Tee Time Golf
Ocean City, NJ |

I believe Tee Time Golf opened in the 1960s. The statues which appear to be original are in great shape. Unfortunately, I was there during the off-season when I could only shoot through the chain link fencing. These painted signs are located nearby. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3. [map]

Wacky Rooftop Golf
Seaside Heights, NJ |
 |
 |
|
The Wacky Rooftop Golf course is on a rooftop above the Boardwalk. The bear, rabbit and Humpty Dumpty were produced by Ben Robinson of the Plycrete Mold Co. which marketed many of its statues to mini golf courses in the 1960s and 1970s. Some of the other statues here may have been produced by that company. [map]

Barnacle Bill's Amusements opened in 1963. The Paul Bunyan statue was produced by International Fiberglass. It is taken down at the end of the season and put in storage. In addition to the mini golf, there is also a snack bar and games arcade. These photos are from 2007. Although Barnacle Bill's was devastated by Hurricane Sandy in 2012, the whale and Paul Bunyan statue survived. The course was completely rebuilt. The whale was replaced with a new one in 2013.
