is surprisingly affordable. Anything beyond that is up to you.
As something of a tradition, we have been playing miniature golf at Fantasia Gardens during each of our visits to Disney World since I was a child. While not the absolute best miniature golf course I have ever played in my life, it is oozing with Disney Magic and makes for an excellent end to an already great day at the parks. All I ask is that you give it a chance and consider giving it a try next time you are in the area.
There are two miniature golf courses at Walt Disney World, Winter Summerland and Fantasia Gardens. Each course is intricately themed, and they each feature two 18-hole courses apiece. These courses are a lot of fun, and make for a great break from the theme parks. Often there are special offers and deals to play miniature golf, so keep your eyes open for some significant savings.
Winter Summerland and Fantasia Gardens have the same pricing which is $14.00 for adults (age 10+) and $12.00 for children (Age 3-9). Children under age 3 are free. Be aware that there are often savings and discounts available. For example a second game is 50% off, and there is always an annual pass discount.
The Fantasia Gardens course and the Fantasia Fairway course. The Fantasia Gardens course is themed the Walt Disney’s famous film Fantasia. The Gardens course is a typical miniature golf course with fun and interactive elements at each hole. The Fantasia Fairways course features less theming in favor of a more realistic golfing experience. This course is extremely challenging and is more of a literal miniature golf course. The Fairways course is like a traditional golf course on a much smaller scale.
Even the Restroom Signs are Christmas themed! The Winter Summerland miniature golf course is fairly well-shaded, which is a great benefit in the sunshine state. There are restrooms available at the course. Drinks and snacks are available for purchase.
Winter Summerland miniature golf is located adjacent to Blizzard Beach water park; in fact, they share a parking lot! Parking is complimentary to guests at Winter Summerland and Blizzard Beach. Bus transportation is offered to Blizzard Beach/Winter Summerland; however, guests will likely have to transfer buses.
As miniature golf amateurs we found the course to be quite challenging, but also a lot of fun. Every hole has a plaque with a short rhyme about the elves silly antics, and each hole had some kind of fun and unique challenge. The theming is quite kitschy and cheesy, but that is what miniature golf is all about, right?! Everything is themed at Winter Summerland, from the entrance featuring Santa’s sleigh to the background Christmas music, guests are ensconced in a world of silliness and Christmas cheer.

The Fairways course is a real challenge, with long sloping greens that will appeal more to skilled golf players than kids who just want to swing a club. Of course, that just makes the wait all the longer for the other course, the Gardens.
For our family, the ease of Disney transportation, the more entertaining and easy course, and the shade all made Winter Summerland our new favorite Disney mini golf course. We have played Fantasia Gardens many times, but always with a car and always in the evening. To use our Magic Your Way vouchers, which are only good before 4 PM, we had to play during the heat of the day, and that really made a difference in how we felt about this challenging course.
