Harris helped us make decisions and steered us in the right direction.

It was incredible working with the team at Harris. I never saw a group of guys work so hard in my life. No matter what issues they encountered on site, they just made it all happen.

Adding miniature golf to our 50-year-old family business, which includes a dairy farm and ice cream shop, was the best decision we could have made. The golf course is consistently busy and we have seen an increase of more than 40 percent in our ice cream sales.

The adventure golf has been a great success and has far exceeded our expectations on the amount of people playing even through the winter periods. We have just had a two week Easter break and the adventure golf was extremely busy Roll on the summer.

Working with Harris was fantastic from day one! When you are going into a new business, it’s important to have trust. Harris helped us make decisions and steered us in the right direction. They treated us like family and still do.

I wanted a miniature golf course that adults and teenagers could enjoy – not just little kids. I wanted something spectacular, different. Harris built us a beautiful course that’s fair, but challenging – the perfect mix. The kids like it and so do the adults. Rich and the team at Harris are outstanding! Anything you want, they'll do it.

The great thing about Harris Mini Golf is the years of experience they bring to course design. This experience resulted in a course that has seen many return visits and smiles on faces! From first design to the crew working on site I can honestly say that working with Harris Mini Golf has been one of the best decisions I have ever made and with close on 40,000 visitors during this first year there’s the proof of the success that well designed course can bring to your attraction.

It was fun to watch the guys work and bring the course to life. The crew was always looking to improve the design whenever possible. They really wanted it to be as good as it could be!

It’s unbelievable the job Harris did on our small 90-by-100-foot piece of property. They built two large stone waterfalls, two streams and a pond with a small waterfall. The course plays beautifully. I never thought they could do such a wonderful job on such a small piece of property.

I have had 11,000 customers pass through my doors in the past 35 days and every single person takes not just a minute, but sometimes five, 10 or 20 minutes, to tell me how much they love the course. If they are down for a weeks’ vacation, they come back three or four times because the kids love it so much. Everyone says it’s the nicest course they have ever played.

The people at Harris were efficient, effective and flexible. I was on site every day during construction and the guys were always asking me for my input. They would take what I suggested and make it happen. They were on time and on budget, which was an absolute delight! Best of all, I’ve made a ton of money in the miniature golf business.

The folks at Harris miniature golf were great to work with. Jim and team did a great job laying out the course and staying on schedule. The feedback from customers has been nothing but positive. Thank you Harris for a beautiful course, definitely a place we’re customers can make memories!

We rebuilt our course from the ground up in 2023 and we could not have asked for a better partner than Harris Mini Golf. From the moment we started the design process they focused on making the process as stress free as possible.

Harris Mini Golf was our best choice to create and build our mini golf course. We felt comfortable with Harris and our rep, Pat from the very first email and phone call. Harris provided us with useful materials which made the dream that more tangible. Everyone we worked with in the planning stage was knowledgeable and prompt in answering all of our questions.

In researching the Mini Golf Contractors throughout the country, for the Highest Quality at the Fairest Price, a decision was made to award this project to Harris Miniature Golf Course Inc. The Harris team from day one was professional, friendly, and willing to make this challenging course become a reality.

Harris went above and beyond to make our course everything we asked for. Sal and family helped us every step of the way, from land development, meetings, multiple redesigns, and adjustments. The construction crew that Harris used was also extremely friendly, knowledgeable and accountable.
