Whether in summer or on mild autumn days, mini-golf is a true classic among leisure activities. It requires no extensive preparation or prior knowledge to get started. But which courses are the most popular according to reviews, and what makes them so special?

This question was explored by the travel voucher portal “tripz.de,” which analyzed more than 180,000 Google reviews of over 1,200 mini-golf courses across Germany. TRAVELBOOK reviewed the results and highlights the most beautiful courses.

As early as the 1920s, simplified versions of golf were played in parks or on rooftops in the UK and the USA. However, the first mini-golf course in the modern sense opened in 1954 in Ascona, Switzerland. From there, the sport quickly spread throughout Europe, including Germany.

The 10 Most Popular Mini-Golf Courses

1. Schwarzlicht Minigolf, Gersthofen, Bavaria

The top spot in the nationwide ranking goes to 3D Neongolf in Gersthofen, with 4.9 stars from more than 4,600 Google reviews, clearly ahead of the competition. Here, players navigate glowing neon worlds with a club and 3D glasses. Elaborately designed wall paintings and blacklight effects guide players through four different themed areas, reminiscent of jungles and antiquity. According to reports, visitors praise the friendly staff and the straightforward booking process.
