Old Pro Golf Celebrating 50th Year In Ocean City

OCEAN CITY – This weekend Old Pro Golf will be celebrating 50 years of family fun in Ocean City, and miniature golf course innovator Herb Schoellkopf reflected this week on how the operation has developed over the years.

Schoellkopf has founded, created and built over 150 miniature golf courses since the early 1950’s and will be celebrating 50 years of family fun in Ocean City this weekend. Although it’s difficult to believe today with it largely home to amusement rides, his first course was created on the landmark Wicomico Street Pier in 1963.

Throughout the 1960’s and 1970’s, Old Pro Golf built and operated 13 golf courses up and down the Eastern Seaboard in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Sour Carolina, before Schoellkopf began concentrating on developing in Ocean City.

    I love a success story and though I have no hand eye coordination at all I do like playing at his courses.
    Congratulations and thanks for sharing good news

    One of the last nice businesses left in Ocean City.

    Herb is one of the great older people left who built the real Ocean City Value for the Family. Now that they rape the visitor with fees, fines, and regulations, my memories of this "family destination" include many fun times at his courses. He is a great man who raised great kids, and he does deserve to be noted as a "founder" of this once great small town!
