Congo River Golf — Attraction in Clearwater

Been here a couple of times now. We only played mini golf but they have a small arcade, a gem washing station and live alligators that you can feed and hold.

I like the jungle theme. The course is well kept. The holes are fun but not too challenging. One in our party got 2 holes in 1! They have incorporated a scavenger hunt into the game for some extra fun, if you can find all the hidden items you get a scratch off card for additional prizes or discounts. They also have challenges at some of the holes that can make the game a little more interesting.

Prices are good. $16 per 18 holes per person. Additional $$ for the gator activities. Non-alcoholic bottled drinks are available at the main desk as well as a couple of vending machines on the course - which do accept credit cards. Discreet garbage cans too, we didn't see any garbage lying around! They have a discount on a 2nd round that can be redeemed at a later date, for $10 per person. They even have day passes. Birthday party hosting available. Ample parking.

The only thing that would make the course better is if the waiting areas between most holes was bigger. It was a bit crowded this last time and some times you are standing in small walkways or on narrow steps waiting for your turn.

Overall we always have a good time and will be going again. It's a fun way to spend a couple of hours in...

I went to the Congo River 2 times within a 7 day period with my kids and fam. Do I recommend it yes Is it a little expensive if you want to be honest .Yes you can hold an Alligator and there's a "panning for treasure " table . And an "arcade ".the arcade is very very small and not very kid friendly 3-9. It has not very rewarding prize wise (2) claw machines . An air hokey table .a basket ball trow game .and a wind chamber . You can feed the Alligators with fishing poles that have clips on the end for fishing .this was very fun The grounds are well keeper and really cool to look at and be in. I feel that for the cost for the extras you should get more for your money or they should include the feeding in the basic cost . The arcade definitely was not worth the prise for my kids or for me my 7 year old was not able to really do anything and my 14 year old felt like all the stuff was more for younger people. To use up our tokens we did the air hokey. The claw machines gave balls or small odd animals ..all of witch my 7 year old wasted her tokens on trying to get .witch I know is the point but it would have been nice again taking in how much we spent if the arcade was more rewarding. Over all we had a great time ,the second time we went we just golfed and didn't pay for the extras knowing...

5/5 Stars – Bitten by a Gator, Blessed by the Content Gods Congo River Mini Golf – Florida Edition of “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up”

I came for the mini golf, I stayed for the chaos, and I left with a baby alligator bite to the FACE.

Let me set the scene: I was mid-vlog, minding my dramatic business, narrating like David Attenborough in a tank top, when the adorable baby gator they let you hold (yes, they LET you) decided I looked like a snack. Literally.

Did I flinch? No. Did I scream? Also no. Did I LAUGH and finish my vlog like a chaotic queen with a new face accessory? Absolutely.

Staff looked shook. The gator guy looked like he aged five years in front of me. But me? I was THRIVING. I got snapped at. Apparently, if you can take a reptile snap to the face without panicking, you’re qualified to become the next steve irwin, and i do all my own stunts.

And now I have a viral video, a tiny scar that makes me look mysterious, and a story that starts with, “So this one time at mini golf…”

Come for the putt-putt. Stay for the unpredictable wildlife encounters. Leave with a new personality trait.

Bonus points for the gator's impeccable comedic timing. I will be returning. Possibly to work as a gator handler. Possibly to reenact. Definitely...
