December is South Florida's reward: warm days, low humidity, and none of the afternoon storms of the rainy season. It is the best time of year for the simplest pleasures, and few are simpler than a round of mini golf. A putter, a ball, and a family that does not keep score too seriously, and the afternoon takes care of itself.

Palmetto Mini Golf, a classic under the palms

At Palmetto Golf Course on SW 152nd Street in Miami, the Miami-Dade parks course keeps things old-school: an 18-hole layout with caves, waterfalls, and a route that plays well for small children and grandparents alike. It is one of the more affordable family outings in the county, and it sits next to a full public golf facility if anyone wants more. Call (305) 238-2922 to confirm hours before you go.

AllGolf at C.B. Smith Park, two courses and more

In Pembroke Pines, AllGolf at C.B. Smith Park on North Flamingo Road runs two lit 18-hole mini golf courses, plus a driving range and batting cages, so one trip covers several opinions of fun. Evening games are a good choice on warm weekends, when the lights come on and the course cools down. (954) 441-1333.

Puttshack, mini golf with a tech twist

For families who like their mini golf with a scoreboard, Puttshack on level four of Brickell City Centre in downtown Miami pairs classic putting with automatic ball tracking and scoring. It is indoor, air-conditioned, and a solid choice for a rainy Saturday or a hot midday. All ages are welcome during the day; evenings skew adult, so plan an earlier visit with children. (786) 233-7888.

Puttery in Wynwood, all ages by day

Puttery, on NW 28th Street in the Wynwood arts district, turns mini golf into an art installation: nine holes with bold lighting and design. It is open to all ages through the week and until 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, then 21 and older in the evenings. Go for a late-morning round and make a day of the neighborhood afterward.

A family rhythm, not a competition

The best mini golf outings have nothing to do with skill. Let the youngest player putt first, allow everyone one mulligan, and remember that the windmill and the waterfall are the real attractions. Nanci Gilbert, PA recommends these spots to the families she works with: open air, easy rules, and a stop for ice cream on the way home.
