The 6 Best Places for Indoor Mini Golf Around Atlanta

Try one of these hot spots and play miniature golf year-round.

The summer months can be brutal in Atlanta, so we’ve looked high and low to find you the top six indoor golfing facilities in and around the Atlanta area to allow your kids to burn off energy while you escape the heat.

My 5-year-old is a miniature golf fanatic and loves nothing more than an exhausting afternoon outside at what he likes to call the “miniature golfing club.” While he thrives on humidity and sunshine, I usually last only a few minutes before starting to wilt. Lo and behold, Atlanta has outdone itself once again and graced us tired parents with miniature golf inside.

Grab your purse and your kids and hide away from the Atlanta heat at one of these indoor mini golfing facilities. The kids will be happy to play, and you’ll be grateful for the air conditioning. We’ve included options for a family night, as well as our favorites for date night. Call up your babysitter or nanny and treat yourself to a little fun. After all, being a parent is no easy job!

Located close to Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, this place is great for tourists and visitors alike. More than 100 bays on three floors makes Topgolf the largest indoor golfing facility in Atlanta and probably the most accessible to those living just outside the city. Their rooftop terrace is the perfect setting for an evening out with friends or a date night with your spouse, while the 200+ HD TVs and kid’s zone make for a dream family outing. This upscale golfing facility also has a full-service bar and sports club-style menu, which will make you feel like you’ve hit the jackpot. I love the gluten-free options, such as flatbreads and salads, while my husband delights in an evening of specialty drinks and high-quality, grass-fed burgers. Before leaving Topgolf, take their 360-degree panoramic tour. Whether you live in Atlanta or are here for a visit, you’ll love the view of the city from this height.

Pricing at Topgolf is determined by the amount of time you reserve per bay, not the individual games. Each bay can house between one and six people and ranges between $25-45 an hour. (Open – noon, $25 per hour | noon – 5 p.m., $35 per hour | 5 p.m. – close, $45 per hour) There is a heroes discount of 10 percent off Topgolf gameplay to honor military (active duty and veterans), police, fire, and EMS personnel.

This golf academy is not designed for play dates but rather to teach your child the sport of golf.

Junction Lanes is a personal favorite because it’s located in Newnan, which is perfect for us families who live in the suburbs and commute to Atlanta for work. While I love going into the city, sometimes I need to spend a weekend in our small town to unwind from the craziness of big-city living.

I love the wide range of activities available at Junction Lanes. We can walk in as a family and find something for both kids to enjoy. Our daughter loves bowling, while our son only has eyes for putt-putt. Their golf course is lit by black lights, which makes the experience feel more exciting for the kids. My husband and I love the ease of a one-stop experience that pleases both the kids, allows us to relax inside with a beer, and often is featured on Groupon for discounted admission. While some of the equipment is a bit dated, the kids don’t mind, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure quality customer service and to create a fun environment. Pricing ranges between $6 and $10 a person per game, depending on the age of the player and whether you play on a weekday or weekend. Be sure to ask about the value packages for groups of five to save a few bucks.

This golfing spot may be outside the perimeter, but they make it worth the drive with their specialty blacklight golf course. This fun twist on mini golf creates an atmosphere enjoyable for kids of all ages and adults. While there is a monster theme, it’s created in the spirit of fun, and your toddlers will be too entranced by the fun lighting to notice any scary faces. They will also love the arcade for skeeball and air hockey, while mom and dad will enjoy educating the kiddos on some old-school video games.
The friendly staff, fun atmosphere, and hopping music will have your kids begging to return. Prices range between $7 and $9 per person, per game. Stop by Wednesday for special pricing. Get a second round of golf free after you finish your first round. Special pricing of $2 off a game is available daily to senior citizens, college students, military, police, and fire rescue.

Lunar Mini Golf

Hours: Monday – Saturday, 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. | Sunday, noon – 6 p.m.

A great option for indoor fun, this place can be a little chaotic during busier times, such as weekends and holiday breaks. If you have the luxury of going on play dates with your younger kids while the big ones are at school, then everyone will love the experience of playing in the blacklighting.

Unlimited playtime — which costs only $9 for each adult, $8 for ages 6-12, $6 for ages 3-5, and is free for ages 2 and under — is a huge selling point for this family, because my kids don’t always move with purpose. I also love the ease of being in a mall. There is substantial parking, and it’s easy to fill the day with walking or grabbing lunch in the food court.

Paragon Golf Center

Address: 4470 Satellite Blvd., Duluth, GA 30096
Hours: Monday – Saturday, 9 a.m. – 10 p.m. | Sunday, 11 a.m. – 9 p.m.

This large, covered facility has plenty of space for golfers of all levels, and pricing varies depending on your needs. Purchase baskets of balls between $6 and $14, or purchase a monthly card for more frequent use. A monthly fee of $100 buys you a medium basket of balls (approximately 90 balls) every day of the month. Automatic ball feeders are set up, which means there is no wait time in getting balls — a nice convenience for those with impatient kids or for those like me, who are currently too pregnant to bend down. The covered lanes offer comfort from the rain, while the fans keep the bays cool from the Atlanta heat.
