History

Established in 2004.

An idea was formed in the head of a construction foreman in early 2003: Why not make a miniature golf course for him and his family to manage? And so he and a few helpful friends broke ground and built the course with his there own bare hands.

A family owned and operated business since it’s grand opening in 2004, the Hot Dog Hut and Putt has been a place to relax and have fun in an area sadly devoid of entertainment. It is a place for Ripley and the surrounding area residents to let loose and have some fun. The course is now managed by the youngest of three sons on the weekdays and the full family on most weekends
