Investor’s Kit
Phase 1: Consultation and Feasibility
The mini golf construction timeline begins with dedicated account representatives who discuss project scope, site selection, feasibility and budget. With experience building over 900 miniature golf courses, our team guides you through initial feasibility analysis, helping you understand what your site can support and what your investment will deliver.
This phase sets realistic expectations and identifies potential challenges before you commit resources. We evaluate traffic patterns, zoning requirements and demographic fit to ensure your project has the foundation for long-term success.
Phase 2: No-Obligation Design
Once you select a site and obtain a topographic survey, your account representative connects you with our experienced in-house landscape architects. You work directly with our design department to create your custom miniature golf course design, ensuring the final plan reflects your vision while incorporating six decades of construction expertise.
This collaborative approach means designs are buildable, maintainable and optimized for guest flow, avoiding the "Architect's Trap" where beautiful renderings become construction nightmares. This design phase comes at no cost, demonstrating our confidence in delivering courses you will want to build.
Phase 3: Preconstruction Project Management
As you prepare to begin your miniature golf construction, dedicated construction managers walk you through each step. They coordinate kickoff meetings and preconstruction conferences with all stakeholders, ensuring everyone understands commitments, timelines and deliverables before breaking ground.
This phase includes permit coordination, contractor scheduling and material procurement. Our project managers handle logistics that overwhelm business owners unfamiliar with mini golf construction steps, protecting your timeline and preventing costly delays. Harris Miniature Golf Courses provides detailed schedules identifying critical path activities, allowing you to coordinate staff hiring, marketing campaigns and soft opening events with confidence.
Phase 4: Construction Project Management
During active construction, you benefit from master craftsmen with decades of mini golf construction experience. These professionals understand nuances that less experienced contractors miss, such as proper surface tension, access requirements and feature durability standards that separate courses lasting decades from those requiring constant repairs.
Your assigned project manager meets with you regularly, providing progress updates, photos and addressing concerns immediately. Our 110% satisfaction guarantee means we do not consider the job complete until you are fully satisfied with every detail.
Phase 5: Post-Construction Support
Harris Miniature Golf Courses remains your partner after the ribbon-cutting. Our staff answers calls promptly and takes pride in seeing customers succeed. We encourage you to leverage our industry knowledge as you launch operations, troubleshoot challenges and optimize profitability.
This ongoing support differentiates us from miniature golf builders who disappear after final payment. We provide guidance on maintenance schedules, operational best practices and revenue optimization strategies from hundreds of course builds worldwide.

Why Integrated Process Management Matters
Harris integrates all phases under one roof with teams that have worked together for decades, ensuring seamless communication from initial concept through post-construction support.
This continuity means your designer understands construction realities, your construction foreman knows design intent, and your post-construction support team recognizes site-specific considerations. When challenges arise, integrated teams solve problems quickly without finger-pointing between separate vendors. This seamless design-to-construction integration protects your investment and timeline.
