A small hidden gem in the middle of manassas and right next to the best ice cream place in town. Play some putt putt and get a sweet treat! You can play an 18 hold course for $6 and the second 18 hole course (36 holes) for an addition $3 or $9 total. Like what?! That's a bargain. Granted, all the holes are par 2, there isn't very much variation between the two courses. If there's a hole with split path on one course, there will be one on the second. However, it doesn't diminish the fun you'll have. Always a good choice to come here for some putt putt. read more

Magic Putting Place - Multiple holes on one course - Mini Golf Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

Fun mini golf course located right next to Nathan's Dairy Bar. It's in a shopping center with a large parking lot so finding a place to park isn't a problem. There are two courses of 18 holes each and they aren't the larger or newest holes but a few of them are more challenging than you'd think. Prices are reasonable and they weren't too crowded around noon on a Saturday. I enjoyed this place and played one course so I'll come back sometime to try the other one. read more

I had never heard of this place until the other day. They have 2 courses each 18 holes long, so very long. Of course, we only did one course. You can do the second for $3.50 more. Otherwise it's $6 pp. They have the normal windmills, water, etc. Cute photo ops along the way. Plenty of parking (in a shopping center) and public restrooms. I'd come back and do the other course. read more

Nice mini golf course, even if in a bad location. It's a bit out of the way for us, but the prices were reasonable and the course is well maintained. One of the better outdoor mini golf courses in the area. read more

We've been here one or two times before since we were already here getting ice cream but we decided to make another visit since it was on the way home. They basically have two 18 hole courses, the first is $5/person and if you want to do the second course it's only another $3 more. We obviously did both because that seems like a pretty nice deal to me. Surprisingly, it was not that busy for a really nice Saturday and we eventually had the whole place to ourselves so no rushing either. The course is pretty fun, some holes looks a little similar but for the most part there are a good amount of challenging ones. It's a nice place to take family or a date, you can't really go wrong. Also a plus, you can get ice cream next door afterwords. read more

So cheap for NoVa! We play mini golf in the Shenandoah, in middle of nowhere, and it costs more there! The course is challenging enough, shady and well maintained. Nathan's ice cream is right next door. Perfect family outing for summer day. read more

This is a great little place, tucked away in an unlikely spot. If you need to get out with the kids for a bit when the weather is decent, this is a great option. There are two 18-hole courses, and you can do one or both. The prices are really good ($5 for one round, extra $3 for the second), and it's nice to be able to do some family-oriented fun without it costing an arm and a leg. The kids love it, and it's a good diversion for an hour or so. read more

A fun spot in town to go mini golfing. It's tucked away in a small lot, but they've laid out the holes in a winding pattern that lets you get in a lot more courses than you might imaging from first glance. There are two paths you can take - we were told they're pretty similar, so it's nice if someone is on the other path and you can choose the one that's free. It's a pretty simple run, but for the amount of holes and the super cheap price, it's worth it. (Bonus points for the ice-cream shop located right next to it for an after-game treat!) read more

My family came for a fun outing in October, and we had a great time. The prices are very reasonable, and the courses were fun. The lighting could be a little bit better especially as the evening rolls around and it gets a little dark. The terrain of the courses provided a good variety, but there aren't too many physical obstacles other than that. Overall, it was pretty well-maintained and the little center that it's located in also has a brewery and ice cream parlor nearby which were nice options for before and after putting read more

It was simple, fun, and well kept. Perfect for a peaceful activity. Extremely well priced.

This mini golf place is a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. The prices are also very reasonable, especially if you pay for both courses! It's nice for a family outing and definitely would be fun for younger children. I felt like both of the courses were pretty similar so when you do one course, the second course was just flipped on the opposite side. read more

This place is a bit tiny.. and old.. BUT, it's good! Try to go off peak times because it can get crowded with kids. I know a lot of daycare centers go there for the mornings during summer camps. This place has 2 different courses.. you can start on the left.. or the right. At the end, if you get the ball inside a certain hole and make a light go off.. you get a coupon to come back for a discount or free game. The place is family owned.. the owner is this elderly fellow that is extremely nice and friendly. You can tell he loves his job. He tries to keep his golf course clean and talks to all the children. The staff is young, but friendly as well. Right next door is Nathan's ice cream. You should check both of them out if you're looking for a bit of summer, outdoor fun. read more

