Professor Hacker's Lost Treasure Golf

Set out on a treasure-hunting adventure at Professor Hacker’s Lost Treasure Golf in the heart of Pigeon Forge. Featuring two 18-hole miniature golf courses, this immersive attraction takes families on an expedition filled with caves, waterfalls, hidden treasures, and plenty of surprises along the way.

The adventure follows the story of Professor Duffer A. Hacker, an explorer, archaeologist, anthropologist, paleontologist, and part-time taxidermist from the University of Chicago. According to the attraction’s story, Professor Hacker led two expeditions to the mysterious Fogclift Islands off the coast of South America during the 1920s in search of ancient gold and diamond mines.

During his expedition, Professor Hacker discovered an old mining train built by the Germans during World War I. Today, guests can climb aboard the mining car and ride to the top of the mountain, where their own search for lost treasure begins.

Choose your course and putt your way through an elaborate adventure filled with caves, waterfalls, a pirate ship, a temple, and a volcano. The detailed scenery and expedition theme turn each round of miniature golf into a treasure hunt as players follow in Professor Hacker’s footsteps in search of gold and diamonds.

With two different 18-hole courses to explore, families can choose one expedition or play both for even more adventure. The combination of imaginative theming, scenic surroundings, and friendly competition makes Lost Treasure Golf an entertaining activity for families, couples, and groups visiting the Smoky Mountains.

Professor Hacker’s Lost Treasure Golf is located at 3010 Parkway in Pigeon Forge, making it a convenient stop while exploring the area’s attractions, restaurants and shops. Whether you’re searching for lost treasure, challenging the family to a round of mini golf, or simply enjoying the elaborate scenery, the adventure begins when you board the mining train and follow Professor Hacker to the top of the mountain.
