Testimonials
“A lot of people say it’s the best (mini golf) course they’ve ever played. It’s really amazing. It’s held up extremely well. It still looks brand new. There’s like no wear and tear. All we have to do is take a leaf blower every morning and blow off all the fallen leaves on it and that’s all the maintenance we have to do besides treating the water.”
Owner, Outdoor Adventure Park
Adventure Golf Sports came up in a search to find a portable mini golf course for a one-off event. After juggling the price and logistics of the course we saw a real opportunity to create a market on the east coast for renting out portable mini golf on a weekly basis. After the one-off event we initially purchased our course for, we ended up buying another course and still continue to rent out our course time and time again. We have had these courses for several years with great success and they have held up extremely well with little to no maintenance!
Owner of Event Rental Company
In the wake of Hurricane Sally, Caribe Resort tasked AGS with finding a solution to replacing our rooftop miniature golf course. The work had to accommodate existing undulation, drainage, and ingress/egress paths. Also, the course, due to its Gulf front location, had to hold up to high winds, intense heat, and heavy rainfall. AGS’s experience in similar applications proved invaluable and they delivered a signature amenity at our property. Our owners and guests have been ecstatic about this fully renovated and enhanced amenity and we could not be happier!
General Manager of Resort
“What I really liked about it (the AGS Modular Advantage system) is we still allowed a pervious system on the floor of our island. So we didn’t bring in a lot of concrete and pour concrete in it. So water that comes into that area can still flow off or go through the product onto our island. Nature wasn’t interrupted by what we did on the golf course.”
President of Hotel
“I like the way it (Modular Advantage) looks. And the other thing is…we have an insane amount of freeze and thaws and outdoor concrete courses here just end up cracking and heaving and creating all kinds of other problems that are weather related around here… The benefits (of Modular Advantage) outweigh the negatives of building a concrete course.
Owner of FEC
“The eco-friendly qualities of the Modular Advantage were obviously appealing with what we were trying to convey. I looked other places to see what else was out there and honestly they’re the only ones that have this style course… It feels like a higher quality course than the harder cement-based courses… More of a natural feel. And we really like it. We’re really happy with it.”
Owner of Miniature Golf Course
“Our Director of Athletics had the idea for including a miniature golf course on the rooftop. We were trying to maximize our space. On most buildings this would be just wasted space. We felt there was potential to use that space to expand the footprint of the building without expanding the building.”
Assistant Athletic Director, University
“AGS really developed something we couldn’t make any better. I don’t know what we would do to make it better except maybe improve our scores when we play it!”
Resort General Manager
“It was a great experience working with AGS and I would recommend them to others.”
Owner, Outdoor Adventure Park
“Our company is sponsoring four PGA golfers as a unique way to drive awareness of sustainability solutions with potential customers. To make the most of these golf partnerships, we planned to host 12 golf-themed open houses throughout the country. Our goal was to transform our warehouses into a “green” party with an atmosphere that leaves a lasting impression on all attendees. Throwing a party was the easy part but doing it in a way that could be packed up on a truck and driven to the next warehouse was the challenge. Then we found AGS’s Little Duffer product! It was one in a million – a mini golf course we can place anywhere that can withstand multiple uses and shipping across the country. It is the first activity people see when they walk into our events, creating a fun atmosphere for our golf-themed parties.”
Veritiv Regional Marketing Manager
“They (AGS) were good to work with and they kept their word…We were fortunate they were willing to work with us and come during probably one of the hottest summers in a while and get this thing taken care of for us… They held pretty tight to the days they said they were going to need to be here for construction.”
Municipal Director of Planning & Development
“AGS designs are very much with the times. They’re contemporary. They design some holes to be challenging, yet they’re not too difficult where people get real frustrated with them…And it’s good for all ages.”
Mini Golf Operator for Municipal Park
“I thought it (mini golf) would attract more people from town and increase business by maybe ten percent. I was wrong. 90 percent of the people who came to (mini) golf came in to eat. It increased our food and beverage sales around 30 percent!”
Sports Bar & Grill Owner
“What I really liked about it (the AGS Modular Advantage system) is we still allowed a pervious system on the floor of our island. So we didn’t bring in a lot of concrete and pour concrete in it. So water that comes into that area can still flow off or go through the product onto our island. Nature wasn’t interrupted by what we did on the golf course.”
President of Hotel
“They (AGS) were very clear about what they could and couldn’t do, they got over the hurdles we gave them and so I highly recommend them. So would any of our owners because the end result exceeded our expectation.”
General Manager of Resort with Condos
“From the beginning and planning stages, they (AGS) immediately responded to our needs…They talked through with us what our wants and aspirations were for this golf course, what our vision was. They didn’t come back and say, ‘You know what. We can’t do that.’ They were solution-based in everything we threw out there and they also did our recreation court. So whether it be the golf course or the recreation court, they found solutions for what we needed and never took us down a path of something we didn’t want.”
President of Hotel
“Their team was super professional. AGS gave us a truly three-dimensional links course that has accents with topography. It’s aesthetically exceptional looking…”
General Manager of Resort
