Surely a few of you are excited about the possibility of a new miniature golf course on North 48th and Holdrege. Tom Madsen, of Madsen's Bowling & Billiards fame, would like to replace the underutilized Ecco Park, and it sounds like the City and neighbors are on board. Madsen would probably lease the land from the City so that it could always go back into public hands if things go awry.
And yes, comparisons with Cool Crest are inevitable. That's unfortunate because there's no way Madsen can create an experience that lives up to two-decade-old memories of one of Lincoln's favorite hangouts. At least getting people in the gate won't be a challenge. Parking, on the other hand, may be.
Lincoln could use a new miniature golf course. Adventure Golf (56th and Old Cheney) is good, but its location doesn't lend itself to city-wide popularity. The golf at Champions is pretty mediocre, or at least it was the one time I golfed there. That leaves a reasonable opening for Madsen. I just hope he's able to retain many of the trees currently on the property. One of Adventure Golf's problems when it first opened was its barrenness.
Drat. Now I want to go mini golfing. Temps are forecast to be in the 50's today ... I wonder if Adventure Golf is open?
