This Maine-Themed Mini Golf Course Just Opened for the Season—And It Has Ice Cream

The Maine miniature golf season is getting underway. Even with the messy spring weather, plenty of courses have still opened up, giving putt-putt lovers a chance to get out and enjoy the sport.

The state is full of wonderful courses, featuring all kinds of fun themes like dinosaurs and pirates.

However, one of the most entertaining has to be a relatively new course known as the 'Maine Gateway.'

Martel's Ice Cream & Mini Golf in Saco, Maine, is Open for the Season

Martel's, the popular mini golf course on Route 1 in Scarborough, is home to this very unique course. It's the second track for the complex, which also sports a high-quality course and its famous homemade ice cream.

The 'Maine Gateway' has a rich Pine Tree State theme, showcasing as much of Maine's natural beauty as possible. It's a tremendously original and fun course. While other courses have included flashes of Maine-inspired elements, a fully themed "Maine" course is sure to be quite a draw.

Believe me when I say the theme comes through very strongly. There's a lighthouse hole, a shipwreck, a pelican, wilderness, a lobster hole, and even a giant black bear. This course simply screams Maine. It's an absolute travesty that I haven’t made it out to this course yet, especially considering how much I love Maine and mini golf.

Martel's Ice Cream & Mini Golf also Features a Second Course and Delicious Ice Cream

As mentioned above, the course is now open, along with the original "Serenity Falls" course. Pricing and hours can be found on Martel's website. I think I'm ready for a 36-hole challenge, with some ice cream to go along with it.
