It is known for its distinctive cement sculptures that provide a theme to each of the 32 holes. Dating back to [[1958]], the Pensacola Goofy Golf was one of several established by [[Lee Koplin]] along the Gulf Coast.
After closing in {{date needed}}, the Goofy Golf property was occupied briefly in [[2005]] by the [[Daily Grind]], an Internet café and music venue, after their previous location was damaged by [[Hurricane Ivan]]. The Daily Grind closed in [[2006]], and management reopened as Goofy Golf on [[April 1]], [[2007]]. In addition to miniature golf, a [[Wikipedia:batting cage|batting cage]] facility is located on the rear of the property, and a snack bar and pool tables are located in the clubhouse.