“I don’t think I could have built a better course for the money than I did with AGS…They listen to the customer and build a course that’s closest to the customer’s desires within their budget as I think anybody possible could.”
Owner of FEC
“This is actually more like a golf course that’s been miniaturized. Holes are set up like real golf holes. You could hit it out of bounds, you can hit it in water, you can hit it in sand. Those things are turf, not real water or sand. But it’s more like real golf where you try to get to one spot and then to the next spot other than just whacking the ball and letting it ricochet off borders.”
CEO of non-profit operations firm for City Park
“If we’re doing a ropes course, we’ll very likely have that married with a mini golf course underneath it…And we’re happy with the speed of service we’re receiving from Adventure Golf.”
Corporate Director, Resort chain
“The new AGS course uses interlocking panels. Rain runs off and drains with our course and there is no water pooling…(Ours) is larger than most 18-hole miniature golf courses and it’s got two cups per hole and one of them is always plugged, so we’re able to make it so that the experience is never the same. We can rotate the holes that are plugged or unplugged anytime we want.”
FEC VP Operations
“The newest, hottest site out there is a mini golf course that looks like a real course, not something with windmills and animation. So that’s kind of why we went this route. And after meeting with AGS at IAAPA and talking to a couple different places, I realized they had the ability and seemed like the best group for us to head down this path.”
CEO of FEC
“It’s not a putt-putt or goofy golf… The whole thing is turf and then there are simulated areas where it’s blue (turf) that looks like water and tan (turf) that looks like sand… You could take a route to the hole that is high risk – high reward or play it super conservatively and maybe shoot par or something in between. And so, the more you play, the more you figure out how you want to play a particular hole. It is a challenging course…”
Owner Mini Golf-centric entertainment venue with casual dining and full bar
“It’s amazing how quick they work. They are so good. So professional. Focused on work. In and out of here. Cleaned up. I can’t say enough great things about the company itself. On budget. On time. Wonderful people.”
Owner of Mini Golf at Vineyard
“It’s not a concrete course. It’s got these interconnected panels underneath the turf. So those panels can be raised or lowered depending on how the design of the hole was intended to be. And it also helps with drainage. Water goes right through the turf and right through the panels that are perforated. From a maintenance perspective, it’s a lot easier for us. Just from a cost perspective, too, this stuff can be cut into all different shapes and sizes and the interlocking pieces are quite easy and a lot faster and cheaper than a more pronounced structure underneath… cheaper than concrete plus it helps with the drainage…”
Co-Owner of RV/Camper/Glamping Resort
“With the Modular Advantage …you get good subsurface drainage to take the water away so it’s not pooling. That appealed to me …because we knew the traditional (concrete) style was going to present some challenges financially, drainage-wise and maintenance-wise.”
Director of Parks & Recreation for City
“They (AGS) checked all the boxes. They were very easy to work with from the design on. It was pretty seamless…When it came to the installation of it, the crew was fantastic… The product appears to be holding up as they said it would, but their service to get it from beginning to end was fantastic.”
Campground Manager
“AGS nailed the design. And the (installation) crew on site was so professional…They were very accommodating. There were one or two things where we ran into some snags and they gave me choices to reconfigure a hole one way or the other and it all worked out…I can recommend them.”
Sports Bar & Grill Owner
“These guys (AGS) do stuff that’s a little bit different. It’s one thing to go to a mini golf course and historically everything’s the same. But now companies like AGS are doing some unique things…You’ve got hills, you’ve got rough areas and that’s the new thing and AGS can do all that stuff.”
Co-Owner of RV/Camper/Glamping Resort
“In my opinion anybody can design a miniature golf hole with a dinosaur or anything on it, but I like the fact they (AGS) came in and treated it like a golf course green where it has slope, has contour, has some challenges that are naturally born into the hole…”
Director of Parks & Recreation for City
“Their (AGS) value proposition is different than conventional mini golf courses. There’s a mini golf course in another town nearby, but that’s a windmills and dinosaurs kind of a golf course. That’s what I call goofy golf. But Adventure Golf often builds more of a tournament style putting course.”
Owner of FEC
“I’ve played several golf courses across the country to see what was right, what was wrong, and to get some ideas over the last 25 years. Cement cracks and carpet wears out. And they (AGS) told me ‘Use this modular course. The carpet (synthetic turf) doesn’t wear out as much because the water drains off of it and it can flex.’ What was intriguing to me was that, if we wish, we can always tweak it and move it around a little bit compared to pouring cement where it’s permanent.”
Owner of FEC
“Because of the nature theme… the eco-friendly qualities of their modular advantage (mini golf course system) were obviously appealing with what we were trying to convey. I looked other places to see what else was out there and honestly they’re the only ones that have this style course.”
Owner Mini Golf Course
“It’s a rolling, meandering, beautifully landscaped mini golf course design with speakers and lights and a drink holder at the beginning and end of every hole so you never have to set your drink down on the ground. It’s like a stroll through a well-landscaped park.”
Owner Mini Golf-centric casual dining restaurant
Two years ago we did a complete renovation of the place with AGS… When taking over old courses that were challenged, a lot of the reviews were negative on the condition of the courses. Now we don’t get any negative reviews about the quality of the courses. The positive comments and the numbers we get from the courses has increased. We hear good things from customers consistently.

