Mini Golf

[Curoly06]

Has anyone heard anything about the new Mini Golf place they are building at City Walk? I was wondering if it would be opening soon.

They are putting the artificial turf on as well as the final landscaping. Shouldn't be too long now!!!

It is on either side of the moving sidewalks as you go or come from the parking garages.

Do we have any idea what the price is going to be? I plan on going in April and would like to work it into my budget.

I haven't seen pricing information anywhere or how they will handle the crowds. I'm guessing it will be some sort of tee time set up...at least initially but could be wrong.

Yeah, it will be interesting to see how this plays out. I love going over to the mini golf courses Disney has near the Swan & Dolphin, and figured they would be priced near to that. But there's two other factors. 1) Both of these courses look amazing. They are also going to be the first things people see when they enter from the parking lots which means 2) They will get a lot more foot traffic than Disney's, which would make the demand much higher.

I imagine they are going to be able to set the price point relatively high because of those two factors, but an off setting factor may be that the holes look relatively "easy" and you don't want someone dropping 15-20$ per person and fly through the course. Maybe it will be $20 per person and you get all 36 holes.

Hollywood Drive-In Golf Opens This Week!
Hollywood Drive-In Golf, a unique 36-hole miniature golf experience, opens this week at CityWalk! Inspired by
the classic drive-in movie era, guests will be whisked into an elaborately-themed environment based on the
vintage horror flicks and “little green men” science fiction
films of the 1950s.
As they experience two family friendly courses, “The
Haunting of Ghostly Greens” and “Invaders From
Planet Putt,” guests will putt their way through
elaborate movie-style scenes, passing through
a cemetery, under a giant spider, through a flying saucer and into the
basement lab in a haunted house.
