About Crave Golf Club
Looking for the most unique mini-golf experience in Pigeon Forge? Crave Golf Club takes the classic putt-putt concept and elevates it with two distinct 19-hole courses - one candy-themed indoor course that's perfect for rainy days or summer heat, and a rooftop outdoor course offering sweeping mountain views.
The indoor course immerses players in a whimsical world of oversized lollipops, gummy bears, and ice cream cones, with clever obstacles that challenge both kids and adults. Meanwhile, the outdoor rooftop course provides a more traditional mini-golf experience with the added bonus of panoramic Smoky Mountain scenery.
Beyond golf, this Pigeon Forge attraction includes mini bowling lanes and professionally designed escape rooms that require advance booking, especially during peak seasons. The on-site candy shop features both modern and nostalgic treats, though prices can add up quickly if you're not careful.
Smart visitors take advantage of the seven-day replay pass ($3) for multiple rounds during their stay. For maximum value, consider the Park Hopper Pass, which combines Crave Golf Club access with other local attractions like TopJump for significant savings - particularly beneficial for families.
While walk-ins are welcome, weekend evenings can get busy, especially during tourist season. The indoor course means weather never spoils the fun, making Crave Golf Club a reliable year-round attraction. Plan on spending about 45 minutes per course, longer if you're playing with young children or stopping for candy breaks between rounds.
Amenities & Features
Don't Miss
Candy-Themed Indoor Course
This 19-hole indoor course is like playing through Willy Wonka's factory. The climate control makes it perfect year-round, and the creative candy-themed obstacles keep kids entertained for hours. It's challenging enough for adults but not frustrating for little ones.
Rooftop Outdoor Course
The 19-hole rooftop course gives you incredible views of the Smoky Mountains while you play. It's more challenging than the indoor course with elevation changes and tricky angles. Best part is playing under the stars when they're open late.
Escape Rooms
They've got multiple themed escape rooms that are actually well-designed and challenging. We've done a few and they're not just thrown together like some places. Book ahead though - they fill up fast on weekends.
Mini Bowling
For an extra $5, you can add mini bowling to your visit. It's not full-size but it's fun for kids and a nice break between golf rounds. The lanes are well-maintained and the scoring system actually works.
Candy Shop & Ice Cream
The candy shop is dangerous for your wallet but amazing for kids. They've got every candy you can imagine plus soft-serve ice cream. Fair warning - this is where your budget goes to die if you have sweet-toothed kids.
Seven-Day Replay Pass
For just $3 extra, you get unlimited replays for a full week. This is honestly the best deal in Pigeon Forge if you're staying more than a couple days. We always buy it and end up coming back at least twice.
