Top Spots for Mini Putt in Ottawa That Elevate the Traditional Golf Experience
Summer is here, and I usually just find myself frolicking under the sun. However, recently, instead of sunbathing and sipping margaritas on the patio, I began to crave something different – a summer experience I don’t usually partake in.
That’s when a light bulb appeared over my head, cartoon-style. I knew just the thing – mini putting!
Okay, I didn’t come up with this idea out of nowhere. In fact, I was scrolling through TikTok the other day, and a video about mini golf popped up on my For You page.
I’ll be honest – I scrolled past it. I was more interested in watching videos of Sabrina Carpenter singing at Capital’s Summertime Ball from different audience POVs!
Anyway, I started my search and discovered the best mini putt destinations in the city – one that’s completely traditional, one with glow-in-the-dark features, and one for party people!
