After months of building and
many more of planning, Bluegrass Miniature Golf, located at Monmouth Park
Racetrack, is set to open on Saturday, Sept. 29.
“We were determined to get it
up and running before the end of the racing season,” said John Forbes,
president of the New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen, who oversaw the entire
project. “While I don’t want to call it
a soft opening, we’re certainly going to use this opportunity to thoroughly
examine the courses, iron out any kinks, and improve on what we already have
for a grand opening next Spring.”
With two 18-hole courses,
mini golf enthusiasts can choose between the “Monmouth Course” and the “Triple
Crown Course”, each complete with its own unique horse racing theme.
“We’re really excited to
bring more family entertainment to the racetrack and the Jersey Shore,” Forbes
said. “Both courses are completely ADA compliable and are
lighted for nighttime action. Three
fountains carry water obstacles throughout the playing area, along with some
other twists and turns that should prove very popular.”
Located at the north end of
the Monmouth Park property, Bluegrass Miniature Golf will be open seven days a
week, weather permitting, from Sept. 29 through Oct. 31. Monday through Friday the courses will be
open from noon to 8 p.m., while on Saturday and Sunday the hours are 10 a.m. to
10 p.m. The cost is $8 per round of 18
holes or $12 for 36. Children six
through 12 play for half-price while under six are free. A special entrance off Port au Peck Avenue will
lead players to mini golf parking at no charge.
Monmouth Park’s live racing
season runs through Sunday, Oct. 7.
