We had so much fun. Two 18 hole courses mean you’re never crowded. And each hole’s design is inventive and creative. It’s also a place with a long history. Well worth taking the family here or visiting with friends.

Par King is by far the best mini-golf course in Illinois. In fact, the next most charming mini-golf would be found all the way in Wisconsin Dells. Each hole has a very well designed theme, with some of them moving to intermittently block the shot, and others with ramps or tracks that potentially guide your ball into a hole-in-one. There are two courses - red and black - and each have their challenging holes. Both wrap up with a fun roulette hole where golfers can potentially win a free game landing on “0” or get as high of a score as 7. There is a small concessions stand with candies and cotton candy, a soda machine, and a couple of air hockey tables in the back. Keep in mind that the facility is CASH ONLY, and golfers must be 48” or taller. They don’t bend on either rule. Also let it be known that the asphalt walks get very hot in the sun, and a sunny 80° can feel like 90°+. I highly recommend you bring a bottle of water with you on the course. The place gets very busy on the weekends as well, so be prepared to wait during peak hours.
