Fast forward decades and mini golf is now a great family game, date night activity, or a way to sharpen up your putting skills. Mini golf has evolved and there are now thousands of courses around the country and world. If you are looking to get out of Montclair for a fun day or night, here is a comprehensive list of mini golf courses in North Jersey.
