  Family Owned and Operated For Nearly 120 Years!  

Dave & Sharon Lutz, along with their three children, Steve, Malorie and Brad, are now the 4th and 5th generations to conduct business from this family location. Sharon’s great-grandfather, John Pope, acquired the farm in 1888. Her grandparents, Earl & Dolores Pope had an amusement park here named Long Island Beach. The park was often compared to a miniature Coney Island. 

 

It began operation in the early 1920’s and continued through the mid 1950’s. 

During the 1970’s, Sharon’s father, Edwin Pope, operated a golf practice range and a miniature golf course, named “The Golf Range”. This was successfully operated until the road was closed to through traffic for the replacement of the bridge over the Whitewater River in the early 1980’s.

In 1998, Ed’s daughter and son-in-law, Sharon & Dave Lutz, decided to use the location to open a new golf
range and mini-golf named Green Acres. A few years
later, the canoe & kayak rental was added. In 2007,
tube rentals were introduced.
