Mini Golf Design & Build

Mini Golf Design & Build

Mini golf is a proven attraction. We make it something people want to photograph, remember and play again. We design and build imaginative courses that bring character to a venue. From the themes and visual details to the game itself, we create golf that adds to the atmosphere, complements the wider experience and gives people another reason to come back.

A better course. A richer experience.

A great mini golf course gives people plenty to talk about before, during and after a game.

The holes are fun to play. The environments invite photographs. The design adds character to the whole venue.

We consider how people move through the course, how groups interact and where the golf fits alongside the bar, food and other attractions. Good design makes all of those things work together.

Plan the investment before the course.

9-hole course design — from £40,000.

18-hole course design — typically £68,000.

These are indicative design investments for commercial projects, developed through to construction-ready drawings. The final fee depends on the site, brief, complexity and scope.

Construction is quoted separately. Site preparation, materials, lighting, theming, interactive elements and moving parts all affect the total build cost. We will discuss the likely overall investment before developing a detailed proposal.

We also help with naming, branding, websites and launch marketing where your project needs them. You can commission course design on its own.

04

Build & delivery

Detailed designs, technical development and coordination with specialist fabricators and contractors through to installation.

Mini golf at Levels Prague

13,000 rounds in three months.

Levels Prague needed an 18-hole course that could hold its own inside a large multi-activity entertainment venue rather than feel like an add-on.

We created a visually distinctive course around the venue experience, balancing spectacle with playability and throughput. The course recorded 13,000 rounds in its first three months.

See the Levels Prague project
  • Mighty Adventures: a family mini golf concept expanded to three venues in two years.
  • Pop Playrooms: competitive socialising shaped around music, play and a highly distinctive visual world.
  • Putt Crazy: mini golf brand, venue design and digital work for a leisure concept built around repeatable fun.

Planning a mini golf project?

  • You're developing a new mini golf venue or adding a course to an existing business.
  • Your mini golf needs to work alongside food, drink and other attractions.
  • An existing course needs a fresh concept, better design or a stronger identity.
  • You're considering a second venue or a wider rollout.

Useful answers before we talk.

Do you design and build mini golf courses?

Yes. We can take a project from commercial concept and course design through brand, theming, customer journey and build coordination. The delivery model is agreed around the site, programme and procurement route.

Do you work on indoor and outdoor mini golf?

Yes. We design indoor, outdoor and mixed-format courses. The site conditions, audience and operating model determine the materials, technical approach and level of theming.

Do you work on mini golf projects outside the UK?

Yes. We work with UK and international operators, developers and design teams. Our 18-hole course at Levels Prague brings together course design, theming and build delivery inside a major entertainment venue.

Can you work with an architect or existing contractor?

Yes. We can lead the mini golf creative and experience work inside a wider design team, or bring trusted specialists into the project where needed.

Can you help before we have a final site?

Yes. Early feasibility work can help establish likely footprint, hole count, customer flow, experience direction and the role mini golf should play in the wider business.

Do you only create heavily themed courses?

No. Theme is one tool. Some venues need a full world and story; others need a more architectural, brand-led or premium design approach. We design around the audience and proposition.

Can you design a course for more than one venue?

Yes. We can create a repeatable course and brand system with enough fixed principles to stay recognisable and enough flexibility to adapt to different sites.