Nice course. Not very challenging. Good course for kids. Good price. Two 18 hole courses with similar obstacles. Close proximity to an ice cream shop. read more

As far as I know, this is the only miniature golf spot in Manassas. It looks like it's been a long time staple of the area. Located in a shopping strip named Reb Yank Center, which houses a washer/dryer repair shop, and other outdated storefronts, the golf spot fits right in. But it does have a certain quaint charm. It's a cheap evening outing for kids. $20 bucks got me 18 holes for four people. There were no grandiose holes or gadgets. Just some simple putting to the background music of classic rock. Cute. It does get backed up quickly, however. I felt the pressure of getting our party through the course quickly so that other folks behind us weren't just aimlessly waiting with nothing to do. There's nothing really to distract you unless you're playing your hole. Although there are ample amounts of benches around for patrons to cop a squat. They sell bags of chips but no real food or drink. But they're right across the street from an awesome ice cream stand. Could stand to be updated a bit but all in all this was a nice, basic activity. read more

Rounds #6 and 7 (not including H-Street because that wasn't "real golf") of the summer of mini golf took place here! Luckally we were able to add Kevin L. to our group for some instant comic relief. There were many good things about the Magic Putting Place... and some less than desireable things The Good - price: $3.50 (on a weekday before 6) for one game and only $1.50 to play another 18 holes (at any time). If gas wasn't so expensive, i would say that the trip to manasas was definitely worth the cost. -decor: I really liked the almost rustic feel to it. Everything was fairly simply (minus the windmill and magic castle) but it was nice to not have to do crazy things like climb up pirate ships or dodge T-rexs for a while. -maintenance: The course was well maintained and tidy. -proximity to frozen dairy: Always a plus when right next door The "Not so Good" - the kids! Soooo many kids!! We must have let 5 groups go in front of us, since we're serious about our mini golf and definitely took our time. -boring! A lot of the holes were pretty much the same concept (especially between the two courses) so it got kind of repetitive. The Absolutely Awesome and Amazing -Kevin and Cadence's dacing (see photo) - Be beating both Jeff AND Alicia the first round through... first time this summer as the overall winner! You two better watch out! Here i come! read more

Honestly, this is not the best mini-golf course in the world. However, it makes up for it with the friendly staff and great prices. They have two different courses to play on. Both look equally entertaining, though we only had time for one. If you are looking for a quaint, fun little place to take your kid(s) or spouse on a cheap but memorable date this is a great place to do it. Hope you try it out and have fun! read more

We visited Magic Putting Place with my son for his 6th birthday and had a blast! He's recently gotten VERY into mini golf, so finding a local course that's so much fun and so inexpensive was great! We all had a fun time and even had a couple holes in one! The course is well-maintained too. Bonus for the proximity to Nathan's Ice Cream next door! read more

Always a classic spot you can never go wrong with especially you can go a couple of yards down the road and get some ice cream from Nathan's

I'll say I was impressed at what the Magic Putting Place of Manassas had to offer: 2 semi-interesting courses at a very reasonable price. ($3.50 on a weekday before 6pm and only $1.50 to play another 18 holes). It's a colorful and interesting course that is well-maintained and requires some geometry (with the different triangles and rectangle obstacles on some greens). While we played during the day, there is definitely plenty of lights set up for when the sun goes down. My main complaint is the 18th hole. See when you're in a mini golf competition with friends and it's down to just a few putts between you and VICTORY, MPP's 18th hole can be your saving grace or be your achille's heel. It's kind set up like a Skee-Ball and whichever area your ball lands in, thats what your "score" is. So while I did lose both matches (also in part to a back injury, I was not performing at 100%), I'm inclined to say that ALL* of our 18th hole scores are not a true representation of what our final score should have been. *ALL = Alicia G, Jeff W, Michelle P, Cadence R and Kevin L That in mind, I give to you our newly updated scores between Jeff W and I. Alicia G - 3-3-1 Jeff W - 3-3-1 read more

