Does Mini Golf Course Quality Matter?

When you invest in a mini golf course with us, you won’t spend your money on things like windmills, clowns and animals. Instead you’ll invest in a high-quality attraction that plays much like a real golf course, with elements such as:
- real water features
- sand traps
- beautiful landscaping
- contouring
How Much Does it Cost to Build a Mini Golf Creations Course?
Depending on each client’s needs, the cost of a mini golf course can vary quite a bit. Costs will vary based on size, complexity, area, construction needs, materials, and labour. So, before we can tell you how much a Mini Golf Creations course is likely to cost, we first need to ask you a few questions, such as:
- What is your vision for your mini golf course?
- How many holes do you want?
- How big is your site?
- What condition is your site in?
- What features do you want on your course?
- What materials will it be built from (concrete vs artificial turf)?
Once we know these details, it’s much easier for us to give you an accurate estimate.
What’s the Start-Up Cost to Build a Mini Golf Course?
In general, the start-up costs for a mini golf course begin at $150-$250 thousand, with major, complex courses possibly reaching over $1 million. Because of this wide range, it’s vital to discuss your budget and ideas with a professional mini golf construction and design company like Mini Golf Creations.
What are the Costs of a Putt Putt, Crazy Golf, or Goofy Golf Course?
Although there are different types of mini golf courses, the costs for building each type will be based on the same variations we’ve already discussed. Since Putt Putt courses are often simpler than typical mini golf courses, they may have less investment in terms of construction. On the other hand, Crazy Golf and Goofy Golf are known for outlandish obstacles and ‘crazy’ themes, with all sorts of additions like life-size statues, immersive concepts like jungles, and water features. These additions, of course, add to the cost of building a new course.
What’s the Maintenance Cost for a Mini Golf Course?
Typically, a mini golf course will cost in the range of $70 thousand each year, depending on factors like size, obstacles, and wear and tear. If a course has water features, for example, maintenance costs may be higher than a course without. Complex landscaping may make the labour of maintenance more intensive, for example if you use real grass instead of artificial turf, or if the course has lots of hills, nooks and crannies!
Is a Mini Golf Course a Fantastic Investment Opportunity?

What’s the Cost of Starting a Mini Golf Business?
There are many costs that go into starting up a mini golf business outside of just the design, construction, and maintenance. While these affect the course itself, you’ll be running a business and this creates new necessary investments. These include:
- Land Cost: Whether the course is indoors or outdoors, the area it takes up will cost money in terms of renting or buying the land/space. You may also have to do some landscaping based on the land you choose.
- Legal Requirements: Depending on where you are, there may be specific permits and licences you need to secure to run your mini golf business.
- Equipment: You’ll need to purchase all the balls, putters, scoring sheets, and more so that customers can play on the course. Over time, these will need to be replaced, so this can be an ongoing cost.
- Marketing: To get the word out and bring in customers to your new course, some advertising may be necessary, which could include paying for ads, paying a PR professional, paying someone to do your website and SEO, and more.
