Bluegrass Miniature Golf OPENS at Monmouth Park April 27th 2013

BLUEGRASS MINI GOLF AT MONMOUTH PARK SET TO OPEN SATURDAY

Bradley Cullen, New York NY…” Monmouth Park Racetrack is on a roll this year and will prove to be bigger and better than ever” said Robert Hilton Executive Director of the Jersey Shore Convention and Visitors Bureau this morning during the sunrise event in Ocean Grove this morning. Many great things are on the horizon and Monmouth Park Racetrack will be the number one place to visit on the Jersey Shore this year. Hilton went on to say “People who are still unsure about the beaches will venture to events and inland attraction more this year until they can see for themselves the progress that was made over the last 180 days closer to the ocean.”

Monmouth Park Racetrack now operated by the New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association (NJTHA) announced the addition of the Bluegrass Miniature Golf and yes it’s at the park. Monmouth Park will have its 2013 season opener on Saturday, April 27 as the 36-hole course kicks off a seven-day a week schedule through mid-October.

“We enjoyed a rather soft-opening last fall when the courses were just completed,” said John Forbes, who has spear-headed the project for over a year. “There was a tremendous response last year and we’ll look to build on that this year as we enter our first full season. I’m certain Bluegrass Mini Golf will prove an across the board winner for families, racetrack-goers, shore visitors and of course, locals.”

Bluegrass Mini Golf, complete with lights, features two 18-hole horse-themed courses. Located at the north end of the Monmouth Park property, mini golf has its own entrance from Port-au-Peck Avenue.
Saturday’s first “tee-time” will be 10:00 a.m., with the courses staying open until 9:00 p.m. (last round starts 45 minutes prior to closing).

The 2013 schedule, weather permitting, will be:
Spring (April 27 – May 31): Sunday – Thursday 10 a.m. – 8 p.m.
Friday & Saturday 10 a.m. – 9 p.m.
