LEXINGTON
CITY MAP MINIGOLF

Lexington - 18 stops - par 55

Banking a ball off the limestone and brick of Lexington requires a steady eye. The map is the real city and the round is played on its real streets, where the local attractions like Rupp Arena are the foundations for the holes. A full round of 18 holes covers 6.9 mi with a par of 55. Skip knows these sidewalks well enough to find the best angles and might even drop a few feathers along the way.

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 LEXINGTON ROUND - STOP BY STOP

HOLE 1 - PAR 3

Rupp Arena

Ellerbe Becket was the architect of Rupp Arena, an indoor arena located in downtown Lexington, Kentucky. Since its inception in 1976, the building has been the home court for the University of Kentucky men's basketball program. It is named after former Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp. I've seen plenty of crowds gather here, and for good reason given the local passion for the game. Whether you are a sports fan or just visiting the city, this massive structure is a central piece of the downtown area that you can't miss while exploring.

Mary Todd Lincoln House

You'll find this spot right here in Lexington, Kentucky. The Mary Todd Lincoln House is a museum that served as the girlhood home of Mary Todd. When you look at the exterior, you can pick out the Georgian architecture style. Inside, the house contains fourteen rooms. It is a National Register of Historic Places listed place, making it a key stop for anyone visiting the city. I've seen a few crumbs dropped on those porches over the years, though I usually prefer the higher eaves for a better view of the street.

The Gothic Revival style defines the architecture of Christ Church Cathedral. Located at 166 Market Street, this Anglican or Episcopal cathedral was founded in 1796, and its inception was in 1848. It is the seat of the Episcopal Diocese of Lexington. The church created the Old Episcopal Burying Ground, which held many who died during the cholera epidemics of 1833 and 1848. This location remains the oldest Episcopal church in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Lyric Theater

Lexington's segregated African-American community established the Lyric Theatre in 1948 to serve as a cultural hub. This nonprofit, city-owned venue is located at the corner of Third Street and Elm Tree Lane. After the theater closed in 1963, planning for a renovation began in the 1990s. The facility now functions as a multi-use arts and performance venue. In addition to the main proscenium theater, the building includes a multi-purpose room with a capacity of 325. It's a great spot to see how the city invests in its local arts scene.

Lexington Opera House

Let me show you the Lexington Opera House. Built in 1886 and designed by architect Oscar Cobb, this opera house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was constructed to replace a former theatre that fire destroyed in January 1886. Today, the Lexington Center Corporation owns and operates the building. You can pick out its rarity as one of only 14 theatres in the country built before 1900 with less than 1,000 seats that still functions as a live performance venue. I've seen plenty of fancy buildings in downtown Lexington, but this one has a special kind of staying power.

Triangle Park

Let me show you Triangle Park. Located at 400 W Main Street in Lexington, Kentucky, this is a private park built for public use. It is a spot where the city provides a dedicated place for people to gather and relax. Today, the park is used as a source of entertainment for local citizens, offering a break from the surrounding bustle of the downtown streets. I've noticed it's a great place to pause and watch the world go by while you are exploring the area, making it a welcoming stop for anyone visiting the city.
