Baha Mar's Mini Blue Golf Course is definitely not dull; a course not to be taken for granted.

So, when I heard Baha Mar had introduced a mini golf course to its list of activations, my thoughts immediately turned to the putt-putt golf I used to play on dates with my hubby when on vacation – you know the one where you putted the golf ball into the clown’s mouth or the windmill, or the devil’s eye. Suffice it to say, I wasn’t entirely enthused about going out for a round of putt-putt, but I’m always up to take one for the team. And I’m glad I did.

I quickly realized that Mini Blue is unlike any of those putt-putt courses I had played in the past. It is in fact a professionally inspired 18-hole mini golf course.

I made my way to the Mini Blue Clubhouse to check in, arriving just ahead of my 4 p.m. tee time with hubby in tow to give it the old “college try”, because if I had to play a round, he had to “suffer” with me. And then there was the fact that it was really hot cause there’s no such thing as springtime in The Bahamas, so I was in a dress, and didn’t even have the most rudimentary of proper golf attire.

I honestly didn’t know if I would make it through 18 holes.

At the Mini Blue Clubhouse we were presented with a choice of two clubs – both putters, the mallet (chubby) or the regular putter which made me smile. I went with the regular putter simply because I figured it would be a lark. Actually, it was going to be a lark all around having to play the course with a putter, a club used to make relatively short and low-speed strokes with the intention of rolling the ball into the hole from a short distance away. God help me if I found myself in a hazard situation like the water, up against a bunker or playing through vegetation.

We were apprised of the rules by Mini Clubhouse staff, and sent on our way.
Rounding the clubhouse to hole number one, my first glimpse of the course left me awestruck. It was definitely unlike any putt-putt course I’d ever seen.