our goals. They had a great plan of attack and relevant experience, and we are extremely happy to have chosen them for this project. Working alongside the NPS (National Park Service) requires significant documentation and following exact processes, and AGS has been able to provide everything we asked for from a schematic design perspective and a design layout. They have a great team and have done exemplary work.
“Sales were. . . . almost double what I hoped for. Again, we cannot thank you enough for all your assistance…I know we paid for it, but you sincerely cared about getting everything right for us, and not everyone comes across like that.”
“We are very pleased with the design and construction of the miniature golf course. I want to thank you for your help in making this project such a success…and for an excellent job.”
Pekin Park District, Pekin, IL
“It honestly was great to work with you. . . you were extremely responsive to our needs and concerns and made sure things went as smoothly as possible. I would recommend your services to anyone interested in design and construction of an exciting miniature golf course. Thanks for all your service before, during and after. We really appreciate it.”
City Of Richfield, Minnesota
“Hi, I’m the founder of Fun Country and I hired Adventure Golf & Sports out of Traverse City to come in here and build this golf course. They did everything from permits to finish and did the lighting the stone work and everything. I’m real happy with what they did real good job and excellent people to work with.”

“It was good to see you again at IAAPA. We still get great comments on how fun our Firehouse Golf Course is to play.”

“I am pleased to recommend your company as a competent and reputable builder and I know you are also a leader in our industry. We have two courses called the Caribbean Adventures and the themed scenes and golf playability are fun for everyone. We wanted a pirate’s theme and you did a great job interpreting our needs. As you know I also relied on your thoughts when we moved our driving range tee to make room for expansion and this also worked out well.”

“In our business it is imperative that we continue to make memories worth repeating in all that we do. This is why we rely on dependable service from contractors like you. To help us maintain our customer satisfaction. Your staff consistently made extra efforts to assist us in completing our Mini-Golf projects in a timely manner. We want you to know that we are very pleased with the quality of service your company provides. We sincerely appreciate your responsiveness and the way you conduct business. We have and will continue to recommend your company to others because of our satisfaction, with your service. Thank you again for your contribution to the entertainment industry.”

