CITY MAP MINIGOLF

Greensboro - 18 stops - par 55

Greensboro looks different from a telephone wire, but the ball sees the grit of the actual streets. This map is the real city, where the round is played on the pavement and the local attractions, like Blandwood Mansion, are the physical shapes the holes are built from. It is a full 18-hole round with a par of 55, covering a 7 mi walk. Skip knows every crack in the sidewalk here and is the local guide.

HOW IT WORKS

01

Pick a city

The course is drawn on the real street grid, so the map you play is the map you walk.

02

Putt to the pin

Drag to aim, release to swing. Buildings bounce and water costs you a stroke.

03

Sightsee between strokes

Every hole ends at an attraction. Sink the putt, read the story, walk to the next tee.

THE GREENSBORO ROUND - STOP BY STOP

HOLE 1 - PAR 3

Blandwood Mansion

You will find Blandwood Mansion at 447 West Washington Street in Greensboro. This home was originally built in 1795 as a four-room Federal style farmhouse and was later designed by architect Alexander Jackson Davis. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1988. I have always appreciated how preservation-minded Greensboro citizens stepped up to save the house from demolition in 1964. Today, it is a museum where you can see the results of that community effort for yourself. It is a wonderful spot to pause and look at the architecture before you move on to the next hole.

HOLE 11 - PAR 3

Carolina Theatre

The Carolina Theatre is a performing arts center that opened on Halloween night, 1927. As Greensboro, North Carolina's only remaining historic theatre, it holds a special place in the city. The building was constructed for the Saenger-Publix Company at a cost of over $500,000. If you look inside, you can pick out the massive scale of the venue, which features 2,200 seats. I've seen a few crumbs dropped in those seats over the years, but the architecture is what really catches the eye.
