A typical 4000sq ft commercial brick building on an acre and a half of land featuring not one but two 18 hole miniature golf courses, a pizza restaurant and a video arcade. Theres some minor vandalism and some evidence of prior break-ins, attempted break-ins and break-in repairs. This location may be semi active and it's not abandoned.

Take 36 easy to moderately difficult holes, add cheesy statuary and lots of bright primary colors, a video arcade and a Pizza Inn = a cheap date night or a former family fun spot.

In the beginning this was a Putt Putt miniature golf course. Then it closed down. Then it became something like Putters Golf. Then, it closed down too. Then there was another owner take over or attempt too reopen it but in the end it was the Fun Station Golf and Games. Its closed now too. Even having a Pizza Inn franchise and hosting some national video game LAN tournaments couldnt keep the doors open. Home video game consoles pretty much spelled the end for token and quarter sucking video arcades like this. The worn out putters are still lined up in their racks frozen in time. The grass has grown up around the tacky animal sculptures that always seemed a little out of place. Some of the course still looks playable though. At the time I visited it appeared it was being cleaned out or remodeled inside. UPDATE: In or around 2011-2012 this place was purchased or leased by a crooked body shop in Garland Texas. I wont even speculate on what they planned to do with this location.
UPDATE JUNE 2018: GONE satellite views indicate its been demolished
