OUR DESIGN AND PROCESS
Custom Design
What Is Custom Mini Golf Course Design?
Custom mini golf course design is a bespoke design process built entirely around your site — its shape, size, terrain and vision — rather than a one-size-fits-all template. No two Mini Golf Creations courses are the same, because no two sites are the same.

We bring your ideas to life
If you have any specific requests for your mini golf course, we’d be more than happy to integrate these into our designs. We’ll work with you at every step of the process and do everything in our power to bring your ideas to life.
Do you have the right site?
If you’re interested in one of our tailored mini golf courses, but aren’t sure if you have the right site for it, contact us, and we can discuss this with you.
We can also visit your site and give you a clearer idea of whether a mini golf course is possible with the land you have.
PROCESS
What does our design process involve?
Our design process has two main stages: concept and planning, and detailed design.
Stage 1. Custom Concept and Planning
The concept and planning stage involves workshopping ideas and creating a vision for your mini golf course.
This stage usually begins with us visiting your proposed site and giving you a concept brief. We’ll show you where a mini golf course could fit on your site and what it could look like: shape, size, features, etc.
Whether you have a small amount of space on an existing golf course, or a blank site with a huge amount of land, we’ll talk you through your options for adding a mini golf course.
During this stage we’ll also explain how the project plan would roll out. This will give you a firm idea of what’s involved at each step of the process and help you make a final decision.
Putting a plan in place from the very beginning is crucial. Of course, the plan may change numerous times during the course of the project, but having a clear plan to work from will ensure the project runs smoothly.
Stage 2. Bespoke Detailed Design
You’ve heard the pitch and you’re thrilled with the concept we’ve come up with for your mini golf course. That means it’s time to make the project official.
Once you sign a contract with us, the detailed design stage begins.
We’ll use the concept plans from stage 1 to create and compile all the necessary documentation to build your mini golf course.
This includes documents such as:
- detailed drawings of the course itself
- contouring and earthworks plans
- grassing plans
- drainage plans.
Once all the relevant designs and plans are completed and signed off, we’ll progress to the construction phase.
Custom Mini Golf Course Design FAQs
What makes a mini golf course design custom or bespoke?
Every Mini Golf Creations course starts with a site visit and a concept brief built specifically around your land’s shape, size and features. Nothing is templated — the layout, theming and hole design are all created from scratch for your site.
Can you design a custom mini golf course for any site shape?
Yes. Whether you have a small footprint on an existing golf course or a large blank site, we design around the land you have rather than asking you to fit a standard layout.
How does the custom design process work?
It happens in two stages. Concept and planning comes first — a site visit, a concept brief, and workshopping ideas for shape, size and features. Once you sign off, detailed design follows, producing the drawings, contouring and earthworks plans, grassing plans, and drainage plans needed for construction.
Do you offer custom designs for indoor mini golf courses?
Yes, the same bespoke design process applies whether your course is indoor or outdoor — we design around your space either way.
Is a custom mini golf course more expensive than a standard one?
Cost depends on size, features and theming rather than the design process itself — see our construction cost breakdown for typical ranges.
Do you design bespoke crazy golf, putt putt or mini putt courses internationally?
Yes — custom design is at the core of every project we take on, whether it’s called crazy golf in the UK, putt putt in the US, or mini putt in Canada.
