Adding A Blacklight Glow Golf Course To Your Amusement Facility Will Bring In The Crowds

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.

Those planning to expand an existing facility have to decide first what size course will work best at their facility. Any additional amenities will also have to be factored in. Manufacturers advise clients that an area of 1800 square feet is the minimum space necessary for nine holes. Adding another 1000 will allow for maximizing the effect. An eighteen hole course requires at least 3600 square feet with a square footage of 5400 recommended.

Managers who have experience with these courses have found it beneficial to have arcades, party rooms, and food service areas available. For those who want to open a business featuring a course as its sole attraction, locations like malls and major tourist areas have worked well. The stand alone companies have also succeeded. It seems that the venue is not as important as the location. You must have a high traffic count.

You and the design team will work together closely to create a course that fits the needs and specifications of your particular location. The designers will be sending you computer designed drawings, the electrical specifications, and possible course layouts for your approval. You decide the theme of the course. You might choose one of the most popular themes, which include outer space, oceans, jungles, and pirates.

You can have the design team build on one of these themes or create one of your very own. The props and obstacles fitted throughout your course will be intricately cast with fluorescent lighting. This gives off the eerie glow and shadows that make the game so much fun, and so challenging.

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.
