Although the exact origins of golf are unclear, the sport (as we know it today) dates back all the way to 15th-century Scotland. Today, there are roughly 40,000 golf courses in the world, with the majority of them being in the United States, Japan, Canada, and England.
But who says you have to be a member of a club to play a game of golf, or travel to a course? You can have a course in your own backyard. Okay, it might not be pro-level or fit for the top competitors in the PGA Championship or the U.S. Open, but it’ll be a pretty great golf course. Well, make that a mini golf course.
Unlike golf, mini golf dates back to the early 20th century. Mini golf courses quickly spread around the world, and thousands popped up in the United States. Originally, the courses simply resembled a regular golf course but on a much smaller scale. But by the late 1930s, they started to be more complex. They were well landscaped, and featured obstacles like windmills, wells, and castles.
Why Build a Mini-Golf Course?
A mini golf course will be a great addition to your home for a number of reasons. You’ll have complete control over the course, so you can design it however you want to, and you can update it as needed. You can also play a game at any time — no need to worry about seasonal closings or daily hours. Plus, with your own course, there’s no real need to worry about golf etiquette, unless you have friends or coworkers over for a game. And that’s another reason to build a mini golf course — it’s a great way to entertain your guests!
