Professor Hacker’s Lost Treasure Golf

Looking for the most unique mini-golf experience in Pigeon Forge? Professor Hacker's Lost Treasure Golf takes the classic putt-putt adventure to new heights - literally. Your journey begins with a mining train ride that carries you to the mountaintop starting point, where you'll then golf your way back down through two distinct 18-hole courses.

As you navigate the courses, you'll encounter elaborate obstacles including a full-sized pirate ship, ancient temple ruins, and an active "volcano" complete with flowing water effects. The courses wind through cave tunnels and past rushing waterfalls, making each hole feel like part of a larger adventure rather than just another round of mini-golf.

The downhill layout creates natural flow between holes, though it does mean you'll be walking down ramps and slopes throughout your game. Most players complete one course in about an hour, though wait times at holes can extend this during peak summer evenings.

What really sets Professor Hacker's Lost Treasure Golf apart from other Pigeon Forge attractions is its commitment to theming - every element, from the train ride to the course obstacles, ties into the treasure hunting narrative. The attention to detail in the props and scenery makes it feel like you're putting your way through an adventure movie set.

Kids especially love the initial train journey, but the creative hole designs and interactive elements keep players of all ages engaged throughout the entire course. While the downhill terrain might challenge those with mobility issues, most visitors find the courses very manageable and well-maintained.
