Shipwreck Golf is just around the corner from the Goofy Golf. This course is part of
Shipwreck Island Water Park. The sea monster's neck was shortened considerably between 2005 (first three photos above) and 2009 (fourth photo). The shark once held the remains of a boat in its mouth.

The Polynesian Putter was built in 1967. It must have originally been a Goofy Golf course. The Easter Island head and snake are the only remaining Koplin figures. There are a few contemporary additions like this tiger.

Gulf Golf [gone] Treasure Island, FL |

Gulf Golf had some classic holes though I don't know how old they really were. They might have been replacements of original obstacles or just very well maintained. This course had a fiberglass "Pioneer Guy" like the ones shown at this page. He was in great shape in 2005 despite having been blown over during a recent hurricane. Hopefully, someone removed this statue before this place was demolished for condo development. The seated guys, like this one, drove covered wagons at Wagon-Ho! restaurants, a short-lived fast food chain. For more, see this website.
