How much did a round of mini golf cost when the original Putt-Putt Fun Center opened in 1954?
Family entertainment used to be a LOT cheaper than it is now!
Founded in 1954 in Fayetteville, NC Putt-Putt® cost only 25 cents per round. In the mid ’80s it cost around $1.75 per game. Nowadays, it’s $10 per game, but … families still love it! The National Golf Foundation reports that in 2021, 18 million people played mini golf an average of four times that year in the United States.
My girls were experts at Puttputt! They beat their dates soundly years ago! The guys didn't know what hit them. Seriously, it was an economical and fun time now and then!
