Perhaps the most underrated family outing, date idea or place to take your friends on the weekend, and certainly one of the cheapest is and always will be mini golf.

I don't care if you're 7 years old or 70. Even if you have no idea how to correctly hold a putter, once you're on the course, the unique combination of competitiveness and sheer entertainment takes over.

Most people would say that golf is horrible. They'll usually cite the fact that you have to be really, really good at it to have a good time, or that you have to wake up before dawn to get on the course, only to spend half your day looking for a little white ball in the tick infested woods that surround the fairway.

Fear not, for these these five Jersey Shore mini golf destinations will keep you engaged and amused from start to finish.
