Minigolf in Ocean City 2020

Ocean City has seemingly a minigolf course every few blocks along the main north-south road (you can't go very far on an east-west road). We felt obligated to try one out. Near our rental was Lost Treasure Golf, an adventure-themed minigolf course. Many other themes were available in our neighborhood, including pirates, dinosaurs, and Australia. We picked one with a crashed airplane because that looked like fun.

The welcome sign definitely had an "Indiana Jones" vibe without violating any copyrights.

Come on in!

This particular golf course has two courses, the gold course and the diamond course. When we asked about the differences between the two, the lady behind the counter said they were very similar. We let the kids choose our path, which lead us to the diamond course.

A nice sign

The course winds its way through the features, which includes the airplane, a waterfall, and various water hazards.

An overview of the course

We climbed up some stairs to start. After a few holes, we found one that led us back down to earth. The different cups on the hole led to different outlets at the bottom. None of us were able to hit the right hole to get a hole-in-one.

Going downhill

The very bottom led us into a cave where we found an unfortunately golfer hung up on a wall. Cheaters never prosper was the lesson we took from that skeleton. That blue thing in his mouth is indeed a golf ball!

Don't break any of the rules on this course!

The course offers a free round of golf to anyone who hits a hole-in-one on a certain hole. That hole changes everyday. We managed to get two holes-in-one--hole number ten and hole number thirteen. When we got back to the shop, the lady showed us the winning number--seventeen. Oh well, maybe next time. Golfing was fun and quite successful. We had no tears shed and no angry shouting.
