Mini Golf in Maine Has a Fine Legacy

I've always had a soft spot for mini golf. It's such a fun activity and brings back memories of many great rounds with family and friends. I remember playing a ton as a kid, especially at Westerly Winds (RIP) in Westbrook, Pirate's Cove in Old Orchard Beach, and Steamboat Landing in Naples.

Sadly, I haven’t played as much in recent years. But that doesn't change the fact that I absolutely love it. And it's difficult not to, considering how lucky we are to have so many wonderful courses in this state—especially in the southern region.
