Of course, the ICONA team wants to help you make the most of your Wildwood mini golf experience. As part of our efforts, we’ve put together a list of five can’t-miss destinations for mini golf in Wildwood Crest and Wildwood.

1. Harbor Light Golf

Location: 10200 Pacific Ave, Wildwood Crest, NJ 08260
View Current Hours

One of the area’s largest mini golf courses, Harbor Light Golf in Wildwood Crest has been a local favorite for more than three decades. Here, “a hole-in-one is an exception, not a rule,” according to Harbor Light. This is due to the many dog legs, sand traps, and other hazards you’ll encounter with every putt.

Along with offering mini golf, Harbor Light serves ice cream you can enjoy before, during, or after a round. Compete with family and friends on the mini golf course and follow up your round with a cone or cup of your favorite flavor. The course’s expansive ice cream menu also includes milkshakes, specialty sundaes, and other tasty cold desserts.

“One of the best places to play mini golf in the Wildwoods! Harbor Light Golf offers a nice course with decent play and nice water features. We especially loved that the owners were very nice people. They have fans set up on the course and also offer bug spray to patrons for when the mosquitoes come out at dusk! Don’t forget to cool down with some delicious ice cream after your game!” —G. Funk

2. Starlux Mini Golf

With three nine-hole Wildwood golf courses “where the wild things par,” there’s plenty to enjoy at Starlux Mini Golf. On the Beach Course, you’ll be able to play a fun game of mini golf and see the world’s largest artificial sand dune and castle. If you prefer the ocean to the beach, the Ocean Course features giant sea creatures and massive water fountains. There’s also the Boardwalk Course that’s surrounded by plastic palm trees and memorabilia and trivia celebrating Wildwood at every hole.

At Starlux, there’s lots of shade to help you stay cool as you go from hole to hole. During your visit, you can enjoy Johnson’s Popcorn “Sweet Treats & Eats” food truck and Kohr’s Brothers ice cream and roast s’mores at the venue’s fire pit. The venue is handicapped accessible and dog friendly, too.

“Whenever I get an opportunity to go to Wildwood, New Jersey for vacation (from Connecticut), I always go to this mini-golf location. Whenever we go, it’s always night and gives us the better experience. It’s genuinely nice and amazing, and me and my family has so much fun there, competitively trying to win and enjoying the serene environment. We try to do all the courses, and all of them equally look amazing and built fun. We also go to the ice cream shop right after mini-golfing, and the ice cream tastes spectacular, and all the people behind the registers are spectacular, understanding, and nice. I recommend going here if you’re in Wildwood, either for vacation, or if you reside there! This place genuinely has a place in my heart.”—hi guys (idk444)
