Construction of a new 18-hole indoor course in Wyckoff, NJ, is now underway. This indoor course, with its Bavarian/Alpine Village appearance is part of an indoor golfing experience which also makes use of the latest golf simulator technology. New technology is also utilized on the miniature golf course, notably at the event filled 18th hole with its giant interactive cuckoo clock and digital sounds that add both sizzle and a memorable experience for the players (see Sketch of 18th hole). Do you spot the pachinko game? And what else do we need in an Alpine setting, yes, lots of evergreen trees. Check back for photos as construction progresses.

Castle Golf has begun a dramatic remodeling of the miniature golf courses at Frankie’s Fun Parks near Charleston, South Carolina. The vast majority of the 54 golf holes on the three 18-hole courses are being rebuilt. In cooperation with Sceneworks, Inc., the coastal scene structures are being revamped, refreshed, and new ones added. This grand revision has as its target a major increase in revenue in the next year to bring income in line with that of the other Frankie’s Fun Parks in South Carolina.

We are at the IAAPA Trade Show, Orlanda, Florida. Nov 15-18, 2011

Rainforest Adventure Golf in Dublin, Ireland, opened its doors to the public this October, bang on time after a 3 month build. Players may well consider themselves truly lost in the rain forest here, with rain effects, thunder & lightning, birds & cicadas and even capuchin monkeys putting in a surprise appearance from time to time! In July, the venue was just a large, open indoor space. Three months later and it's a rain forest, with Aztec temples, dense foliage and 36 holes of themed Adventure Golf.
