When you’re looking for a fun outdoor activity that everyone will enjoy, mini golf is a great go-to. It’s the perfect way to spend time interacting with loved ones, and the extra putting practice might even lower your handicap on the links.
There’s a mini-golf course right here in Illinois that is much more than just a series of putting greens. This course has a Congo River theme, and you’re going to love it.
Welcome to Congo River Adventure Golf! You’ve never seen a mini golf course quite like this, and you’re about to go on an adventure unlike any other.
Congo River Golf/Facebook Address: 1325 Barrington Road, Hoffman Estates, IL, 60169
Most mini-golf places offer an 18-hole course. Congo River Adventure Golf has TWO 18-hole courses. Play 18 holes for $9.75, or play all 36 for just $14.75 (rates for kids and seniors are $8.50 and $13.25).

…and right onto the water, where you’ll have to be careful, or your ball will end up at the bottom of the river.
