Mini Golf Scoring and Loyalty Apps

A look at minigolf, crazy golf and adventure golf scorecard and loyalty apps.

On our travels to 1,077 courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour we've used several apps to keep the score in our games.

We've seen a number of venues have introduced a mobile app to compliment or replace the traditional paper scorecard. Some of these apps are really good and help to enhance the experience. We're still fans of pencil and paper to score our rounds and have amassed a large collection of scorecards from our travels. That said, when we find an app that works well we're more than happy to download and use it. We've found the best ones are at courses that have both traditional and digital options for marking your scores as it keeps everyone happy.

The minigolf apps we've found offer a range of scoring functions, loyalty and reward schemes, games, reviews, contests, information and tips.

These are the adventure golf, crazy golf and minigolf apps available on Android and iPhone that we've found on our miniature golfing adventures:
