Artsy mini-golf & garden in Miami, Florida
A new attraction in south Florida combines mini-golf, a garden and contemporary art.
MIAMI -- Back 9 is a new mini-golf course located in the city's Upper East Side Garden, at 7244 Biscayne Blvd. It's open Friday-Sunday, 11 a.m.-10 p.m. and Thursdays, 6 p.m.-10 p.m.
The park is filled with exotic tropical plants, and each hole features a work of art. Many of them colorful and whimsical creations that appeal to kids by artists such as Bhakti Baxter, Tao Rey, Daniel Arsham, Hernan Bas, Roberto Behar and Rosario Marquardt, Natalia Benedetti, Jiae Hwang, Martin Oppel, Ali Prosch, Bert Rodriguez, and Cristina Lei Rodriguez.
The cost to play is $5, which gives you unlimited access for the day. For kids under 18 and seniors 65 and over, the price is $3.
The course is the brainchild of Peter Rozek, an art enthusiast who says his goal was "to create an outdoor venue in the city that was both inexpensive and fun." Families might enjoy taking the kids through the course in the afternoon or early evening after dinner, while young professionals and hipsters may want to wait until after dark for a fun evening out with friends.
