We'll skip the corny "it's out of this world" jokes and just say we attract a lot of miniature golf fans from a lot of far-off places.  Come on by - it's worth the trip!

Miniature Golf - it's not for the faint hearted!
 
Unexpected twists and turns mark the 18 holes at MSMG.  This golfer found out a little too late that Hole #9 - Seneca Rocks - was not quite as easy as it seemed!

No, formal attire is not required, but if you dress up we just might take your picture!

Miniature Golf Trivia
 
Miniature golf began in 1916 in Pinehurst, NC, when a "postage stamp" course was designed by "an amateur architect of fiendish ingenuity" on a country estate for the private use of its owner.

Hey, Lady - That's NOT a Real Outhouse on Hole #5!

A Legend Lives On
 
Local artist Jeff Gallimore has brought to life the legendary steel-drivin' man, John Henry, featured on Hole #10.  As impressive as the artistic ability required to create the sculpture was the ingenuity it took to put the 500 pound statue in place on the hillside!

Miniature Golf Trivia
 
Jockey's Ridge Miniature Golf, in Nag's Head, on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, is the only course on record to be swallowed up by a shifting sand dune.  You can often see the turrents of the castle hole poke out of the sand where Route 158 runs near the dune.

Watch out for Hole #6 -
it's a Par 5!

Day time ... Night time ... Golf time....

History Comes Alive

Visiting dignitary Abe Lincoln turns his attention to Hole #2.  Abe narrowly missed the tricky water hazard around the left hairpin bend and was able to come away with par.  Good job, Mr. President, and thanks for statehood, too!

Miniature Golf
Makes You Smarter!
 
At least, golfing here does!  At what other course are you going to learn how to make moonshine?  Why some West Virginia trees only grow branches on one side?  What state team has, according to ESPN, the all-time greatest sports nickname?  What King Tut has in common with the town of Philippi?  Why a ball from a West Virginia University girls' game is in the Basketball Hall of Fame? 
 
Each of our 18 holes has a sign explaining the local point-of-interest behind the hole, plus strange and unusual facts about West Virginia.  So get smarter - play more miniature golf!

Over the Bridge

Sometimes it takes a unique approach to master a hole at MSMG.  This golfer prepares to cross the New River Gorge Bridge, Hole #1.  Our New River Bridge is a unique reproduction of the original and spans its own miniature river.

Miniature Golf Trivia
 
From Commonwealth Magazine, circa 1930, commenting on the popularity of miniature golf in America:
 
"The fascination [with miniature golf] is extraordinary.  It proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that the trouble with most sports has been the premium they set on endurance, proficiency, and the ability to perspire."

Miniature Golf Trivia
 
From a 1930 story in that well-know progressive paper, The Los Angeles Times:
 
"Putting seems to come naturally to most women [considering their] hereditary gift of wielding a broom day in and day out."
