Mini golf in Pigeon Forge is a staple, but not every course sends you into a cave, through an outhouse, and into a treehouse full of bears before your round is over. At Lost Mine, our 18-hole mining-themed Pigeon Forge putt putt course is packed with interactive theming and trick shots designed to make every hole feel like its own mini adventure. Here are four holes that make our course one you’ll want to play again and again.
Summary
Lost Mine’s Pigeon Forge putt putt course is built around an interactive mining theme, with standout holes like the optical illusion Mining Cave, the playful Outhouse Putt-Thru, the explosive TNT Twist, and the storybook Treetop Clubhouse. Across all 18 holes, players find honey mines, creek jumps, sluice switchbacks, and bear-filled meadows that mix skill, theming, and a little bit of silliness into one memorable round on our miniature golf course in Pigeon Forge.
Hole 4: Mining Cave

Step “into the mine” and prepare your eyes to play tricks on you. Mining Cave features an intriguing infinity mirror that will make you question every shot you take, all while you putt through the darkness of an actual cave setting. Watch out for explosives along the way and keep an eye out for hibernating bears. It’s a hole that puts you in the shoes of a real miner — and tests your focus in a way no ordinary green ever could.
Hole 17: Outhouse Putt-Thru
Leave it to us to turn an outhouse into one of the most memorable holes on the course. The Outhouse Putt-Thru challenges your precision by requiring you to sink your ball straight into the chute of an outhouse to reach the other side of the green. It’s a playful, slightly silly twist that adds an extra dose of fun and strategy to your round — and it’s guaranteed to get a laugh out of your group before you move on to the next hole.
Hole 18: TNT Twist

Save your best shot for last. TNT Twist sends your golf ball on a thrilling journey through a 45-degree mine spiral track, navigating past a crashed mine cart along the way. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out, the TNT bear makes its appearance, complete with special effects that add an explosive finish to your round. It’s the perfect high-energy sendoff to an 18-hole adventure through the mine.
Hole 11: Treetop Clubhouse
At the Treetop Clubhouse, every golfer faces a choice: thread your shot through the tree trunk for a perfect score, or miss and take the winding loop around instead. Either path leads to the same charming destination — a treehouse nestled among a gathering of playful bears, complete with whimsical smoke and audio effects that make the hole feel straight out of a storybook. It’s proof that even a missed shot at Lost Mine can still be a win.
These four holes are just a taste of what’s waiting for you across our full 18-hole course, where honey mines, creek jumps, sluice switchbacks, and bear-filled meadows keep every round fresh from start to finish.
