You’ll play through wild candy-themed courses—indoors or up on the roof—dodging giant cupcakes and gumball trees as you go. Laugh with friends over tricky shots, then wander into an epic candy store to treat yourself afterward. This mini golf day trip in Pigeon Forge includes all entry fees and is easy for any age or ability—just bring your sense of fun.
Someone handed me a bright green putter before I’d even figured out where to look first — there’s this swirl of pinks and blues everywhere, like the whole place exploded out of a candy jar. We’d barely started the first hole when our friend Jamie got distracted by the giant gummy bear (honestly, I don’t blame him). The air smelled faintly sugary, but not in a fake way — more like walking past an old-fashioned sweet shop. Our guide at the counter grinned and told us to watch for “bonus holes” on the course; I still don’t know if he meant that as encouragement or a warning.
The outdoor course is actually up on the roof, which I didn’t expect — you climb these stairs and suddenly you’re putting next to cupcake pillars and gumdrop bushes, with all of Pigeon Forge sort of humming below. It was warm but not too hot, and every so often you’d catch a breeze that made the little flags flutter. There’s one spot called Rock Candy Mountain where my ball just refused to cooperate (I’m blaming the sugar high), but we laughed so much it didn’t matter. Inside, it’s even wilder: jelly bean jungles, talking gumballs, kids running around yelling about “the juice box fountain.”
I’ll admit I lost track of who was winning about halfway through — someone kept score on their phone but honestly we were too busy trying to pronounce “Bubblegum Garden” in different accents (Li laughed when I tried it in Mandarin — probably butchered it). At the end, we wandered into the candy store and just stood there for a minute because there’s so much: sour belts, chocolate rocks, stuff I hadn’t seen since I was a kid. If you’re looking for serious golf…maybe not your spot. But for a day trip in Pigeon Forge where you can just be silly with friends or family? It’s got something weirdly joyful about it. I still think about that view from the rooftop holes sometimes.
