Putters Pike Mini Golf

They “hit home”, in the most “Take Me Home Country Roads W.Va.” way. The golfing was fun, simple, sweet. It was a hot summer’s afternoon, but I had just been handed an “oasis in the desert”. Most of all, felt the most heartwarming, kindredness. Like the staff intuitively sensed I was a fiercely rooted West Virginian returning again to his beloved home land. I had more connections and affinity than golf. Wasn’t till later I told them I was down from Lanc. Co. Pa. for my 50th KHS class reunion. Touching slightly on who I might know. All of what I never get in 30 plus yrs. in Lanc. Co. The staff; so naturally engaging, that shore 'nuff caught my attention, uniquely genuine, and affecting folks. An “oasis in the desert”, for myself, that wife and daughters couldn’t understand. So it was short lived. I could have talked another half hr. at least. Detox, for the total being, was my trip. Where everything is beefed up as bigger and better, it’s simply not true. It’s a façade. “For all the rich folk, fancy houses, automobiles and dreams, If you’ve never heard the whippoorwill , you’re all the poorer it seems.” From a book I’m trying to churn out, Title Choices; THIS SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN Whippoorwill Hills Appalachian Memoirs

Best mini golf experience. Reasonable price, food available, clean bathroom. Course took about an hour +/-

Deceptively flat; actually had subtle terrain challenges that made it hard to get a hole-in-one. It would be nice to have signs about what the local attraction decorations were supposed to be. They could use more decorations as most courses were bland. Since it is new, it is still clean and well maintained. They did have concession foods available and plenty of seating.

We were in Romney for the weekend and drove out here for some mini golf. The location shows up in the wrong place on Google Maps - we made the mistake of turning on Parrill Hollow Rd and it took a while to get turned back around. We did finally find it, straight off of the main road (Northwestern Turnpike). The service was great. Golf was a little pricey ($13). Equipment was good. Course itself was nice and pleasant. Everything is in good shape. There are nice tables with umbrellas, but one of them blew over onto my friend while he was putting on sunscreen. Table whacked his legs pretty hard, but I was eventually able to pull it off of him and fortunately he was ok. The course designer did a decent job with the layout, although he/she seemed to run out of inspiration when they got to the 15th hole and beyond. There are a few holes that are impossible to ace due to the laws of Physics (the one that loops around to the right being the prime example). The grotto hole is fun, and the one with the leap of faith over water. Several of the holes had standing water in the cup, so we had to put our hand in the mystery water to get the ball out. They had speakers playing a good assortment of country music, which we enjoyed very much. There are a bunch of security cameras throughout the facility, and a monitor in the trailer that looks like the security room of a bank vault in a heist movie. So we made sure to be on our best behavior. Overall, I would highly recommend!

Putter’s Pike Mini Golf, located right along the Northwestern Turnpike, is a fantastic spot for some good old-fashioned fun. My wife and I stopped by recently and had an absolute blast. The course is well-designed, clean, and full of charming obstacles that make every hole interesting — and just competitive enough to keep things fun. Whether you’re looking for a casual date, family outing, or a place to bring friends, this is it. It’s great for all ages, and the friendly staff make you feel right at home. You can tell the owners put real care into creating a welcoming and entertaining experience. If you’re traveling through Mineral County or just looking for something different to do, make a stop at Putter’s Pike. You’ll leave with smiles, laughs, and maybe even bragging rights for the best putt of the day.
