Oh no, not another miniature golf course mystery!
I meant to post the following three slides when we were discussing miniature golf last week.
The first pic is the best because there are obvious clues (to the location) on the building next door. (especially
Franklin Flower Shop)

Clearly Gittleson Brothers' on Hollywood Boulevard! Thanks for posting — many happy memories here,
and an apparent paucity of pictures or info about this wonderful, tree-shaded course...'
You can check out the disparate comments here: (there are 29 of them!!)

That said, the only address I have in Hollywood for Gittelson is their office in Room 216 at 6513 Hollywood Boulevard (several blocks south of Franklin)

So, what do you sleuths think? Was this putt-putt course in Hollywood? (it looks like it to me).....but is it a Gittelson Bros. course on Hollywood Blvd.?
