Mythic Mini-golf shared with The N&O that while the spot opened on July 22, the grand opening is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, Aug, 6 from 4-6 p.m.
The golf courses are based on the fictional friendship of Arry, a winged unicorn, and Gia, a magic orb that fits inside Arry’s chest. The friends travel through forests, mines and castles to reunite and recover the three lost crests. Guests can play through Brightwood, the elven forest; Steamforge, the goblin mines; and Valorhold, the mythic castle.
Location and hours: Mythic Mini-golf’s address is 4500 Western Blvd. and its hours are 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 10 a.m.-11 p.m. Friday-Saturday and noon-9 p.m. Sunday.
