Bay Front Golf, Florida's oldest mini-golf course, is located within easy walking distance of the Old Town area. It is very inexpensive, but you get what you pay for. This is a bare bones course: lots of straight shots, simple bank shots, or simple ramps. The holes have flags, but they didn't have any long putters. A nice diversion from a touristy day, but not worth a special trip.

Anastasia Adventure Golf used to be called Whitebirds Family Fun Center, and used to be a nice course. There were some interesting holes, but not the variety of themes that you see at some places. There was lots of shade, which means a lot of leaves on the course. The most interesting thing about the course is that the greens aren't all green: some are red or purple!

Fiesta Falls is a pleasant course. We were the first ones there one morning, and we had the course to ourselves. This course has a good variety of themes and well maintained greens. We found making par incredibly difficult. In fact, the 18th hole is the hardest par 2 I have ever seen. Our balls got stuck in a tube on the 9th hole, but otherwise it was a great course. There are also 8 waterfalls, and many ducks call this course home.

Adventure Landing is a tourist trap, complete with go-karts, batting cages, and arcade. The mini-golf is an afterthought, and I wasn't impressed. Most holes were incredibly boring. Though some holes were challenging, they were all par 2. I'm a pretty good putter but I ended up 14 over par. I would save your money and play the other St. Augustine courses.
