Frequently Requested Information
How much space do you need to set up the mini golf course?
9 Holes requires 1000-1800 Square Feet to fit a small party of 20-30 people. Additional guests require a larger sized playing area so the holes can be spread out. A 9 Hole set up looks nice in an elementary school sized gym.
18 Holes requires 2000-4000 Square Feet. An 18 Hole set up fits nicely in about 3/4 of a High School Sized Gymnasium.
Can the mini golf fit in a smaller sized area?
We can set up Mini Golf “pub crawl” style by distributing holes around the building or property where they fit best. i.e. 3 Holes in the garage, 4 in the basement, and 2 in the family room where the party congregates.
Where do I set it up on my lawn?
Typically we assemble the course over the yard areas close to the driveways or street access for several reasons. First and foremost, this allows us to discreetly dismantle and pick up the course with little disruption if the event continues past the rental. There are 30 pieces necessary for us to build our 9 hole course on location which makes for many trips across your yard. Course pieces range in weight from 25 lbs to 75 lbs so we do not carry them for long distances.
What ages are appropriate for the Mini Golf?
We recommend our Mini Golf courses for kids aged 6 thru adult. Preschoolers enjoy the mini golf with the assistance of an adult, however some may still be developing the necessary skills to golf on their own.
How long does it take to play the course?
A group of 4 adults playing together on the course take about 15-20 minutes to play 9 Holes. We usually do approximately 100 players per hour at large scale events. We recommend 18 holes if:
- All guests are adults.
- If you have a very large events (200 to 1000+)
- You wish to run two 9 Holes courses simultaneously
- You REALLY love golf 🙂
What types of events do people rent the course for?
Our mini golf courses attends many different events! Birthday Parties for kids as well as Adult Parties, Family Picnics, Weddings, Company Picnics, Corporate Team Building Days, “real” Golf Tournaments as an activity for guests not golfing at the event, Community Events, Class reunions, School fun days, Grand openings, Retirement Parties, Fundraisers, Summer Camps, Bar/ Bat Mitzvahs, and more!
How long does it take for set up and break down?
The 9 Hole Mini Golf course requires a minimum of 90 minutes set up time before the party and 60 minutes for breakdown of the games. This is important information for those who rent facilities for their event and need to plan for their rental time. Our 18 Holes course needs a 2 1/2 hour set up and a 90 minute breakdown.
What Holes do you have?
On our standard 18 holes we have obstacles such as: Castle, Loop, Hills, Sand Trap, Water Hole, Bridge, Lighthouse, Long Shot, Pyramid, The Wedge, U-Turn, Plinko, Race Track, Wishing Well and more!! Click here for more photos of our “traditional” course! We also offer Halloween and Holiday themed mini golf! In 2019 we will offer Candyland and Minecraft themed courses!
How Big are the mini golf holes?
Holes measure between 8 and 30 feet in length and 2 to 4 feet in width. All necessary score cards, putters, and pencils are included with the course.
What happens if it rains the day of my event?
In the event of rain, clients choose a variety of solutions to meet their individual needs. Some of these options include renting a large tent from a rental company, moving the party to an indoor location (garage, rented hall, walkout basement, etc.), changing the start time of the party to the predicted best part of the day, proceeding in the rain, or picking a rain date. Our courses are weather proof. We continue on in most weather conditions except dangerous weather (lighting/thunder, blizzard etc.).
How is the cost of the event calculated?
Pricing is based on travel time, the type of event you are hosting and your set-up requirements. We are based out of Voluntown CT. Your quote includes our estimated fuel costs and travel time, staffing needs for your event, your rental length, and any special circumstances that make your set-up “non- standard” (flights of stairs, elevators, rough terrain etc). For more information about our standard vs non-standard set-up procedures please contact us.

Insurance ~ Paperwork
When requested, we provide you with copies of our insurance policy for your record at no additional cost. If you are renting a facility for your event you may need documentation of our insurance. If you need to be added as an ADDITIONALLY INSURED to our policy, it is an additional $50. All clients will receive a copy of our w-2 with their invoice to be used as necessary for their records / filing a 1099.
Can I pick and choose my course holes / obstacles?
For most events, we bring your golf course and assemble it as we feel best suits your event based on the AGES of your players, number of players and event space you are using. It is easiest for us to decide on-site the day-of your event. We do offer CUSTOM planning in which we meet in advance to plan out your choices and placement of your golf course. This service is typically geared for more elaborate events such as weddings. This service will increase your golf price by about 30%.
