Retro Putt has opened at Cove Plaza in Green Cove Springs, bringing two climate-controlled mini-golf courses and interactive scoring to 1417-1 S. Orange Ave. The Burlesons’ venue held its formal grand-opening weekend in early September, according to Clay Today.
The experience pairs familiar putting with challenges built around other activities. Players can try a basketball free-throw lane on the Blue course or a gravity-powered zip line on the Pink course; other features include a Hot Wheels loop and obstacles nodding to video games and skateboarding. Clay Today reports that the Blue course is wheelchair accessible. The venue’s TallyHo Golf page lists digital scoring, which lets players use a QR code rather than download an app.
A local opening in a steady national pastime
The National Golf Foundation says mini-golf participation in the United States has hovered around 18 million people annually in recent years. That is a national participation estimate, not evidence of local demand or a measure of how Retro Putt is performing. Green Cove Springs had an estimated 10,275 residents on April 1, 2025, 489 more than its 2020 Census count, according to the Florida Legislature’s Office of Economic and Demographic Research; the citywide figure likewise does not establish the venue’s customer base. The National Golf Foundation’s participation discussion provides broader context, not a forecast for this business.
Accessibility is another point to distinguish carefully: the Blue course’s wheelchair-accessible description is reported by Clay Today, while the U.S. Department of Justice’s analysis of the 2010 ADA Standards identifies miniature-golf courses among facility types addressed by supplemental requirements. That general regulatory context does not verify Retro Putt’s compliance or independently confirm its specific features.
What guests can expect
Clay Today reports that the venue also has a pool table, games, a snack bar and party rooms, and holds league play on Tuesdays. One course costs $12; both cost $18. The reported schedule is 10 a.m. daily, closing at 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. These opening details and operating terms are attributed to the local report, rather than independently verified here.
