Rarely get to visit mini golf built before 1950, b Rarely get to visit mini golf built before 1950, but we stumbled upon Rio Nido Pee Wee Golf by chance in the Sonoma Valley and had to document this course that was built in 1948. It’s still open & run by volunteers in the community to this day. Tucked between redwoods near the Russian River, this charming lil course was one we were glad to visit and hope to actually play at some point. More photos and words by Mr. Tee over on the site for your holiday weekend enjoyment!

An absolute stunner! The Adam course at Bowling BR An absolute stunner! The Adam course at Bowling BRNO is one of the most unique mini golf experiences in the world. Luxurious, challenging, fun, massive, and visually pleasing. Hits all the marks of what makes a superb course. Fitting to review (see more on the site!) this today when pals are competing on this course. All of the courses at Bowling BRNO combine to make this one of the best facilities for adventure golf in the world but this is Mr. Tee’s favorite there. Bravo!
