Norwalk Cove Marina Mini Golf

You're putting past anchored yachts with the Sound stretching out beyond the 18th hole – this is mini golf with actual scenery instead of plastic pirates and fake waterfalls. The course winds around Norwalk Cove Marina where 400 boats bob in their slips, giving you something decent to look at between shots. The holes themselves are well-maintained without being overly gimmicky, though the coastal winds can turn what looks like an easy putt into a proper challenge. It's the kind of place where you end up staying longer than planned, especially on summer evenings when the light hits the water just right and the marina comes alive with boat owners prepping for sunset cruises.
