Monster Mini Golf

Monster Mini Golf is a family entertainment franchise that operates indoor miniature golf centers with a distinctive glow-in-the-dark, monster-themed atmosphere. The company was founded in 2004 by Christina and Patrick Vitagliano, who opened the first location in Danielson, Connecticut. Their vision was to reinvent mini golf by creating an immersive environment with blacklight effects, playful monster décor, and interactive elements that appeal to guests of all ages. Franchising began just a year later, and the brand steadily expanded its reach across the United States.

As of November 2025, Monster Mini Golf has grown to 33 franchised locations nationwide, with a presence in states such as Texas, California, Florida, and Maryland. Each venue offers an 18-hole indoor mini golf course, a full arcade, party rooms, and additional attractions like laser mazes and mini bowling. These features allow Monster Mini Golf to serve a broad audience, including families, young adults, and corporate groups, and to host a variety of events throughout the year, regardless of weather.

Over the past five years, the company has maintained a steady pace of growth, marked by new franchise openings and active recruitment of franchisees and real estate partners. The brand has focused its expansion on both established and emerging markets, with particular interest in Texas, California, Florida, the Midwest, and the Northeast. This approach has allowed Monster Mini Golf to adapt to different markets while delivering a consistent guest experience.

The company remains independently owned and headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island, with its founders and leadership team closely involved in daily operations and franchise development. Monster Mini Golf is recognized for its ability to attract steady foot traffic and host large group events, making it a strong fit for shopping centers, lifestyle centers, and mixed-use developments. Its recognizable branding and multi-attraction format have helped establish the company as a credible and reliable tenant for landlords and real estate professionals seeking experiential concepts that drive engagement and repeat visits.
