My wee man (25 months) loves to watch golf on tv. He is also enamored of a toy putter that I found at a garage sale.
I was thinking of checking out a putt putt golf location, but I cannot seem to find any in our area. I tried the web, but it was not useful.
We live in SW Portland, Oregon.
Is anyone aware of mini golf places around us?
Thanks.
best,
P.
Safari Sam's in Sherwood (on 99W) has an indoor mini golf area. There is also one in Wilsonville right off of the 5 freeway (between Wilsonville & N. Wilsonville exits).
Have you gone to the Family Fun Center in Wilsonville?
Once your son is a little older & wants to play on a real golf course, you should check out The Children's Course in Gladstone, OR, just off ext 9 of I-205. It's a 9 hole par 3 course. You and your son will have lots of fun playing together! And it's cheap too! Under 17 is only $5!

Island Greens in Tualatin, on Cipole Rd just off Tualatin-Sherwood Rd, also has an outdoor putting course that is themed after famous holes from top golf courses around the world. Fun for your son & challenging for you!

Oddly, there is a mini golf place downtown, in the heart of downtown, near Q-doba like 4th and Washington or Yamhill.
Also an outdoor course in Wilsonvill at the Family Fun Center or an indoor one at Safari Sam's in Sherwood if you don't mind the 10 mile drive on 99w.
Paul,
The only miniature golf place that I know of made just for kids is inside a play area/eatery. It's called Safari Sam's and it's in Sherwood, OR. I also think there is one inside Bullwinkles in Wilsonville, but I don't remember for sure. I know that is far for you but it's a blast, my daughter loves it.
Just wanted to let you know about that place if you decide you want to check it out.

Safari Sams is Sherwood has a nice clean indoor putt putt golf. Its out the 99 past Tigard but we live in SE PDX and go a couple times a year.
There's a pretty great putt putt course at Eagle Landing Golf Course in Happy Valley. That's more SE Portland, but it's not expensive and they have 36 holes so it's never very crowded.
I would recommend taking your little one to Safari Sam's in Sherwood, OR. They have a nice indoor miniture golf course which is easy enough for even very young children. There's also a really big and fun play structure there. You can find them on the web for directions.
Have fun! :)
I have not been to the putt putt portion, just the range, but there is an outdoor putting course (looks pretty fun) at Caplan Golf, 16251 SW Jenkins Rd, Beaverton. Have fun!
In Sherwood, at Safari Sam's, there is an indoor mini golf, and in Wilsonville at Bullwinkles there are two outside mini golf courses. Hope this helps!
Bullwinkles in Wilsonville is great.
It's not exactly in SW Portland, but I guarantee he will LOVE Safari Sam's in Sherwood... they not only have indoor mini golf, but also a gigantic indoor play structure, bounce houses & what little kid can resist arcade games (even if you don't add any tokens). They serve pizza & ice cream too. The prices have increased over the last six years since we started going there, but with only one child it is not too crazy.
When he is older, there is a really nice children's golf course in O.C./ Gladstone area right off of McLoughlin/River Rd.
Good Luck!
