About the

Fairyland Club › The club also was part of Carter’s vision for a resort. When it opened in 1926, it was known as The Fairyland Inn.

› The club’s landscape, featuring large and unusual rock formations reminiscent of fairy and elf grottos of mythical times, inspired the name “Fairyland.” Among the more prominent are the tall rock sentinels, the “Twin Sisters,” that guard the main entrance to the club.

› The Fairyland Inn was the site of the original Tom Thumb golf course, which today is known as miniature golf.
