You’ll play through candy-themed mini golf courses at Crave Golf Club in Pigeon Forge—indoors and up on the roof—while soaking in sweet scents and playful colors. Local staff keep things lighthearted as you tackle 38 holes with your group. There’s time for treats at their candy shop or even a quick round of mini-bowling before heading out—expect laughter and maybe a little friendly rivalry.
"You ever try putting with a giant jellybean staring you down?" That’s what my nephew blurted out as we lined up our first shot at Crave Golf Club in Pigeon Forge. I just laughed — honestly, the whole place smells faintly like cotton candy, and there’s this weird joy to it. We started on the indoor course, where everything is bright and kind of surreal, like someone let a five-year-old design a golf dreamland. The music is bouncy but not too loud. I kept getting distracted by the gummy bear statues — they’re everywhere — and nearly tripped over a licorice-looking ramp (not edible, I checked).
Our guide for the day, Jamie, didn’t wear a uniform or anything but seemed to know every shortcut on both courses. She told us locals come here even when it rains because the indoor holes are just as wild as the rooftop ones. When we finally climbed up for the outdoor part, I could feel that sticky Tennessee summer air — not unpleasant, just thick enough to make your shirt cling a bit. The view from up top is pretty great; you can see bits of the Smokies peeking out behind neon signs. My niece tried to sneak an extra turn, but Jamie caught her and just winked instead of scolding. That felt nice.
I didn’t expect to get so competitive about mini golf, but after my brother got a hole-in-one off some spinning donut obstacle (he still brags), it was game on. Between shots, we wandered through their candy store — it’s impossible not to grab something sugary after all that temptation. There’s also mini-bowling and escape rooms if you want to hang around longer; we almost did but hunger won out in the end. Honestly, I still think about that rooftop breeze mixed with sweet smells — it’s silly fun but kind of sticks with you.
