MONMOUTH MINI-GOLF OFFERS FUN FOR ALL AGES

Want to put your putting skills to test at a place that provides laughs and memorable moments? Look no further than Puttskee’s Mini-Golf, located next to the skate park in Monmouth.

For the past decade and a half, Bob Klinsky has been tinkering with Puttskee’s, and it may be better than ever before. It was more than 15 years ago that Klinsky opened Puttskee’s Mini-Golf after noticing a need for an outdoor activity the whole family could enjoy together. He hasn’t stopped improving the course since.

“I want to make it challenging enough that people want to come back and beat their score,” Klinsky said. “Otherwise, they won’t come back.”

The course features several unique obstacles, including miniature bridges, a modified basketball hoop and holes surrounded by two steep hills.

If a particular challenge looks a little too daunting, fear not. Each hole offers multiple paths, ensuring each round is different than the last. And the “course rules” are there to make sure everyone — from the person just picking up a putter to the experienced golfer — has a blast.

And it’s not just families who drop by. Everyone from kids learning to putt for the first time to a group of friends looking to settle a score can be seen on any given day.

“We had a group of high school kids come out here for their prom,” Klinsky said. “They took a photo and played the course all dressed in their formal wear.”

At only $3 per person, this is an affordable activity the entire family can experience together.

Puttskee’s is open seven days a week and operates during the summer.

Operating hours are dependent on weather, so call ahead or check on the course’s website: www.puttskeesminigolf.com.
