Who Can Play Mini Golf?
This is one of the most incredible perks of constructing a mini golf course: Absolutely anyone can play! That’s right: From grandma and grandpa to the littlest ones in the family, everyone can have a good time playing mini golf, and it can even make for a fun family bonding activity. Because mini golf courses are designed to be ADA compliant, individuals who use mobility devices can also join in safely.
Will Permits and Licenses Be Required?
This will depend on the regulations and requirements of your local governing body. Sometimes, it can even be the case that you are the first to build a mini golf course in your area, and a special use permit may be required in this case. Because mini golf courses are not built as often as commercial buildings, it helps to know exactly what’s required before getting started. You may need to obtain project approval before receiving a building permit.
How Much Maintenance Is Required for Mini Golf Courses?
On a day-to-day basis, the level of maintenance required is very low. All you need to do is ensure that the grounds are kept clean and pick up any debris. You may also need to water any plants and shrubs on your course if you have chosen to incorporate these features. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning out ponds and ensuring that lighting and sound systems are working optimally, should be carried out every few months as needed. The frequency largely depends on whether your business is a seasonal or all-year-round operation.
Does My Mini Golf Course Need to Be Themed?
You may have seen lots of themed mini golf courses around and may be wondering whether you need to do something similar. The answer is that it’s all up to you, and there’s no need to incorporate an elaborate theme unless you want to. Some reasons you may choose to theme a mini golf course could be to increase appeal to tourists if you are located in an area that sees frequent holidaymakers. You may choose to incorporate water features, landscaping and music to create the perfect ambiance without getting into the more dramatic theming.
How Much Profit Can I Expect to Make with a Mini Golf Course Business?
The answer to this will depend on a few factors, such as where you are located and the competition in your area. However, you will be pleased to know that miniature golf courses are a business venture that start to turn around a profit fairly quickly.
