The Rio Grande Valley has always been a paradise—where colorful birds sweep through warm skies, palm trees sway over glowing citrus groves, and the horizon glows with the promise of leisure. Long ago, mini golf flourished here. Windmills spun, neon signs flickered, and families laughed their way through any given series of eighteen bright, quirky holes.

But as summers grew hotter and staying inside became the norm, outdoor pastimes slowly faded. One by one, the mini golf courses closed. The laughter dimmed. And soon, the Valley’s golden age of putting existed only in memory.

It was from that absence—and that longing—that Mac and Dottie emerged, first appearing on the farmland at McAllen’s city limits. What brought them here was something neither could explain.

Mac carried a calm, champion’s focus, the determination to restore the glory days of the game. A talented putter with an eye for precision, he seemed to know instinctively how to line up every shot. His name, many believe, comes from the shortening of McAllen itself, forever tying him to the Valley he now calls home.

Dottie, meanwhile, radiated carefree charm. Her swing was loose and joyful, and the good vibes seemed to follow her like a soundtrack. She gets her name from the playful dimples that dot her face, a reminder that fun and laughter are at the heart of mini golf. Dottie made sure every round was filled with whimsy and delight.

No one knows exactly where they came from. Some claim they were born from pure nostalgia. Others whisper they were created by extraterrestrial fans of mini golf who visited the Valley long ago. Mac and Dottie don’t remember any of that. All they know is one simple truth, a truth that guides everything they do:

“Mini golf belongs in the Rio Grande Valley—We’re making a place where enjoyment, competition, and community meet.”

Together, Mac and Dottie are hard at work designing Valley Mini Golf. Mac uses his expertise to shape the layout of the course, ensuring each hole offers both challenge and charm. Dottie, ever the gracious host, focuses on the atmosphere—making sure the amenities are fun, relaxing, and welcoming to all. Their combined vision is creating not just a place to play, but a destination where the Valley’s spirit of leisure can thrive once more.

Valley Mini Golf isn’t just a course—it’s a revival, a celebration, and a mystery wrapped in a palm frond. And Mac and Dottie are your guides, your hosts, and your biggest fans as the Valley’s beloved pastime comes to life under their care.
