REVIEW · ORLANDO TOURS
Bonanza Golf & Gifts Entry Ticket in Orlando
Two Wild West mini-golf courses near Disney. If you want an easy Orlando outing with big scenery and real obstacles, Bonanza Golf & Gifts is a fun pick. I like the mix of waterfalls and tricky turns, plus the way the two 18-hole courses keep you moving and laughing with your group.
The ticket is simple, and you get what you need on-site, including clubs and a ball. One thing to consider first is physical comfort: the course includes stairs, and the venue’s layout may feel like a lot if you have knee or mobility issues.
Quick hits before you go

- Two 18-hole courses: plan to play more than one course if you want the full experience.
- Waterfalls and streams: the standout scenery shows up throughout the holes.
- Gift shop time matters: it is a major part of the visit, not just an afterthought.
- Clubs and balls included: you arrive ready to play.
- Stairs on the course: factor this in if you move slowly or want flatter ground.
Getting Oriented: Where Bonanza Golf & Gifts Is

Bonanza Golf & Gifts is in Kissimmee, at 7761 W Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy, Kissimmee, FL 34747. It is an easy add-on day activity if you are staying around the Disney area, because it is close enough to fit between parks, meals, and cooldown time.
Your experience starts and ends at the same location, so you are not dealing with shuttles or drop-offs. You’ll also use a mobile ticket, which is a plus when you are trying to keep things simple after a busy vacation day.
One more practical note: it is near public transportation, so it can work even if your plans are not car-only. And if you are traveling with a service animal, the venue allows them.
How Long to Plan: The 1-Hour Flow

The experience is about 1 hour. That is a good target for mini golf in Florida, because it is long enough to enjoy the scenery and play a real round, but not so long that you need to reorganize your entire day.
Here is how to make that hour feel smooth:
- Arrive a few minutes early so you can check in and grab what you need without stress.
- Decide quickly if you want to focus on one course or push through both.
- If you plan to shop, do it either right after your game or during a break, so it does not eat your play time.
The course is designed with ups and downs, and you may be climbing stairs while you move between holes. That means your pace can vary a lot depending on your group, so give yourself a little buffer.
What You Actually Get: Ticket Value and What Is Included
At $17.95 per person, this is positioned as a straightforward entertainment value. The biggest practical reason it works for many budgets is that your ticket covers essential equipment: golf club and golf ball.
What is not included is just as important for planning:
- Hotel pickup and drop off: you are responsible for getting there yourself.
- Bottled water: bring water if you are sensitive to heat or if you just like to plan ahead.
If you are traveling with kids or a mixed-age group, the included clubs and balls reduce the “who has what” chaos. And because you play on the course itself, you do not need to line up for separate rentals or extra fees for basic gear.
The Course Experience: Wild West Theme, Waterfalls, and Obstacles

This is mini golf with real theming. The venue is set up like a Wild West adventure, with two 18-hole courses that feature waterfalls, rushing water effects, and obstacle-heavy holes. You will cross wooden bridges at points, navigate turns that take away easy straight shots, and keep your eyes up for surprises embedded in the hole designs.
What this means for you in plain terms: it is not just a flat putting course. It asks you to slow down, aim, and accept that a few holes will demand more finesse than force. That is where the laughs come from, especially when you are playing with family or friends and someone thinks they can power it through.
Playing the Two Courses: How to Split Your Time

Because there are two 18-hole courses, you have two good strategies depending on your group.
If you want maximum fun per dollar
Try to play more than one course. Many people seem to do both, and it makes the visit feel like more than a quick novelty stop.
If you want a slower, easier outing
Pick one course and enjoy it without rushing. You may still find the scenery and the challenge satisfying, and you will spend less time moving between holes that include stairs.
Keep in mind that one downside showed up in at least a couple of opinions: some holes can feel close in design from one to the next. If you are expecting totally different experiences hole-to-hole, focus on the moments that look like a bigger feature, like the waterfall areas.
The Big Highlight: Waterfall Views and Those Photo Stops

The waterfall feature is the element that people often talk about first. It adds a calming vibe while you play, and it makes it easier to treat the course like a mini attraction instead of just another activity.
You’ll also find plenty of chances for vacation photos, especially when the theme elements are framed near the water. One of the practical wins here is that the scenery helps “break up” your attention. Even if a hole feels repetitive, the next view can reset your mood.
The Wild West Details: Bridges, Challenges, and That Last Hole Moment

Beyond the big waterfall moments, the course uses typical mini golf tricks in a fun way: elevation changes, turns, and obstacles that redirect shots.
One review point is worth you knowing ahead of time: the last hole has been described as a simple payoff where balls go into a locked box. If you like your mini golf endings to feel dramatic, that hole might not feel like the finale you imagined.
Still, the rest of the course pacing tends to keep most groups entertained. If your goal is a good laugh and a competitive round without a lot of planning, this venue usually delivers.
The Staff and Atmosphere: Friendly Help Makes a Difference

