Until recently, the only art on a golf course may have been the ‘art of the swing.’ Now the Workhouse Arts Center offers the experience of an art history-themed golf course; perhaps  the nation’s only Masterpiece Mini-Golf.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 13 launched the 18-hole course with what the Workhouse describes as “18 unique hand-crafted holes designed by artists and builders from the Workhouse community.” 

Whether your preference is for French Impressionism, Italian Renaissance, Guerrilla, or Pop Art, or just the mini-golf game, the course will be open through the summer and fall to entertain you.

The Workhouse Arts Center, located at 9518 Workhouse Way, Lorton, does not offer advance tee times. The mini-golf experience is $15 per person. While there is no club house at this course, Bunnyman Brewery is steps away for after-game refreshment.

Braddock District Supervisor James Walkinshaw is confident he can win, here against Arts Center board member Sharon Bulova, who admitted to never before having played mini-golf
