1. It’s a low-pressure environment.

When you’re out on a first date, there can be a lot of pressure to impress your date. But when you’re playing mini-golf, that pressure is off. You can relax and be yourself while still enjoying some friendly competition. And who knows, maybe your date will be impressed by your mad mini-golf skills! Check out our blog post on improving your mini-golf game before you hit the course. These skills will really impress that special someone!

2. It’s a great way to get to know each other.

Because mini-golf is a relatively low-key activity, it’s a great way to get to know each other without feeling like you’re being interrogated. You can chat while you play and really get a feel for each other’s personalities. While you walk around our grounds, you can also admire our gators and other animals and learn new fun facts together!

3. You can have some light-hearted fun.

Playing mini-golf is just plain fun! It’s a great way to forget about all of life’s stresses and just enjoy each other’s company. Plus, it’s a great opportunity to make some inside jokes that only the two of you will understand. If either of you is competitive, this is a great way to have some friendly competition. If you are in a new relationship, this can quickly become a date night tradition!

After you’re done on the golf course, the fun can continue at our wonderful wildlife exhibits. See over 30 American alligators being fed, snap a photo with an African Gray Parrot, or hold a Python!

4. It’s affordable.

Date nights can be expensive, but playing mini-golf is relatively affordable. This makes it the perfect date night for couples on a budget. And don’t worry, even though it’s affordable, playing mini-golf is still a lot of fun! Elevate your usual bar date. We serve non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages at Golf N’ Gator, not your average trip to the bar!

5. It requires strategic thinking.   

Playing mini-golf requires strategic thinking and planning ahead. This is a great opportunity for you and your partner to work together and help each other out. By the end of the game, you’ll know whether or not your partner is a good team player! Mini-golf is a great team-building exercise, and can be a great tool to improve your and your partner’s communication skills with each other! Better yet, if you go on a double date with another couple, both couples will think like teams and have a  friendly competitive couple golfing game!

6. It gets you moving.

Let’s face it, sometimes we all need to get off the couch and move our bodies. Playing mini-golf is a great way to get some mild exercise while also having fun. Unlike the usual weekend restaurant trip, this allows you to get some blood flowing and create memories that will last! So if you’re looking for an active date night option, this is it!

7. It creates unique memories.

If you and your partner have been together for a while, unique date ideas are a fantastic way to spice things up. Creating unique memories, even on a weeknight is crucial to a happy and healthy relationship. Mini-golf is just that! If it’s both your and your partner’s first-time mini-golfing, then it is a great way to learn something new and keep your relationship interesting and fun! Plus, if you head to our wildlife exhibits, you can get a photo taken with our awesome animals on site to put on the fridge!

Mini-golfing can turn into a family tradition after you’ve been able to give it a shot! If you can’t get a babysitter for your date, you can bring the kids along for some competitive family fun!

8. Mini-golf is a great way to celebrate an anniversary or milestone!

Whether it’s your wedding anniversary or your partner just got a promotion at work, going on a mini-golf date is a fantastic way to celebrate! Taking your partner on a fun and exciting date is a great way to let them know how much you love them and celebrate life with them!