“I called for assistance with site planning. We changed sites three times. The folks at Adventure Golf & Sports were very flexible and timely to meet my changing needs. I would recommend your services to anyone interested in design and construction of an exciting miniature golf course. It honestly was great to work with you, you were extremely responsive to our needs and concerns, and made sure things went as smoothly as possible.”
“As the Director of Exhibits for The Academy of Natural Sciences, I am pleased to report that the Planet Golf (now entitled Fore.’ The Planet) educational and interactive miniature golf course exhibit that we created together in 1999 has now been hosted by numerous institutions, including the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Discovery Science Center in Santa Anna, California, and Moody Gardens in Galveston, Texas. And of course it had its premier here at The Academy of Natural Sciences.
The project has been a great success with thousands attending and having fun while being educated about natural science. Your company’s participation was vital in developing a golf course that would be sufficiently light and robust for travel, and would also provide a challenging and satisfying game of miniature golf. You more than succeeded on all counts! I am pleased to recommend you to others seeking to build a creative and fun miniature golf course.”
Academy of Natural Science
“I just wanted to thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to making The Glenlivet City Links program a success. As you know, when our client came to us last year with the concept of building an indoor, Scottish links style golf course that could be transported around the country on a mobile tour, we weren’t quite sure where to begin. We looked at several other golf course builders and decided to go with Miniature Golf Services because of your passion for the project and years of experience in the field.”
“We couldn’t have been happier with the results. Your staff was able to build a golf course that went above and beyond our client’s expectations, so much so that the program won an international award with their company for the best PR/Marketing program for the year (an honor that the U.S. component had never won before). This year, when we ran into an obstacle of fitting the course into a difficult space, your staff responded with a solution that was cost-effective and worked perfectly.”
“Thanks again for everything. We really appreciate it and couldn’t have done it without you!”
Legacy Marketing for Glenlivet
“Just wanted to let you know that the golf set up at our trade show last week was a huge hit. Thanks for helping us make this a successful event. Very easy set up and it only took a few of us a couple of hours. We didn’t even use the screws and bolts to keep it together. We figured it would be ok for a short period of time and we were right.”

“You did great work and I enjoyed working with you. Thanks again for your hard work just getting down here. Many would not have gone to the extremes you did and I really appreciate it! Thanks too for the maintenance manual!!”
“I am delighted that the first contact will now bear fruit for us both. I really like your system and think it will be much better for our vessels – much easier to maintain in the long run.
Good luck on this project. I think that may be the ship that puts us so far ahead of the competition . . . . I am looking forward to it.”
“I hear that the putting green looks good. I am glad that installation went smoothly. I am looking forward to hearing about how passengers receive it.”
American Cruise Line
“Adventure Golf was phenomenal to work with. I say that because this was a highly-complex design, for one; and they brought to bear their skill set to make that a reality. It’s one thing to draw a picture on paper; it’s another thing to have it be constructible in the field.”
“The (concrete-built mini golf) course turned out really well. It was a great collaboration with Adventure Golf to get some of the custom items and fit it around the pool and on the hillside… Our goal was to have it look like the miniature golf holes were just dropped into the natural badlands terrain of the hill… It has been well received and well played.
Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation
We are extremely happy with this project and in no way would it have turned out so well without the help of your team…Please extend my sincere Thank You and appreciation to your team. They went above and beyond and helped create a wonderful addition to my resort.

Great Wolf Resorts
“The biggest plus to this whole thing so far has been having everything so close together, especially when I’m running clinics. Before, with the putting range, the chipping green and the course so far from one another, it was difficult for me and for other staff to feel like we were able to give all players good attention.”
Fort Sill Army Base
“I thought if we did pop-up mini golf, we could lease out an area for a month, two months tops, and then we could do mobile events like birthday parties and control our schedule… “It’s really a fun thing. I’m glad I did it. It was a little bit harder than I thought it was to put the mini golf course together, because it was just my husband and me. But we did it! …(MiniLinks) is like a Lego set where the turfs for each hole are numbered.”

“All ages have enjoyed (the MiniLinks course) and we normally have a line waiting to play on weekends.”

“Ease of installation was high on our list as well. We saw where they could put it down in a parking lot if you so choose, so we thought – ‘Wow! How easy is that?’ Just snap these (interlocking panel) pieces together and you’ve got yourself a course…”
Romp’s Putter Port
“We wouldn’t have met the construction schedule if it had not been for the use of the (AGS) Modular Advantage system. It had advantages over poured concrete as a base material and advantages over sand…The feel underfoot is such that you would not have a sense of exactly what is underneath the turf. There’s no flex or give when you walk on the course.”
Acts Continuing Care Retirement Community
“On most buildings this would be just wasted space. We felt there was potential to use that (rooftop) space to expand the footprint of the building without expanding the building… It was a concept and a drawing, but until you see it built, I don’t think we realized what we were getting. We didn’t give them very much space and they came up with something very useable. We’re really happy with the course.”

“We had all these trees on the property we purchased to build the course on, and the Modular Advantage® system from Adventure Golf & Sports became a huge benefit to us… You have no initial expense of having to excavate or doing extensive prep work. And it doesn’t take nearly as much time for installation and completion.”
Cen-Tex Mini Golf
“The pictures they (AGS) had online of the (AnywhereLinks, Jr.) course were good, but in my opinion, they did not do it justice. When you come and see our course it really pops. It’s really a nice-looking course. It’s a quality product. And people have really taken to it. We’ve had so many compliments. And financially it’s taken off, too!”
