Founded in 1954 in Fayetteville, NC Putt-Putt® cost only 25¢ per round! As the world’s first and only copyrighted and branded miniature golf game, all courses were built to exact standards to create a game enjoyed by children and adults alike. Putt-Putt pioneered the use of high quality outdoor carpet and aluminum bump boards and unique obstacles for a consistent roll and bounce. Our skill-based game gave rise to the Professional Putters Association (PPA) that still exists today and has awarded over $8 million in prize money to some of the best putters in the world. All tournaments are played on Putt-Putt copyrighted courses.
Putt-Putt began franchising in the 1950’s and quickly spread across the country and became a brand synonymous with its mission: A safe, clean, affordable entertainment venue for families within their own communities. As the company grew, other attractions were tested and added to expand the original franchise model of two or three Putt-Putt Golf courses into a complete family entertainment center.
