The 18th at Golgotha.  Cave City, Kentucky. Just down the mountain from Mammoth Cave is the Golgotha Fun Park. While the park offers paintball wars and go-cart racing, the main attraction is the miniature golf course. Touted as the “#1 Shaded Biblical Mini Golf” course, the front nine presents a number of Old Testament obstacles (e.g. Noah’s Ark, Daniel’s den of lion’s, and, of course, Jonah’s whale).  The back nine is strictly New Testament. On seventeen, Jesus is crucified, dies, and is buried. By the time you turn around to aim down eighteen, he’s risen and stands on top of his tomb, which doubles as the hole. Note the golf ball in the opening to the tomb.
