Life can get busy and overwhelming for families living in the Woodbridge area. Between commuting to and from work, dropping kids off at daycare or school, and fulfilling community or friendship obligations, there’s not much downtime to simply enjoy being together. Sometimes it’s nice to plan a day away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
At Koons Woodbridge Hyundai, we’ve created a list of the top five mini-golf courses and outdoor recreation centers in Woodbridge and the surrounding communities that you and your family will thoroughly enjoy. Check out what each of these mini-golf courses has to offer, and then make plans soon to treat your family to a special day of excitement, laughter, and loads of fun.
Lake Accotink Lucky Duck Miniature Golf
Less than 15 miles from Woodbridge, Lake Accotink Lucky Duck Miniature Golf can be found in Springfield, Virginia. This 493-acre park is located on the shores of tranquil Lake Accotink and Accotink Creek. Along with miniature golfing, several fun family activities are available, including birdwatching, boating, hiking or biking, picnics, playgrounds, and more.
Plan a special event or celebrate your child’s birthday with the Mini-Golf Birthday Party Package. This all-inclusive package includes a round of miniature golf, a nature-based craft, a park guide-led hike, and a covered outdoor area for up to 20 people. Tickets for one round of golf begin at $5 per person. Discounts are available for individuals age 65 and older as well as those 12 and under.
The Magic Putting Place
The Magic Putting Place, located about 20 miles from Woodbridge in Manassas, Virginia, features two separate 18 hole mini-golf courses. The Magic Castle Course includes a sawmill, fountain ponds, charming flower gardens, and of course, a magic castle. The Windmill Course has a windmill and beautiful shade trees, flowers, and shrubs. Relax the day away with family or friends while listening to family-friendly music played throughout both courses. At dusk, the grounds are lit up with colorful course lighting so you can enjoy golfing in the late evening.
If the kids need a snack when they’re done putt-putting, visit the 19th Hole Snack Bar, where you’ll find all kinds of treats like drinks, chips, and more. Ticket prices begin at $5 per person for one course. If you’d like to play both courses, you can for an additional $3 per player. The Magic Putting Place is currently closed for the season but will reopen in April 2022.
Burke Lake Mini Golf
About 12 miles from Woodbridge, you’ll find Burke Lake Mini Golf at Burke Lake Park. At over 800 acres, this natural playground has something for everyone. Whether you enjoy mini-golfing, disc-golfing, biking, fishing, boating, or an occasional scoop of ice cream, you and your family will have a blast making unforgettable memories together.
Mini-golf tickets begin at $8 for adults, $7 for seniors and children 12 and younger, and $7 per person for a group of eight or more. The facility is currently closed for repairs, but it will be up and running again in April 2022.
Dulles Golf Center and Sport Park
If your family loves all things sports and outdoors, then you’ll want to plan a day trip to Dulles Golf Center and Sports Park. This year-round recreation center is less than 40 miles from Woodbridge and features a variety of outdoor activities the whole family can enjoy. The 18-hole miniature golf course features fountains, stone traps, and 10 replicas of famous lighthouses from across the country. You’ll find North Carolina’s Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Virginia’s Assateague Lighthouse, New York’s Montauk Point Lighthouse, and Michigan’s White Shoal Lighthouse.
When you’ve finished a round or two of golf, stay for a few hours more and try out the fast or slow pitch batting cages, gemstone panning at Rocky Cove Mining Company, a game or two of basketball, or a much-needed lunch break at one of their many picnic tables. A game of mini-golf is $9 per adult, $8 for children ages 3 through 12, and free for children under two years old.
Upton Hill Regional Park
Upton Hill Regional Park is in Arlington, Virginia, approximately 25 miles from Woodbridge. This park has one of the most curiously designed golf layouts in northern Virginia. Surrounded by trees, water fountains, and bridges, this challenging mini-golf course will keep you entertained and amused throughout the entire game.
Upton Hill is an excellent locale for hosting a birthday party or celebrating other special events. Their birthday party package includes unlimited mini-golfing and batting cage fun for two hours for a maximum of 25 people. You can even bring your own food, drinks, and decorations, using one of their shaded Funbrellas as your birthday party central.
In addition to Upton Hill’s beautifully landscaped and well-designed miniature golf course, there are many entertaining and recreational activities for all ages. Visit one of their softball or baseball cages that include slow, medium, and fastpitch speeds. The kids will thoroughly enjoy Climb Upton, a 90 element vertical climbing course. Explore the wooded area around the sports complex while hiking one of their beautiful nature trails. For those extra sunny days, spend the afternoon at Ocean Dunes, a water park for kids and adults with a 500-gallon dumping bucket, water slides, waterfalls, and squirters.
Upton Hill’s miniature golf course tickets are $7 for adults, and $5 for seniors over 55 and children 12 years and under. Discounts are available for groups of 10 or more.
