When your are visiting Anna Maria Island with your family sometimes this question comes up: “What is there to do on the Island before or after we go to the beach?”  The answer is located on Bridge Street in Bradenton Beach, where there is a wonderful 18 hole miniature golf course called  The “Fish hole”  and offers entertainment for the entire family.

The Fish Hole goes way beyond traditional miniature golf calling itself adventure golf with waterfalls, lagoons, and treacherous handicaps and with a little local history and fishing education mixed in.  The ice house and water tower are complete with running water and based on actual buildings which once existed in the historic Cortez fishing village. The old wooden bridge represents the original bridge from Cortez to Anna Maria. They are continually gathering historical information about Anna Maria and Cortez to be placed around the beautifully landscaped grounds.

A round of golf is $7.50 per person for both adults and kids, they have clubs for all heights from children to tall adults.  If you need a break, you can rest in one of their colorful rocking chairs.  For more ideas and other great activities on the Island visit our Anna Maria Island Blog.
