You’ll Think You’re on Vacation
World-Class 18-Hole Mini-Golf Course with Cave and Waterfall in Johnson City
“As someone who regularly plays mini golf in the Sevierville/Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area, I can confidently say that this course is significantly better than any course I have played down there. It is obviously very well-maintained and located in a beautiful setting. If you haven’t been, you gotta go!” – Brie Boyle
GLOW GOLF: Enjoy Mini-Golf under the stars!
Glow Golf starts at dusk. Bright, lighted golf balls, glowing holes, colored landscaping lights — it’s fun and beautiful!
This aint your flat, cramped, boring little course.
The Paradise Acres mini-golf course rivals the courses you’ll find in Gatlinburg or at the beach. In fact, it rivals the ones you find in BOTH places. By that, we mean that we’ve woven both mountain and tropical themes into the course which was built in 2020 by Dave and Matt Bailey of Miniature Golf Solutions.
The two themes are separated mid-course by a pass-through cave and double waterfall designed and constructed by Bernardo Medina Buenrostro of Authentic Rocks.
Misting Fans
To help keep you cool during the summer, you’ll cool off in front of several misting fans spread throughout the course!
Why 2 Themes?
Founders Eric and Laressa McCarty decided to carve out their own happy places. Laressa loves the beach, so we’ve incorporated a lot of elements that remind you of a tropical paradise, including dolphins, exotic plants, and holes lined with white beach sand. Eric loves the mountains and Appalachian farms, so you’ll see plenty of bears, rhododendron, and farm memorabilia in a mountain paradise setting.
The Caddy Shack
Even if you don’t have the best mini-golf game of your life, you can still finish with a win! Our one-of-a-kind Caddy Shack equipment station includes a plinko board where you’ll deposit your ball when you’re done playing. If it goes in the middle slot, you’ll win a free prize or a second round of mini-golf (to be played that day)!
Handicap Accessibility
Nine of our holes are easily accessible by our friends with disabilities. You can play those holes twice in a round.
FAQs
We provide scorecards and pencils, but highly recommend using the Mini Golf Scorecard app to keep score. It’s a quick download, you don’t have to enter your personal info, and it does the math for you as you go! Plus, you’ll have your scores stored in the app so you can see how you played last time.
9 of our holes are handicap accessible. Guests with handicaps can play that set of holes twice to get in a full 18 holes.
Mini-golf is best suited for ages 3+, however younger toddlers are welcome to play and join the fun but you may not want to include their scores on the scoreboard! Please be aware there are water features, bricks, rocks and other safety hazards on the courses. Supervision is required at all times.
If we experience a rain-out while you’re on the property, we’ll give you a rain check to come back another time!
Reviews
A fantastic addition to our area, super friendly staff, great pricing, lots of fun. I cannot wait to try out the drive-in movie next.
The mini-golf course was fun and I forgot I was even in JC for a while!
Employees are awesome and It’s so clean and brand new! Loved the cotton candy, laser tag and beautiful decor
We had our child’s birthday party here. Great staff they were so helpful and answered all our questions. The kids had a blast and the adults too. Can’t wait to go back.
We had a great time playing putt-putt. The course is brand new and very nice. The price was reasonable and all of the employees were friendly. They also have ice cream and food available for purchase.
Paradise Acres is the perfect spot for a great afternoon! My family played a game of putt putt on a fun course and enjoyed some ice cream when we were done. We are already looking forward to coming back again soon!
Such a wonderful place!! Friendly staff. Amazing mini golf! Dramatically different than anything in our region. Can’t wait to come back.
Just a very cool place, glad someone brought this type of activity to the Tri-City region. The putt putt course is very well done. Laser tag was a lot of fun, staff is also very friendly and helpful.
All my kids said to choose five stars. They had great family time together. We did the putt putt course and had some ice cream. It was easy to find and provided a safe and welcoming environment. Keep up the great work. We will definitely be back and are excited to try all the other activities.
The owners were so nice and organized! My boyfriend and I went to play a game of mini-golf and were so happy with the course and overall experience! I highly recommend this place if you are looking to hang out with loved ones or friends!
This place just opened right down the road from us, and we visited for the first time last night to try out the putt-putt. The course was very clean and in great condition. The staff was very friendly. They had good practices in place for COVID (even at an outdoor venue).
