From George's Garden to a Lincolnshire Landmark
Par-King's story began in the late 1950s in Morton Grove, Illinois, at a golf range called 4G Fairways — George's Gorgeous Golfing Garden. It didn't take long for the leading trade magazine of the era to crown it "Minigolf's Taj Mahal."
In 1977, the course moved to its current Lincolnshire home, doubling in size and setting a new imaginative standard for miniature golf. Today, our two 18-hole courses feature roughly 18–21 moving obstacles, seven water holes, and mechanical marvels you won't find anywhere else on the planet.
"Immaculately maintained, lushly landscaped, and lovingly repainted every season — it feels like stepping back in time to a golden age of Americana."
— Paraphrased from decades of guest reviews
Two 18-Hole Wonders
Choose your adventure: the Black Course or the Red Course. Both are stuffed with hand-built moving obstacles and several water holes. Every hole is its own tiny world.
Willis Tower Elevator
Ride your ball up the skyscraper — a working elevator carries it to the top.
Wooden Roller Coaster
Sink the putt and your ball takes a rickety ride down to the green.
Lucky Roulette Wheel
Place your bet — where the ball lands decides your par.
Statue of Liberty
Lady Liberty guards the golden fairway.
Super Looper Castle
Loop the loop past the iconic pink castle backdrop.
The Grinning Clown
Time your putt — this jack-o'-lantern grin spins all day long.
Humpty Dumpty Wall
Bank your ball off the brick wall before Humpty falls.
The Little Red Barn
A tricky bank-shot around one of Par-King's oldest holes.
