Personally, I think it's a fun idea, but I'm often told that girls around here think it's boring and stupid, (okay, so most of my first date ideas have been called "stupid" (like playing with an inflatable bumper ball, go-karts or inflatable sumo suits), so I don't always suggest it. It IS in with the early date ideas, if it's summer.
I HAVE done minigolf once - it didn't work out, but not anything related to the game (not that I know of, anyway).
Personally, I USUALLY do coffee because it's inexpensive, and if they're obnoxious, or I am not feeling it, I can bow out with some grace, but again, that's my own preference.
The cool part about any "game date" is that if you're both having a good time, you can up the stakes (The loser buys the winner a coffee/ice cream/etc... or if you're both into it, the loser gives the winner a kiss...)
And... I wouldn't let her win. Just play your best - DO be a gentleman, but that doesn't mean you have to lose.
Personally, I'd come up with three or four ideas, and if she hates all of them, and doesn't counteroffer... then I'd probably call it, because to me, if she's saying "No" to all my ideas, and not making any suggestions herself, then we probably wouldn't fit, as we apparently like VERY different things.
If a lady is comfortable with the idea, it is a good first date. It is fun but something that most people do not do very often. Constant conversation is not expected but the experience seems to promote conversation. If your date has any problems whatsoever, you can offer to show her by standing behind her and guiding her through the putting motions. . . and that might just feel good, too.
A guy took me mini-golfing a little while ago, being part imbecile, I accidentally hit him with the freaking golf stick. But I'd say it's fine if you take a normal person.
I shouldn't say this as I'm a guy so I know how painful it can be, but I honestly was imagining him getting tapped in the balls with your golfstick with him behind you or you swinging back to far. Or you hit the ball harder then you meant and it ricochets off one of the course blocks and bounced back and hits him in the balls lol
Not a bad idea but here is my recommendation: Bottle of wine and a picnic. Set up a canopy with some string lights on it and a table for two underneath it. Set the table nice with a single red rose in a vase. Light two candles. Put it in a setting that is really romantic (but not your house or a place that is secluded or she may think you're weird.) You could try a park or maybe a place with an ocean or lake view. If you can't cook just order something from a restaurant. (She'll think it's sweet if you do this and you can't cook) After dinner take her by the lake and hold hands and just have a romantic walk. At the end of the date play her something on an instrument (or just do karaoke if you can't play) I guarantee you'll get a second date.
Yeah, I think it's a good idea. It's fun and takes some of the pressure off. There's less pressure to keep the conversation flowing the entire time. It also presents opportunities for some light flirting.
Yeah I think it can be fun. 1. It won’t be so awkward since you guys aren’t just sitting and staring at each other xD. 2. Just enjoying the moment and conversations at the same time. makes it less pressured. 🙂have fun!
Sure. It's fun, you get some exercise, some time to chat between holes, relatively inexpensive. 'v been to both kinds, and I'd go to an outdoor place rather than one of those indoor, black-light places, though.
If she is new to putting a golf ball, this is a good opportunity to wrap your arms around her and show her how to hold the stick!

If the location is as stylish as in the pic, it is an ok idea. Not perfect as there is always the danger that the game takes up too much space. Focus should always be on dialogue. I hope you can get drinks there! Here in Germany, mini-golf is considered very, very old-fashioned and the locations are usually too.
Ask.. the person if they want to go there.. as you both get older money becomes a thing options become important.. reguardless the idea is to have fun get to know each other on a personal level.. a place where you can get sum food fun activity, relax and sit.. is key functions..
well they might not even remember or keep track if they don't use a score card. I'd play without keeping track. You'd remember what you got in one hole, but don't put the scores together or purposely not to remember how they add up each hole. But just the present one. That way it's fun and winner or loser is not cared about or kept track of.
