In West Glacier Village, Montana, you’ll find a mini-golf course that’s packed with fun, and with educational value. Golfing to the Sun Mini Golf blends the nostalgic good times of summer with trivia about Glacier National Park’s history.
West Glacier Village is situated just steps from Glacier National Park and offers lodging, dining, and activities for families and other travelers enjoying the rich natural setting.
The 18+ hole course is filled with whimsical characters and putting challenges, each one providing information about the National Park and why the land must be respected and preserved.
It's no wonder why Glacier National Park would inspire a mini-golf course. The landscape looks straight out of a fairytale and West Glacier Village is surrounded by that beauty.
The history-rich game is facilitated by McBilly The Mountain Goat who introduces players to both his animal friends and their natural habitats in Glacier National Park during the competition.
At this mini-golf spot your skills can really pay off. If you're able to get a hole in one on bonus hole #19 you can win a Huckleberry Sundae from the neighboring ice cream shop.
If you didn't make the shot, never fear! The ice cream shop has a wide variety of flavors of locally made Sweet Peaks Ice Cream as well as espresso drinks.
It’s hard to go wrong with mini-golf, and at Golfing to the Sun you and your loved ones can learn about the natural beauty surrounding you while engaging in some friendly (we hope) competition. Topped off with an ice cream cone it makes for one sweet afternoon.
