There are 2 different miniature golf courses at Walt Disney World. Prices are $12 per 18 hole round for adults and $10 for children ages 3 to 9. The courses are open from 10 am to 11 pm everyday.
The Fantasia Gardens is located within the Epcot Resort Area. It contains two 18 hole courses. Fantasia Gardens is inspired by the movie Fantasia and features dancing hippos and marching broomsticks. Fantasia Fairways is a miniature version of a traditional golf course. It has a heavier emphasis on skill than on chance.
Disney’s Winter Summerland Golf Course is located near Blizzard Beach and was designed by Santa Claus. He decided to build a golf course that is split into 2 different groups; a course for the elves that enjoy the snow and a course for the elves that enjoy the warm Florida sun. After you sink your ball into the 18th hole on either course, you will receive a special greeting from Santa Claus via computer. How fun!
Be sure to check your vacation package material to see if Disney has provided you with a discount coupon for miniature golf. I have seen one on occasion. I also believe DVC members and AP holders get a discount too.
Walt Disney World also has golf courses where you can take private lessons.

We are planning on doing this in March when we are down there for our Disney Cruise. I keep my eyes on the Orlando Groupon, I have seen Groupons in the past for Disney mini golf. Hoping I can find a coupon before we leave. 49 days to go!!!
Does anyone know if the Summerland course is a separate course from the Winterland? I thought they were 1 big course. And is the theme still about Christmas/Santa Clause? We don’t celebrate Christmas and will not play on a course if the theme is Christmas.
We play the winterland/summerland courses every trip. My son loves it. If you stay on property, it is very easy to get to using Disney Transporation, because it is located right next to Blizzard Beach. So you can just take the Blizzard Beach bus. There is a coupon for 1 free round per room when you check in at your hotel.
Also, I always make sure to take plenty of pictures of my son on the Winterland Course with the Christmas Decorations, because then they can be used to make cute photo Christmas cards that year!
We are planning to go mini golf this year with our APass. Passholders get 50% off mini golf. It looks like so much fun.
We were just there the week before Christmas and stayed at All Star Sports.. We had a promo coupon for 1 free round per room.. Hubby and son played at the Winterland/Summerland and had a blast.. Loved the decorations !! had a camping theme throughout too.. and.. If you went back and played within 24 hours you could play for half off !!
We always play minature golf at Disney. We only have been to Fantasia Gardens and have played both courses. We always go at night and love it! It is a tradition for us that started long before we had kids when we would meet friends there when we were in town (my hubby is from Orlando). If you are staying on property though, I suggest driving because there is no easy way to get back to your resort.
