Punta Rassa
I attempt to track down mini golf courses anywhere I travel. Aside from the mechanical wonderment of Par-King near Chicago, Castle Mini Golf is the best course yet! Tons of real estate to cover, long greens, many multi-level holes, fun medieval theme, beautifully landscaped, and very well maintained. If you're in or passing through the Fort Myers area, it's most definitely worth a detour. #Trovember
