There is still a Strange Michigan Law on the books that relates to golf. There are over 650 golf courses in The State of Michigan, this sport is one of the great things to do for tourists in Michigan This sport is one of the great things that bring tourists to Michigan. 

The  Strange Michigan Law

There's a Michigan law,  Detroit: Sec. 5-2-6. Putt-putt golf courses must close by 1:00 AM. Hours for golf driving ranges, putting greens, and miniature golf courses. No miniature golf course, practice or driving courses, or putting greens shall be operated between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. The law is outdated and never to my knowledge ever enforced.  The question is what happened?

Putt Putt Courses In Michigan

Founded in 1954 in Fayetteville, Putt-Putt, Is the world’s first and only copyrighted corporate miniature golf game. Courses were built to exact standards for a game enjoyed by children and adults. With the use of high-quality outdoor carpet, aluminum bump boards, and unique obstacles for a consistent roll and bounce.

Although all the Michigan Putt Putt courses are no longer around. There are still many locations down South. Defiance, Ohio is the closest Putt Putt around. Find more around the United States by clicking this link.

Michigan Law Sec. 5-2-6. Putt-putt golf courses must close at 1:00 AM and must be repealed. Need to write your Michigan State Representatives and work on this before next Spring. Crazy as it sounds, we cannot go on in life with such injustice to one of the greatest parts of the game of golf. To putt or not to putt, that is a mulligan!
