Gator Golf is a children's miniature golf game released in 1994 by the American game company Milton Bradley, later part of Hasbro. Players take turns putting a ball into the mouth of a motorized plastic alligator figure. The alligator then flings the ball off its tail and spins around, which creates a new challenge for the next player. The game was invented by the toymaker Robert B. Fuhrer, who had also developed the 1990 game Crocodile Dentist, and he first pitched it to Milton Bradley in November 1992 under the name Crocodile Dentist Golf. It debuted at the 1994 American International Toy Fair and became one of the most popular children's toys of the 1994 Christmas season. It was reissued in 2008 without the spins, again in 2009 under the Elefun and Friends banner, and in 2019 by Goliath Games with a redesigned gator that carries birds on its back to keep the score.
