It’s “miniature” in size but gigantic in purpose: a miniature golf fundraiser (with prizes) at the on the grounds of the ٺƵ Medical Center in Sacramento.
The all-ages event, called , is scheduled from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, June 22 and 23.
Kiwanis, an international service organization, maintains the house for families with loved ones in the hospital — either the medical center or the Shriners Hospital next door.
Dan Germain, director of the Kiwanis house, said Kiwanis clubs from around the region are building nine “creative” holes for a weekend of golfing fun. Play each hole twice for a regular, 18-hole round — then visit the 19th hole where hamburgers, hot dogs and root beer floats will be for sale.
Golf fees (for 18 holes) are $5 for adults and $3 for ages 12 and under. Prizes will include a mountain bike, basketball hoop and a family fun pack for Scandia Fun Center.
The Course of Dreams will be laid out mostly on the grass on the north side of the house, , just north of Broadway.
