Old Pro Golf Celebrating 50th Year In Ocean City
By JOANNE SHRINER
STAFF WRITER
OCEAN CITY – This weekend, Old Pro Golf will be celebrating 50 years of family fun in Ocean City, and miniature golf course innovator Herb Schoellkopf reflected this week on how the operation has developed over the years. Schoellkopf has founded, created and built over 150 miniature golf courses since the early 1950’s and will be celebrating 50 years of family fun in Ocean City this weekend. Although it’s difficult to believe today with it largely home to amusement rides, his first course was created on the landmark Wicomico Street Pier in 1963. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Old Pro Golf built and operated 13 golf courses up and down the Eastern Seaboard in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and South Carolina, before Schoellkopf began concentrating on developing in Ocean City. Schoellkopf started in Ocean City in 1963 with two courses on the Pier, one a space theme and the other a western theme. In the 1960s and 1970s, the courses were altered to a sports and circus theme. After starting with modest roots in Ocean City, Schoellkopf rapidly built miniature golf courses, grow-

ing along with the town. In 1964, the Polynesian course was built on 23rd Street, followed by Circus golf in 1965 at the old Playland. In 1970, Outer Space and Western course opened on 65th Street followed in 1971 by the Pirates
course on 136th Street. In 1972, Safari on 136th Street was opened followed by in 1973 Polynesian on 136th Street, in 1975 Circus on 28th Street, in 1976 Castle on 28th Street, in 1991 Dinosaur on 68th Street, in 1994 Indoor UnderSea
