Professor Hacker’s Lost Treasure Golf

​⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | The "Indiana Jones" of Mini-Golf (Minus the Giant Boulder) ​If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a world-class explorer while holding a neon-colored putter and wearing flip-flops, Professor Hacker’s Lost Treasure Golf is your holy grail. ​The Grand Entrance ​The experience starts with a yellow mining train that takes you to the top of the "mountain." Is it strictly necessary to ride a train 40 yards uphill to start a game of golf? Absolutely not. Is it the highlight of my entire week? Yes. There is something majestic about being shuttled to your first tee like a 1920s gold prospector who forgot his mule and brought a group of rowdy kids instead. ​The Course (or "The Jungle") ​We chose the Diamond Course, because we aren't here for "easy gold." The landscaping is aggressive in the best way possible. You’re putting around: ​A Massive Volcano: I’m 90% sure it doesn't actually erupt, but I still checked for lava before every stroke. ​The Pirate Ship: Nothing says "pro-golfer" like trying to bank a ball off the hull of a shipwreck while a waterfall drowns out the sound of your own internal frustration. ​The Plane Crash: It really adds a layer of realism to my "crash and burn" putting style. ​The Mystery Hole ​At the end, they have a Mystery Hole. If you get a hole-in-one on the secret hole of the day, you win a free game. I didn't win, but the suspense was more intense than a Formula 1 qualifying lap. ​Final Verdict ​This place is "Pigeon Forge Peak." It’s loud, it’s themed to the heavens, and it’s well-maintained. Whether you’re a technical player or you just like hitting the ball as hard as you can and hoping for a miracle bounce off a Mayan temple, you’ll have a blast. ​Pro-Tip: If you go at night, the lighting makes the waterfalls look incredible—plus, it’s the only way to play without sweating through your favorite Carhartt shirt.

This is one of the best mini golf places we’ve been to! They were very creative with their courses, and at the beginning you can take a little train around the course to your starting point! There’s also a treasure story you can read along the way. It rained while we were golfing but it was still so much fun! And there are shaded areas inside little caves. We did the Gold Course (18 holes), and for two people it was about $30 and took roughly an hour for us to go through it. It wasn’t super busy when we went. Highly recommend!

This is the 2nd time my husband and I have been here. We brought our girls this time and they had a blast. We went later on in the evening which was great because there were less people. It can get hot when you are in the caves so make sure you bring water. They have a vending machine on the course and also in the front. Great time and we will be back on our next vacation.

My daughter and I had a blast playing the Gold course! The space is well-maintained and offered numerous opportunities to be in the shade which was wonderful in the hot TN summer! Staff was friendly and helpful, all around such a fun experience and we would come play again!

A fun well kept place. Not so very simple yet not so overly hard. We enjoyed our times here and the train ride to the top is quaint but part of the enjoyment! However, I do think they’re a little pricey.
