Just a tip if you're choosing one course: Course 1 is more geared towards outsmarting the geography of the course, and Course 2 is all of the kinetic moving obstacles like the classic windmill-type stuff.

We just returned from the Goofy Golf in Fort Walton. It's a lovely artifact of the old Florida attractions I loved as a child. There were quite a few people enjoying the courses, so hopefully it'll keep entertaining us for many more years.
