A token from the Boondocks
One of the minigolf tokens in my collection came from a visit to play the two miniature golf courses at Boondocks Fun Center in the town of Northglenn, Colorado, USA.
It was one of the arcade machine tokens in use at the fun center when I visited in March 2009.

Putt-Putt tokens from the USA
A look at some 1980's Putt-Putt tokens from the USA.
From the Crazy Golf Museum's collection.
The very first Putt-Putt Golf course was created by Don Clayton in Fayetteville, North Carolina, USA back in 1954.
In the 1960's Putt-Putt franchises began opening outside of the US, in locations such as South Africa, Australia and Japan. There were also courses in the UK, the first of which opened in Sunderland in 1968. Others followed at Flamingo Land in Yorkshire and in Buxton, Derbyshire. However, information on these UK courses is limited.
Do you know of any courses that still have tokens?