Magic Putting Place is a startling find, literally in the middle of a parking lot in a strip mall of Manassas. The course is wonderfully maintained and looks new and clean with everything in working order, and obstacles all painted. There is also an abundance of lights throughout which I imagine looks pretty cool once the sun goes down. There are two 18-hole courses, and if you play both it costs something ridiculously inexpensive (like $5 or so). A phenomenal deal. So given the lack of availability of mini golf anywhere nearby, this would be a 4 star experience. But for an overall mini golf course, I give it a three. The two courses are essentially mirror images of each other so playing both starts to get old after a while. The designs are very basic with very few obstacles and most of the holes consisting of the standard hit it down to the far end and then make a two putt. Very few challenges, or multiple paths to choose. I really do like how straight all the brick walls are. Since a lot of mini golf strategy is about angles, a pet peeve of mine is when courses have jagged borders that send the ball into unpredictable directions. The 18th hole is always a controversial topic. I like a standard 18th hole and then a bonus 19th hole with a chance to win a free game. The absolute worst is when the 18th hole is the bonus hole. Any mini golf course with that methodology should be boycotted, in my mind. There's nothing like an impossible to score hole to suck the tension and excitement out of a game of heated mini-golf with a lot on the line. At MPP, they have a sort of hybrid. The 18th hole is the bonus hole where your ball disappears forever, but at least they offer a way to score it. It's laid out like skee-ball, and gives you a chance to score a 4, 3, 2, or 1 depending on which ring you get your ball. MPP is an exceptional value, and an oasis of fun in a desert of monotony. If you're in the area and looking for a family-friendly activity, or fun date idea, this will serve your needs nicely. With Nathan's Dairy Bar right next door, it's a perfect summertime combination. For flat out mini-golf though, I wouldn't really go too far out of my way to come here. Aside from the excellent maintenance of it, the course design just isn't that much fun. read more

Cute little miniature golf location right next to Nathan's Dairy. It's been around for ages, but it is nicely maintained. Price for 18 holes of golf after 6 pm is $5.00 on weekdays (before 6 it is $4.50), which compared to some places is quite reasonable. Cheap, even. The greens are okay, no rips or tears. Clubs and golfballs are in good shape. The decor is nice - there's a waterfall, castle, windmill, small buildings and an actual golf cart to add interest. Lots of trees for shade.There is a large area in the middle where water should be, but it is now a big dry hole. Not as appealing as it could be, but whatever. There are actually two different 18-hole courses but I think they are similar in challenge. They have a bargain price if you want to play all 36 holes. When we were there, the sound system was playing a Classic Rock radio station, which was okay with me. Average sound, good music. The course itself isn't super challenging, most holes are Par 2. But it's fun. read more

Summary: Two well maintained mini golf courses at a great price. The course we played seemed to have all new grass and putting mats and a fresh coat of paint. Lots of fun with the kids mid day, it has festive looking lights and stays open past dusk. The location is a little challenging. It shares a parking lot with an old strip mall and sits along the street. The plus is there is a ton of parking. Down side is some road noise and less shade, although there are lots of mature trees on the lot. The price is great, especially if you play both courses. The water features were turned off and drained when we were there, otherwise I would give 5 stars. read more

We're so happy we found this place! Very clean and fun. It's well maintained, and they're taking extra steps to keep everyone safe during these Covid times. We'll be back! read more

They have 2 courses which is always nice. The price is very reasonable to play. The course is a bit run down but still nice.

This minigolf course is very very basic. This would be fun for families, especially for children. However all but one of the holes are par 2 which should tell you everything you need to know about the mini golf course. The above reviews are extremely misleading, probably written by people to advertise the course. It is not challenging, it is not a "cute little gem", there is nothing cute about it, no frills, no charm, it is a great price at $4 a round then $2 for extra rounds. This is a very basic mini golf course, even the photos are misleading, as the windmill and castle are the only frills, the rest of the holes are simple carpet without any embellishments. This is a place that I would take small children, I certainly would not take a date here. My date and I played both courses in less than an hour and then wondered what we would do next. read more

This is the best mini golfing experience I have had in the Manassas area! My family and I spent the afternoon at the Magic Putting Place and had a BALL! There are two different courses, both fun and challenging. The course was clean and well kept and we were even able to sit and enjoy our Nathan's Ice Cream right on the course after our game! The staff was kind and very helpful. I recommend this to anyone looking for a day of family fun. read more

