How To Take Advantage Of The Miniature Blacklight Glow Golf Course Craze

By Barbara Hayes


If you're the owner of an amusement center, you are most likely curious about any new opportunity that promises to increase your customer base. The more dramatic the new attraction, the more attention it will receive. A hot new trend that has a lot of people excited are mini blacklight glow golf courses. Kids of every age seem to love them. They're family friendly, and after the initial investment, not expensive to operate.

If you do not have the funds available to purchase all the equipment and marketing materials, along with the cost of setting the operation up, you will have to convince a financial institution to lend you the money. This involves sitting down and creating a comprehensive business plan. You can get good information from the manufacturers. They can help with management issues, financial projections, marketing strategies and staffing needs.

If an addition to your existing facility is necessary, you are going to have to determine the kind of course to be installed and what other amenities you want to offer the public. For a nine hole course you are going to need at least eighteen hundred square feet with a thousand more recommended. A full eighteen hole course requires a minimum of thirty-six hundred square feet. The optimal square footage is fifty-four hundred.

Those who have made a success of these courses suggest adding enough space to include party rooms, arcades and a food service area. For those who want to make the course their primary business, the experts say that malls and tourist areas have been successful, in addition to the stand alone businesses that do very well. The actual facility is less important than the location. You have to be where the customers are.

Once you have the financing out of the way, you can start to work with the designers to create a course that meets your specifications and exact needs. You will receive layouts for the course, computer designed drawings, and the electrical specifications. You can choose a theme from a group that has proven to be the most popular. These include jungles, pirates, outer space, and the ocean.

You can make suggestions to the design team to modify an existing theme or have them build a new one just for you. Any theme you choose will include intricately cast fluorescent lights displaying the obstacles and props throughout the course. The shadows and eerie glow makes the game a fun challenge.

It takes a couple of weeks to get the course up and running. During that time, a crew will come in and install customized curbing to define the greens. They will set up the obstacles, props, walls, and arches using the design specifications that have already been determined. Finally they will lay carpet and install the blacklights.

The entrance will be dramatic. This is the first thing customers see. It is the gateway and the real start of the course. An employee, completely dressed in character, will hand customers their glow-in-the-dark scorecards. Walking the multi-colored, glowing carpet will build excitement as the fun starts.
