Professor Hacker’s Lost Treasure Golf

Professor Duffer A. Hacker, a renowned explorer, archaeologist, anthropologist, paleontologist, and part-time taxidermist, conducted two trips to the Fogclift Islands off South America’s coast in the 1920s. This mini-golf course recreates his journey in a fun way that will make your kids squeal from excitement and for you, it’ll conjure up old memories of Indiana Jones.

The two 18-hole outdoor miniature golf courses are encircled by a mining train ride that children, in particular, will enjoy. Take the mining car to the mountain’s summit, then ride with Professor Hacker on a thrilling exploration to uncover gold and diamonds. Players will go on an adventure across the Fogclift Islands’ jungles in pursuit of jewels and wealth. Both routes wind past dinosaur bones, gold mines, and tumbling waterfalls while presenting various challenges and surprises.

Professor Hacker’s Lost Treasure Golf is located only a 20 minute walk or 3 minute drive from this modern 2-bedroom vacation rental home.

Professor Hacker’s Dinosaur Adventure Golf

Another from the Professor Hacker series, this mini-golf course follows his adventures back to the time of dinosaurs. This journey began when Professor Hacker and a companion took to the skies, lost their bearings, and crash-landed in a canyon. They quickly discovered that dinosaurs were living nearby and requested assistance. But, unfortunately, the ship to save them was found beached on the rocks.

As you begin your miniature golf journey, you will encounter streams and waterfalls. Players at Dinosaur Adventure will discover themselves stranded on a tropical island home to enormous, colorful dinosaurs! In addition, you’ll pass by hot air balloons and an 85-foot steamship.

Both courses provide 18 holes of excitement and fun, each with its own unique hazards and challenges. Watch out for the ravenous dinos!

Mayday Golf

A modest, family-owned miniature golf course, Mayday Golf was established in 1997. It was chosen as the “Best Survival Course” and has been highlighted on the Travel Channel program “Mini Golf Madness.”

Since one of the founding partners of Professor Hacker’s Mayday Golf holds a commercial pilot’s license, the aircraft theme has an air of authenticity. Players are taken on a journey through the two 18-hole courses as they pass through flowing streams, rocky hills, lush flora, a cascading waterfall, a helicopter, and a giant yellow plane touching down upon Mayday mountain.

Mayday Golf is located within a quick drive from this quaint ocean view rental, ideal for up to 6 guests.

The Mutiny Bay Miniature Golf Course includes a special effects battle between Caribbean pirates every 30 minutes. Mutiny Bay, which opened in 2001, is well known for the large pirate ship that can be seen along Highway 17. Some of the mini golf course holes are played on the pirate ship!

To add even more intrigue to your game of golf, it also features the Mischief Spinner game. At the same time, the volcano explodes every 30 minutes in a smoke-filled blaze.

Lava Louie’s is one of Molten Mountain’s most unusual and challenging courses. Lava pools, smokestacks, and tribal artifacts may all be seen as you walk along the trail outlined inside the active volcano. In addition, both courses feature interesting information on volcanoes and mythology.
