The miniature golf course was designed to reflect the history of the Naples area and showcases many scenic landmarks from around Maine.
“Our course is very challenging yet offers a fun experience for even our youngest visitors,” Julie Onorato said. “Families will find our course a good spot for a family competition, or simply a leisurely stroll around the course as our trees provide relief from the summer’s heat. We have people who tell us they came here when they were kids, and now they’re bringing their kids and grandkids here too. The location in the woods is so beautiful, especially if you enjoy simplicity and nature.”
She said miniature golf holes at Steamboat Landing include a classic New England-covered bridge, Songo Locks, lobster traps, the Songo River Queen riverboat, a historic western fort, a scenic lighthouse and typical of the many that line Maine’s rocky coast, a windmill, and a Maine Black Bear, who sports a trout catch between his teeth.
As the course winds through the wooded gardens, visitors will find something to catch their eye at every turn. Its charming and lush flower gardens in a quiet and serene setting include the babbling sound of running water as it flows through Steamboat Landing’s Grist Mill.
Free of insects and bugs, the mini-golf course includes a large lot for free parking and tables to sit down and relax after your game. They also offer Maine-favorite Giffords Ice Cream and ice cream sundaes. Restrooms are available.
Open seasonally from May through mid-September, Steamboat Landing Miniature Golf is a great place for families and larger camps and for reunions and groups of co-workers.
Prices are highly affordable, with kids ages 4 to 12 at $8.50, anyone over 13 at $9.75 and seniors 65-plus and military just $8.50. Children under 3 can play for free.
“The course is interesting for adults but is fun for all ages and it takes about 45 minutes to an hour to play,” Julie Onorato said. “We are a 19-hole course, and the 19th hole gives people a chance to win a free game.”
There’s also a popular “Weekly Score to Beat” feature at Steamboat Landing with top scoring players each week earning a free game or a free T-shirt.
As the owners, Julie and Bill Onorato are committed to exceptional customer service excellence and dedicated to providing a genuine and fun mini-golfing experience for all ages.
