Golf & Games Family Park logo

Operating in Phoenix, Arizona, from October 1975 to sometime in late 1983 to early 1984, Golf & Games provided a hybrid amusement experience for the local community. The venue combined a large 36-hole miniature golf course with an indoor entertainment space just as the golden age of arcade gaming was taking shape. Visitors transitioned from outdoor recreation to an arcade floor featuring the era’s emerging coin-operated video games and pinball machines. During its nearly 10-year run, the facility functioned as a dedicated recreational hub for Phoenix families and youth seeking multi-attraction entertainment. Exact closing date is unknown, but the business was up for sale in November 1983. This was the last public mention of the venue.
