St. Joseph Museums is putting golf skills into play with an interactive addition to its exhibits.

Visitors will be able to explore all of the exhibits at the St. Joseph Museums with the aid of a miniature golf course. The course will be located inside the Museum galleries, with eighteen unique holes built by area businesses. Visitors to the Museum will be able to play the course from January 16 through March 1, 2016.

The museum said the original mini-golf holes are custom-designed for the course and reflect the Museum’s collection and represent the wide range of goods and services available in St. Joseph.

“We are very grateful to our sponsors. They’ve all shown great creativity in designing miniature golf holes that represented their business while incorporating aspects of the Museum’s collection. We expect to draw families, couples, and groups of friends and to introduce them to our exhibits as they play this unusual course,” said Sara Wilson, the Museum’s president and executive director.
