Features
Real water hazards run through the course via a large pond at the front and a creek connecting to a second pond at the rear, with ball scoopers on hand for balls that find their way in. Players warm up on a practice green before teeing off, and the course even features a photo-opportunity podium for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place at the end — along with a red or blue path to follow, the same tiered-difficulty design used across several Mini Golf Creations courses.
Return on Investment
Since the course was built, The Vines has seen a significant 25–30% increase in food and beverage sales — another example of the flow-on revenue a mini golf course can bring to a club or resort. The venue has also built an ongoing Mini Golf League, giving players a reason to return and compete regularly rather than visiting just once.
