My kids absolutely love mini golfing when we are at the beach. It’s a daily ritual we do after breakfast. So why not explore that activity at home?

We have some great local options to try for mini golfing:

  • Perch Putt, Tysons — 18 holes, 11 stories up (rooftop golfing!) Kids under 6 are free. Book a tee time online.
  • Pixar Putt, The Wharf — Pixar themed golf course, tee times after 7 p.m. are for people 18 and over.
  • Oakmont, Oakton — 18 holes (not very difficult holes) close by to Vienna if you’re going for proximity. Can also head over to the driving range after if you’re looking for more golf.
  • Upton Hill, Arlington — A fun 18 hole course that’s part of a larger complex that has batting cages, a climbing structure, and a pool.
  • Jefferson Falls, Falls Church — A newly renovated 18 hole course near Mosaic.
  • The Magic Putting Place, Manassas — The home to 2 individual 18 hole courses, so do both for the full experience! And then head to Nathan’s Dairy Bar next door for ice cream (just voted best ice cream by Northern Virginia Magazine).

Enjoy!
