Winter Summerland Miniature Golf

Winter Summerland Miniature Golf is a mini-golf course at Walt Disney World Resort located next to the Blizzard Beach water park, themed as the vacation home of Santa Claus. It opened March 12, 1999.

Story
Late one Christmas Eve Santa was flying back to the North Pole and he discovered snow over Florida. After surveying the situation he decided to make an off duty vacation site for his off-duty elves, a Winter Summerland. Santa decided the only thing it was missing was a golf course. He split his elves into two camps, one that enjoyed the Florida Sun and the other which enjoyed the snow and cold of the North Pole. The camps built two distinctly different 18 Hole Golf Courses, a sand course named "Summer" and a snow course named "Winter".

The Summer Course

Enjoy fun in the sun at the Summer Course amid surfboards, sandcastles and ornaments hanging from palm trees. Deck the balls as you putt around peppermint-striped inner tubes, snapping clamshells and a melting snowman. Don’t wake sleeping Santa buried in the sand!

The Winter Course

Putt your way to the North Hole on the Winter Course; but watch out for Squirty the Snowman! This "jolly, happy soul" sprays water at golfers when golf balls pass beneath him. Merry obstacles include giant peppermints, hockey sticks and the drawbridge of a fantastical, melting castle. The courses combine for the last holes, and after sinking the last putt on Hole 18, golfers receive a special message from Santa Claus, courtesy of the WinterNet!

Trivia

 * Winter Summerland was cited as a point of inspiration for Prep and Landing's interpretation of elf society at the North Pole.
