“The oldest miniature golf course in the United States” is a surprisingly contentious title. There are several courses that claim to be the very first of their kind. Whispering Pines Mini Golf is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Opened in 1930, its layout has not changed over the years. It truly set the stage for later mini golf courses to come, and has windmills, pipes, and other obstacles that would become mainstays of the putt putt world.
