Indoor mini golf courses around Dallas
Another Round
This indoor mini golf facility in Dallas has two nine-hole courses—Daze and Nite—that are ideal for ages 7 and older. The original and trickiest course, Daze features the cone monster, swinging foam blocks and treacherous ball ponds. The newer Nite course has some more challenging shots that require a bit of finesse. Another Round also has a pickleball court ($10 to reserve; free to play if you walk in it’s not reserved) and Duffleboard—think of it as a mix of mini golf, tabletop shuffleboard and pinball. Bonus: If you’re looking for a date night idea with your partner, come after 8pm when the courses are limited to ages 21 and older.
Why we love it: The courses are unlike any others we’ve seen and they make for great photo ops.
