Call for reservations. No beach vacation is complete without the timeless activity of miniature golf. More than a dozen minigolf courses adorn the Outer Banks from Corolla through Hatteras Island. Themed fairways featuring African animals, circus clowns, and strange obstacles await even the most amateur club-swinging families. Small children will enjoy the ease of some of these holes, and even skilled golfers can get into the new par 3 grass courses that have been growing in numbers over recent years.
Many courses stay open past midnight for night owls to enjoy.
Almost all minigolf courses operate seasonally, and, since they are all outside, their openings are weather-dependent. The 18-hole course includes par 3s, 4s and 5s. The undulating hills winding around natural dunes will provide intriguing challenges for beginning and better golfers. The course is open from April to October. Make sure to try The Grass Course's homemade ice cream.
