Hyland Hills Adventure Golf & Raceway in Westminster, Colorado, holds a special nostalgia for anyone who visited as a kid, especially when it comes to its trio of imaginative 18-hole miniature golf courses. Each course has a unique theme that brings a little magic to every putt, making it a place that sticks with you long after childhood.
One course, Buccaneer Bay, is a pirate’s dream come true, with towering ships, treasure chests, and mysterious caves. As you’d putt your way through, you could almost hear the waves and smell the salt of the sea, with hidden nooks and pirate lore around every corner. The thrill of playing beneath the pirate ship’s mast and seeing “dangerous” crocodiles and treasures scattered around was enough to make any young adventurer’s heart race.
Then there’s Adventure Cove, a jungle-themed course that feels like stepping into the wild. The lush greenery, life-size animal statues, and hidden waterfalls create a mini paradise. For a kid, each hole is like uncovering a new secret spot, with twists and turns that keep you guessing. The mist from the water features makes it feel like a real jungle adventure, as you avoid “wildlife” and sink your putts.
Lost Continent is the ultimate prehistoric adventure, filled with towering dinosaurs, ancient ruins, and mysterious relics. As a kid, it felt like being transported back to the age of the dinosaurs, with the “roar” of giant reptiles around every bend. You’d wind your way through rock formations and dodge the gaze of dino statues looming overhead, all while navigating each tricky hole.
Each course at Hyland Hills Adventure Golf & Raceway has a sense of imagination that makes you feel like you’ve left Colorado and journeyed into a different world. For those who grew up visiting, it’s not just miniature golf—it’s a series of adventures that turn the simple act of putting a ball into a hole into an unforgettable experience.
