In operation since 1924, this 18-hole course is claimed to be the oldest operating miniature golf course in the US. There is a link to an old post card on this page (http://www.agilitynut.com/minigolf/oh.html) ) which shows the course from many years ago. The inclined hole seen in the current picture next to the Allison Family sign can be seen in the vintage post card. The course is landscaped and offers a break from the traffic on the street. The course, as well as the rest of Geneva On the Lake, is open seasonally from Mothers Day till mid September.
The Sign at the course reads:
