The History of Putt-Putt Golf
Windmills, neon castles, and tiny bridges — miniature golf is more than a roadside attraction. From 19th-century garden games to glow-in-the-dark urban courses, the story of mini-golf is one of creativity, competition, and cultural evolution.
In this episode of Info On The Go, William and Kat trace the quirky, colorful journey of miniature golf — and how one North Carolina inventor turned it into a professional sport known worldwide as Putt-Putt.
Listeners will discover how the game began in 19th-century Scotland as a genteel pastime for women, how it swept across America during the 1920s rooftop craze, and how the Great Depression forced players to get creative with backyard “tin-can” courses. Then came the 1950s, when Don Clayton founded the official Putt-Putt Golf Courses of America, transforming mini-golf into a standardized, skill-based competition — complete with professional tournaments and televised championships.
From whimsical themed courses of the 1960s to today’s immersive, tech-driven mini-golf experiences, this episode explores how a simple putting game became a cultural icon and an enduring symbol of fun for all ages.
