Miniature golf is a fun activity for the entire family. For many children, it is their first exposure to the game of golf as they play on the fake courses with unique obstacles that they have to overcome. Golf is a popular sport in the city of Tucson and the surrounding areas, so it is no surprise that miniature golf courses dot this southwest region. Sadly, one of the miniature golf courses in the city of Tucson closed due to the bad economy.