This place is a hidden gem and we'll definitely be back! There are two courses, we did the windmill, and it was fun and challenging for the younger ones. Staff was very nice, place was clean, and course was well maintained. At $4.5 on the weekends and $4 on weekdays we've definitely found a new favorite!! read more

As previous reviewers have stated, the course could use some work, but it's not a big deal. Was good, clean family fun on a lovely evening. Ice cream next door is a real plus. Note: the hours on yelp are not correct -- it is open until 10pm (not 8pm) on Saturdays. After completing the first course, we opted for the second course for $2 per person, which is a real deal. The game took us until 10:30. The front desk guy did not rush us at all, we played at our leisure. We will definitely be back! read more

Super fun ! The girl working there, Rachel, is a sweetheart. Clean, good staff, affordable, and a fun round a mini golf ! Would go again ! read more

This mini golf place was wonderful! Reasonably priced, clean and exactly what we hoped it would be. We thought it was in great shape and well cared for. and we thoroughly enjoyed our game. Check this place out!! read more

Cute little place to go with the kids. Price was good. I had a chance to visit this place in this summer and it was nice. The weather was blazing hot, but I liked the course decorations. I guessed there will have a water fountain, but that wasn't the case. I had to buy over priced water at the counter and had to survive. I have to remember to bring water next time I visit. I liked the variation of the course and difficulty levels. Oh, the bathroom may be slippery..watch your step in there. read more

Because I feel like I'm in Disneyworld, also because i really can't compare it with any other place. If i compared it to any mini golf joints in Myrtle or Florida, they drop off the charts. But i like it for nice little date. Yelping is cool !! hopefully my opinion is useful read more

Cute little course in a strange location (the middle of a parking lot). Friendly staff, great price and well maintained courses. Although, I may be biased because my fiance and I got engaged here over the summer :) read more

I have been to this place twice...the first time was with work and we brought our special education students there and lets just say it's extremely inaccessible to anyone in a wheelchair(we had 4 students in manual chairs and 1 in a power chair) myself and another assistant had to help the student in the power chair get through the course which was hard for us as well as the student...the student is very independent and does not like having to rely on others to get around in their chair therefore the student was very frustrated the whole trip! the second time was with friends and it was a little better but I guess I was still upset about the last time I had trouble having a good time...there are a ton of other mini golf places go to one of them not here! read more

This is a great place to go for some relaxing fun. It's not crowded (even today on Memorial Day). It's just the standard mini golf and really good for kids. It's really fun. They have 10 colors of balls. read more

super cute mini golf place. You can choose from 2 different courses and when you're finished with one round, you can complete the other course for $2/pp. My girls and I had a fun day on the Windmill course, although it was a very busy day and it took us quite a while to play. I felt a little rushed, because we had to wait on the people in front of us, but wanted to allow the people behind us to play, too. Nothing I can blame on the course, just a busy day. Very affordable for a fun afternoon activity! read more

The pluses of this place are: the price - $4.50 for 18 holes, an extra $2 if you want to play a full 36; the atmosphere - clean, family-owned, friendly woman working the counter; and a nice local business - this is probably the only mini-golf place in Manassas. But sentimentality aside folks, this place really isn't worth it unless you're in Manassas to start with, or you're trying to entertain little kids and have no other ideas. A few "areas for improvement": -not sure what course the most recent commenter was looking at, but went today, and the greens (astroturf) is pretty worn. Doesn't have holes in it, but there are a LOT of places where it is black and not green. -the course is REALLY basic. Most of the holes slope in some direction or another. Some of them have little metal blocks you can bang your ball off. But there's just a lot of room for improvement in each of these holes. For example, why do you showcase a windmill OR a magic castle, but put them above the holes? Aren't things like that, on a mini-golf course, supposed to be impediments for me to putt around? Props for the 18th hole, on both courses, which has a "skee-ball" element to it; but otherwise, most of the 36 holes were just lacking. -Front and back courses, each 18 holes, are almost identical. I imagine this is by design, and i get it. on crowded days, it spreads people out, and more people can play without waiting. But it's just boring and uncreative. I don't know. This place has a lot of potential to be a hidden gem of an amazing mini-golf place, and i left feeling just kinda eh. read more

Probably pretty fun for kids, but pretty lame for adults. It's certainly NOT impressive at all. But it was inexpensive and it's right next to a pretty yummy ice cream stand. read more
