By Lightning Reports, Published: October 5, 2023

Hendersonville City Council members are inviting the public to join them for the grand opening celebration of the new Laura E. Corn Mini-Golf Course at Edwards Park at 4 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 19.

The park is located at 904 N. Main St. at Five Points next to Hedrick-Rhodes VFW Post 5206.

Named in honor of Laura E. Corn, a beloved longtime member of the mini-golf staff and a cherished community figure, the 18-hole mini-golf course promises fun and excitement for all ages. The ADA-accessible course is designed for everyone to enjoy. It features challenging holes and themed elements showcasing the rich history and attractions of Hendersonville, Henderson County and neighboring communities.

The grand opening event will celebrate community members who have collaborated to create an experience that is unique to Hendersonville. Local artists, craftspeople and partnering organizations will be in attendance to celebrate their work and tee off for the first of many mini-golf seasons at Edwards Park.

The ceremony will mark the start of regular operations, with mini-golf available to the public from Oct. 20 to Nov. 19 on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Hours are 3:30-9 p.m. with the last tee time at 9.

Admission prices are as follows:

  • Adults (18 and older): $3 per round
  • Youth (3 - 17): $2 per round
  • Toddlers (2 & under): Free with a paying adult


In addition to the mini-golf course, Edwards Park boasts several other amenities for the community's enjoyment, including a playground as well as a concession stand offering putters, balls, snacks and drinks during mini-golf operating hours. Cyclists will also appreciate the bike corral, complete with bike racks, a repair station and a bike pump, made possible through a donation from the Blue Ridge Bicycle Club. Those exploring the park will also discover interactive musical features, made possible through generous sponsorship of the Shipman family, whose patriarch has a rich history with mini-golf in Hendersonville.

The City of Hendersonville looks forward to sharing the reimagination of the Laura E. Corn Mini Golf Course and the reopening of Edwards Park with the community. For more information on Edwards Park, visit www.hvlnc.gov/edwardspark.
