PROVIDENCE -- Live bands, 50-cent drinks, free insect repellent and a clipboard to keep track of scores: the Willows Miniature Golf Park in Providence breathes new life to the valley. Opened in the summer of 2002, the golf park is still waiting to be found by college students, said Julie Foust. It makes for a cheap date night, and creates a rift from the usual movie theater, she said. "I am surprised more college students don't come," Foust said. The golf park is fun for all levels of golfers, and it's different than your typical miniature golf course, said Foust. It doesn't have a windmill and there are citronella candles to keep the bugs away. Live bands play Friday and Saturday nights. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for senior citizens, and $3 for children. Until the end of September, students with ID cards get one game free for every paid game. The course is open Monday through Saturday. Families also enjoy the golf course. It is a good environment, and parents aren't afraid to leave their kids, said Foust. It's appealing and something we have needed, she said. Jon Stucky of Nibley said, "I like the variety. And it is something to do with the whole family." Group reservations are available and discounts are given to parties over 10. Special arrangements can be made with the owner. There is a place for group barbeques and tables for eating. "It is nice to have something fun at this end of the valley," said Sue Stucky of Nibley. Owned by Susan and Steve Roberts, the golf course was intended to enhance Providence as well as Logan, said Foust. The golf course will be open until the end of October or as long as the weather holds out.
