It is known for its distinctive cement sculptures that provide a theme to each of the 36 holes. Dating back to [[1958]], the Pensacola Goofy Golf was one of several established by [[Lee Koplin]] along the Gulf Coast.
The original owners leased Goofy Golf to a local Pensacola family in 2001. They ran it has a family business until Hurricane Ivan hit in 2004. This caused extensive damage that was too costly to repair. Some of the damages included ripped batting cage nets, the ostrich on the windmill hole was blown down, the fence was folded over from the high winds. Due to the cost of the damages done to the coarse the family was forced to let the course close. After closing in {{date needed}}2004, 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]].

===Golf courses===
Goofy Golf has two 18-hole courses, both of which are considered par 42. The 18th holes of both courses are forced par 1; a hole in one wins a free game redeemable at any time; all others are returned to the clubhouse, marking the end of the round. Some of the holes were changed when the coarse was purchased as The Daily Grind. For ex. The Shrek hole was originally The Purple People Eater, Grandmother's House was originaly the School House, and The Knight had ghost figures and was called Ghost Town. The Hollywood hole did not have the Hollywood sign on it and was called "The Confusion Hole" due to its large number of holes that lead to two different outcomes.
