All the Details

Sparkle City Mini Putt is free to play, but you will need to either bring your own clubs and balls or borrow from area businesses. Currently, you can borrow clubs and balls from The Local Hiker, Paisley Paw, Growler Haus, and Little River Coffee Bar. Each of these businesses is within walking distance of the course. If you’d rather use your own putters and balls, you can often find used putters at places like Play It Again Sports.

Additionally, the course is designed to be played in daylight hours, which also means you must borrow clubs and balls during business hours.

This is a family-friendly, kid-friendly mini-golf course, so you can expect to finish in a short amount of time. Plus, you won’t have to worry about kids becoming frustrated with holes that are too difficult.

However, the course is not fenced in. There is a fence that separates Sparkle City Mini Putt from Fr8 Yard, but there is not a fence that separates it from the street. So, you will need to make sure you keep your eyes on your kids at all times.
