MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) – Putt-Putt Golf & Games on Summer Avenue was subjected to record flooding Saturday night. The family park is slowly re-opening while crews clean up the mess.
The floodwaters reached several feet above expected levels at Putt Putt Golf, which has been in Memphis by Fletcher Creek, which connects to the nearby Wolf River, since 1958.

“By the time we got everything locked up, we were fortunate, I felt like,” says general manager Chris Beagle. “Another 20 minutes, we might not have gotten out in my wife’s lifted pickup truck.”
By Tuesday, the flooding had receded to only the driving range in the back of the building.
But the parking lot, mini golf course, and go-kart tracks are covered in mud and silt.

Beagle says he hopes to clean and reopen one of the three 18-hole courses by Tuesday evening, and reopen the rest of the park activities by the weekend.
The main building is unharmed.
