Putting Green Minigolf

Putting Green Minigolf is a course made by the local community, hoping to spread awareness of environmental issues with their solutions. However, we promise that this doesn’t stunt the designs of the course or the fun you’ll have on it. With holes designed by local artists made from recycled materials, attending this course has the added benefit of helping a local community prosper. 

Located by the water on River Street, this outdoor course only allows walk-ins. If you can be there earlier in the day, it’s the most price-efficient option on this list.

Prices: $10 for adults. $5 for kids and seniors.

(On Wednesdays before 5 pm and Saturdays before 1 pm: $5 for adults and $2 for kids and seniors.)

Aviator Golf Center

Mini-golf is fun, but what if you want to see how far you can slam a ball? Aviator Golf Center comes with a driving range, a full-sized par-three golf course, and a mini-golf course to enjoy. With $5 driver rentals and $10 buckets, Aviator schedules all customers in advance to assure they will never be overcrowded. The center is located at 3200 Flatbush Ave, comfortably outside the hustle and bustle of the city.

Bushwick Country Club

Don’t let the name fool you; this bar is far from an exclusive country club. If you’d prefer mini-golf to be a side activity to a night of drinking in Brooklyn, the ironically named Bushwick Country Club is a homey-feeling bar with a comfortable atmosphere. This spot doesn’t have the most creatively designed course, for sure. 

However, the food and drinks easily top the other options on this list. You’ll also get the chance to interact with some locals, getting a better idea of what it means to be from Brooklyn than most other places can give. The club is at 618 Grand Street, one building off from the corner of the block.

Prices:$10 per person

Open from: Monday-Friday, 5 pm-4 am

Saturday-Sunday, 3 pm-4 am

Pier 25

For a calming day by the water, Pier 25 is another lovely choice. Alongside their mini-golf course, Pier 25 also offers a playground and a volleyball court, with the option to reserve a court six days in advance. 

The whole design does not have any particular theme, embracing a neutral feel to let you truly take in the Brooklyn air. The snack bar offers a variety of tasty treats that appeal to any palate. You’ll find it at 225 West Street.

Open from: Monday-Sunday, 10 am-9 pm

Mini-golf prices: $5 for kids under 12. $10 for everyone 13 and up.

Adventurer’s Family Entertainment Center

Out of all the options for mini-golf in Brooklyn, Adventurer’s Park is where you can spend a whole day. The center is more of an amusement park than just a mini-golf course, filled to the brim with rides for young kids. 

You’ll find that the mini-golf course is simple and adorable, like a child’s playroom. It is not the best option for a date, but the Adventurer’s Family Entertainment Center is a perfect place to bring young children. The pack is at 1824 Shore Parkway.
