For families looking for an activity that combines friendly competition with a little mystery, Scooby-Doo! Mystery Putt brings the familiar characters of Mystery Inc. into an indoor mini-golf experience in Pigeon Forge.

About Scooby-Doo! Mystery Putt

Scooby-Doo! Mystery Putt is an indoor, themed mini-golf attraction in Pigeon Forge built around the world of Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. gang.

Players make their way through a series of themed holes while encountering familiar characters, scenes, and mystery-inspired elements along the course. The combination of mini golf and storytelling gives younger visitors something to look at and explore between shots.

The indoor setting also makes the attraction practical for families who need an alternative when rain or cooler weather interrupts outdoor plans.

Because mini golf is relatively easy to enjoy across different ages, it can work well for families with children, grandparents traveling with grandchildren, and groups of friends.

Why Guests Love It

A familiar theme for kids
Children who know Scooby-Doo can recognize the characters and mystery elements throughout the experience, making the game feel more immersive than a standard mini-golf course.

Indoor entertainment
Rain does not have to mean a cancelled activity. The indoor setting gives families another option when outdoor plans need to change.

Friendly competition
Mini golf naturally creates an easy group activity where everyone can play together and keep track of the scores.

Good for mixed-age groups
You don’t need to be an experienced golfer to enjoy the course, making it accessible for families with different ages and abilities.

A relaxed alternative to bigger attractions
After a busy morning of rides or sightseeing, a round of mini golf can provide a slower-paced activity while still keeping everyone engaged.

Insider Tips

• Check current operating hours before visiting. Schedules can change seasonally.
• Plan enough time to complete the course without rushing. Larger groups may naturally take longer.
• Consider keeping score as a family challenge. A little friendly competition can make the experience even more memorable.
• This is a good rainy-day option. Keep it in mind if an outdoor activity on your itinerary gets interrupted by weather.
• Younger children may need some help with putting. Adults can make it a shared activity rather than simply keeping score.
• Consider visiting during a less-busy period if your group is large and you’d prefer a more relaxed pace.

Stay Hello Sunshine Tip

Make the game part of your group’s vacation story.

Choose teams, give everyone a playful nickname, and see who can finish the course with the lowest score. Don’t worry too much about who wins — the better souvenir is the collection of funny shots, missed putts, and family moments along the way.

Then return to Sunshine Around the Bend and keep the friendly competition going in the cabin’s Dolly Parton-themed game room. A little rivalry can make a family vacation even more memorable.
