Cen-Tex Mini Golf is celebrating their 2nd anniversary in Georgetown, TX!
Owned and operated by Ted Hindes and Audrey Anderson, the business is Georgetownโs only miniature golf course and the only course of itโs kind in the world.
โCen-Tex Mini Golf is Georgetownโs biggest little secret,โ Audrey Anderson, co-owner of Cen-Tex Mini Golf, told Hello Georgetown. โWeโre a hidden gem. Weโre an 18-hole miniature golf course scattered under oak trees with resort lighting, weโre the only one in the world like ours, andโฆwe want people to come and just enjoy doing some outdoor activity.โ
The course opened on October 29, 2020, and since then has become a destination entertainment spot for people of all ages.
โThere is a lot of people in the Georgetown and Williamson County area, period, and there is not enough to do, and we felt like it was a business that the Georgetown area needed, definitely, and that it was something that was ageless,โ Anderson said. โYou can be five or 500.โ
Mini golf is different than the whimsical, often character influenced or themed putt-putt courses many think of when they think of miniature golf. For one, the course at Cen-Tex Mini Golf is truly a shrunk down version of a normal golf course, and has differing levels of par at each hole.
โPutt Putt is supposed to be aceable,โ Andreson said. โItโs never going to be more than a par two. So, you should be able to hit it once and either ace it or put the ball in the hole by the second stroke. Mini golf is a literally a shrunk down version of real golf. Everybody tees off or everybody putts, and then the person closest to the hole goes versus the longest from the hole, and then we can have pars anywhere from two to six. We can have obstacles and topography in our holes, where putt putt will always be flat. Itโs usually just painted concrete with a hole in the ground and the wooden pieces around it to keep the ball from going out.โ
Cen-Tex Mini Golf likes to say they have 18-holes of fun for everyone, Anderson said, and theyโve been thrilled with how the community has embraced the unique entertainment venue.
โWhat makes us happy is people like the place and not only do we have new people that always find us, but that we have tons of repeat customers,โ Anderson said. โWe have non-golf activities in our clubhouse. We have comedy shows and wine, gin & Tequlia tastings, and host all kinds of different of corporate event, like team building & lunch and learns. Thereโs everything for every budget, for every person.โ
Cen-Tex Mini Golf will be holding their ribbon cutting & business after hours with the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce on November 17th. They look forward to celebrating where theyโve been, the bright future ahead, and continuing to welcome new and returning customers alike on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for a round or two of mini golf.
โPeople are just so happy weโre here,โ Anderson said. โWe have lots of regulars. We get new people every day from the surrounding areas. So, weโre just happy to be here, and I think the Georgetown folks are happy to have us.โ