This is not a sit-and-forget experience. The staff is frequently described as friendly and welcoming, and people appreciate how helpful the team is from arrival through the game.
That matters more than it sounds. When you have a variety of ages in your group, having staff who can answer questions quickly, point you in the right direction, and keep the flow moving makes the outing feel effortless. It is also a big part of why people describe the visit as relaxing while still lively.
The Gift Shop Is Part of the Plan, Not an Afterthought
If you like souvenirs that look like they came from a real place, Bonanza Golf & Gifts can surprise you. The gift shop is described as large, and people mention that it is worth visiting even if you take a break from mini golf.
A few details that stand out:
- Cowboy themed items, including hats, show up in the shop.
- The souvenirs can be better priced than what people see at other stops around the Orlando area.
- The shop supports families and date-night visitors alike, so it is not just kid stuff.
Practical tip: if you want souvenirs without turning your game into a scavenger hunt, shop right after your round. That way you are not pausing mid-game for decisions.
Food and Water: Staying Comfortable in Orlando Heat
Bottled water is not included. In Orlando, that is one of those small gaps that can change how your hour feels.
I recommend bringing your own water or planning to buy it once you arrive. If you tend to overheat, carry extra water for the group, especially if you are playing both courses or visiting during peak daytime heat.
Also plan for the fact that the course has stairs. That means you might get warm faster than you expect, even though mini golf looks “light.”
Restrooms and Facilities: What to Know Before You Rely on Them
Most of the feedback is positive about the course itself and how well it is kept. But there is at least one blunt caution about restrooms being run down.
So here is the balanced way to handle it: treat restrooms as a “use if needed” option, not a reason to plan your trip around comfort. If you are coming with children, a smart move is to do the restroom stop before your game so you avoid last-minute stress.
Who This Is Best For
Bonanza Golf & Gifts tends to work for a lot of Orlando traveler types:
- Families: it is built for kids to burn energy, but it still has enough challenge for adults.
- Couples: it can be a low-pressure date night alternative to another dark, crowded venue.
- Teens and groups of friends: the competition element keeps it moving, and the theming gives you stuff to talk about besides scoreboards.
- People who like scenery: waterfalls and water features make it more than a standard indoor-style mini golf outing.
The main mismatch is anyone who struggles with stairs or frequent up and down movement. The venue requires moderate physical fitness, so if that is a concern, consider choosing one course and keeping your breaks planned.
Weather and Booking Reality: Why Good Weather Matters
This activity requires good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
But if your plans change for non-weather reasons, it is non-refundable and cannot be changed. So my advice is simple: book it when your schedule is likely stable, then treat it as a plan B only if the weather forecast looks iffy.
Price Breakdown in Real Terms: Is $17.95 Good Value?
For $17.95 per person, the value mostly comes from three things:
- You get the equipment: golf club and ball included.
- You get real course time: about an hour with two 18-hole courses available as part of the experience.
- You get the scenery: waterfalls, bridges, and obstacle design that make the game feel like an attraction.
If you were paying separately for clubs or if the course was short and basic, the price would feel steeper. Here, the equipment inclusion helps, and the theming raises the fun level without extra add-ons.
If you care most about flat, low-walking mini golf, or if you want completely unique holes every time, then the price might not feel as strong. But for most groups, this is a fair entertainment budget in the Disney orbit.
How to Make Your Game Better: Simple Tactics
You do not need golf skill to have fun, but a few habits help a lot:
- Watch the hole before you shoot. The course uses turns and obstacles that reward calm aiming.
- Use the “power only” approach less. In obstacle holes, extra force can bounce you off the rails.
- If your group is mixed in skill, rotate who tries first on tricky holes, then laugh and adjust.
- Take a breath after big waterfall areas and refocus. The course will keep redirecting you, and that focus helps.
If you are playing both courses, keep the pace steady. Your best plan is usually to avoid long delays at holes that need extra thought.
Should You Book Bonanza Golf & Gifts Entry Ticket?
Book it if you want a fun Orlando mini golf stop near Disney that mixes challenge with real theme details, especially waterfalls and wooden bridges. It is a solid choice for families, couples, and teen groups, and the included club and ball make it easy to manage.
Skip or reconsider if:
- Stairs and elevation changes are a major issue for your group.
- You get easily bored by holes that feel similar to each other.
- You rely on spotless restrooms as a must-have.
If your goal is an easy, low-stress, outdoorsy activity with good scenery and a big souvenir option, this one is worth your time. Just keep your water bottle handy, and aim to enjoy the course as much as the score.
