Ripley's Davy Crockett Mini Golf Gatlinburg: Two Frontier Courses at Stoplight #1 on Film

Ripley's Davy Crockett Mini Golf stands at the town's front door — two 18-hole courses beside the Appy Lodge at stoplight #1, where arriving traffic first slows down. The theme is Crockett's frontier: log-cabin obstacles, animated woodland critters that comment on your putting, water hazards and split-level greens across both courses, lit for night play. The course films include a competitive two-ball match played seriously (the Mulhairs' family championship) and a full singles round testing the harder routing.

Ripley's Davy Crockett Mini Golf - Gatlinburg, Tennessee - CRAZIEST Hole In One!!!

Joe & Joy Have Landed

Joe & Joy play Ripley's Davy Crockett Mini Golf in 2026: two frontier-themed courses of interactive displays and animated animals, with Davy Crockett himself portrayed as a raccoon - and a hole-in-one the title calls the craziest. (The film is English-narrated, but its only served caption track is an auto-translation, so it loads as watch content.)

True North Due South

True North Due South play Davy Crockett in 2025 with Trenton the Sip along: ball and putter selection, shaded rest stops against the Tennessee sun, and the course's outhouse gag - the half-moon door gives it away.

Shaded rest spots matter in the Tennessee sun

The two courses

One entry buys a course; the choice matters — walkthroughs describe one as the friendlier family layout and the other as the shot-maker's, with the frontier sets shared between them. The 2019 first-visitors film does the orientation honestly: check-in, the animated figures (squirrels and raccoons with opinions), and the creek-side setting that gives the place its Gatlinburg-at-the-edge-of-the-park feel.

Where it fits

Gatlinburg mini golf is a crowded field — Hillbilly's mountain, Crave's candy courses, Circus Golf's blacklight — and Davy Crockett is the frontier-traditional entry: outdoors, spacious, at the town entrance where parking exists. Evening rounds under the lights are the local pattern the films favor.

what about dawn

what about dawn play Davy Crockett in 2018 and call it the prettiest little course going - Davy Crockett theming with honey-eating bears, turtles and ducks worked into the holes. (The film is English-narrated, but its only served caption track is an auto-translation, so it loads as watch content.)

Family math

Thirty-six holes across two courses is the town's biggest putting footprint; the family-match films treat it as a half-evening's entertainment rather than a filler stop.
