Opening A Blacklight Glow Golf Course Will Have Customers Standing In Line

By Barbara Hayes


Owning an amusement center probably makes you someone always on the lookout for exciting new ways to increase your customer base. Making dramatic additions to your facility can not fail to draw attention to it. You have probably heard that there is a hot new trend in amusement attractions. Miniature blacklight glow golf attracts people in every age group. It is family friendly and not expensive to manage.

If you do not have the funds available to purchase all the equipment and marketing materials, along with the cost of setting the operation up, you will have to convince a financial institution to lend you the money. This involves sitting down and creating a comprehensive business plan. You can get good information from the manufacturers. They can help with management issues, financial projections, marketing strategies and staffing needs.

If an addition to your existing facility is necessary, you are going to have to determine the kind of course to be installed and what other amenities you want to offer the public. For a nine hole course you are going to need at least eighteen hundred square feet with a thousand more recommended. A full eighteen hole course requires a minimum of thirty-six hundred square feet. The optimal square footage is fifty-four hundred.

Owners of these courses suggest creating areas for arcades, party rooms, and food service. Locations that attract tourists, and shopping malls, have been successful for those interested in making the course attraction all they offer customers. Purchasing a stand alone building and modifying it to suit a course has worked as well. Locating in an area where there is a steady stream of potential customers will make the difference between success and failure.

You will be working closely with designers to create the exact course to fit your needs and specifications. They should provide you with computer designed drawings, layouts for the course, and all the electrical specifications. The theme will be up to you. Some of the most popular themes are pirates, jungles, oceans, and outer space.

You can choose to have the design team modify one of these themes or ask them to design something specific to your location. Whatever you choose, all the obstacles and props on the course will be fitted with intricate fluorescent lights. The glow creates shadows and an ambience the makes the game challenging and fun to play.

It usually takes about two weeks to get the course installed and ready for the public. An experienced crew will be assigned to install the custom curbing that defines the greens. They will put in all the arches, walls, props, and other special effects on your new course. The black lights and carpet will be installed as the last step.

The entrance will be dramatic. This is the first thing customers see. It is the gateway and the real start of the course. An employee, completely dressed in character, will hand customers their glow-in-the-dark scorecards. Walking the multi-colored, glowing carpet will build excitement as the fun starts.
