Fun Facts about Mini Golf to Prepare for PPP

August 9, 2023

With our Putts & Pints For A Purpose event quickly approaching, here are some fun facts we wanted to share with you!  

There is actually a difference between Putt-Putt and Mini Golf!  

  • Putt-Putt courses are designed for low-scoring games with a lot of holes-in-one with an outcome of prizes or money.  
  • Mini golf courses incorporate wildly creative design features and lots of obstacles, so players are often trying to make the hole in a baseline of two shots. Usually just something fun to have a night out with family and or friends.  

                            5 facts about Mini Golf 

#1. Miniature golf is one game with many names. Mini golf, crazy golf, putt-putt, goofy golf, shorties, midget golf and mini putt are just a few examples of its numerous nicknames. 

#2. Mini golf usually has 18 holes. 

#3. Ohio has 92 mini golf courses.  

#4. The oldest known mini golf course in the world, the Ladies’ Putting Club of St. Andrews, is in Scotland 

#5. The first mini golf course was opened in the late 1920’s in Pinehurst, California
