Now In Pottstown, Mini-Golf Deals and Play Streets Fun

POTTSTOWN PA – School’s out! Summer’s here! If you ever needed a reason or two (and, frankly, no one needs any justification) to play miniature golf in Pottstown, there you go.

But you should also know this: the borough Parks and Recreation Department is offering two better reasons. 1) You can save money, and 2) you can save more money.

The department is celebrating the return of seasonal weather and family fun on Sundays and Wednesdays at the borough-operated Manatawny Green Miniature Golf, 71 W. High St. On the golf course Facebook page, the Parks and Rec staff promises the summer of 2024 will be “jam packed” with enjoyment. Plenty of plans are already “in motion for the summer season,” it added.

To keep that pledge, it’s starting with two weekly golfing specials.

• On Sundays, when Manatawny Green is open from noon to 9 p.m. (weather permitting), golfers can buy two regularly priced course tickets and get a third ticket at half-price.
• On Wednesdays, when the course is open from 4-9 p.m. (weather permitting), special Wednesday-only pricing allows a family of four to play a round of miniature golf for only $24.

For more information call the course during business hours at 610-970-6607, or send an e-mail to manatawnygreen@pottstown.org.

The course officially opened this season on May 29 (Wednesday). Its summer operating hours are listed as Wednesday and Thursday from 4-9 p.m., and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from noon to 9 p.m.
