Step 1: Materials

Purchase or scrounge the material. 2x4s Pressure treated (unless you have 3 swimming pools panels laying around) 4x4s Pressure Treated 3 4 foot by 8 foot 1/2 plywood indoor/outdoor carpet Metal Kid's slide Indoor/Outdoor Adhesive 4 inch diameter PVC pipe 2 inch diameter PVC if you want to have a course lower to putt down too various obstacles 3/4 inch plywood We had quite a few things laying around the house.

Step 2: Build the Bases

Build 4 by 8 rectangles with pressure treated 2x4s. Nail the base together with 16 D nails. Put the floor joists 16 inches on center. Nail the 4 x 8 piece of half inch plywood to the bases with 6D nails. Decide where you want to put your holes. We had a total of ten holes for our 3 section golf course.

Step 3: Create Bases for the Courses

For each course, we dug 4 post holes to the frost level (one post hole for each corner of the rectangle). We then inserted pressure treated 4x4s into the post holes and filled the remaining area of the holes with concrete. We left about 3.5 inches of 4x4 out of the ground. Make sure the 4x4s are level with each other.

Step 4: Mount Rectangular Bases Onto the 4x4 Foundation

Place your rectangular course on top of the 4x4s and after ensuring level - nail the course to the 4x4s. Cut 4 inch long PVC (4 inch diameter) and place in the golf holes that you previously cut out with the jig saw.

Step 5: Put on the Carpet

With a caulking gun, put indoor/outdoor adhesive onto the deck of the courses. Use a trowel that has grooves in it to spread the adhesive onto the deck. Cut the carpet to size before putting the glue down! After gluing, put the carpet on the deck. Use a roller to make sure the carpet is flat and pressed down onto the glued deck.

Step 6: Finishing Touches

If you have a slide or other means to connect multiple courses together, do that now. We also put a 2 x 6 pressure treated wood around the perimeter of the courses so that we could have a means of keeping the ball from leaving the course and for banking shots. Use your imagination to create obstacles.

How many cups are there in mini golf?

To avoid this, we’ve developed the Championship Style Miniature Golf Course. It uses three cups instead of just the standard 4″ white cup. While each hole has a white cup, around half of the holes have a 5″ red PENALTY CUP on the harder holes. These cups are strategically placed where the young and beginner putters will end up next to them. As printed on the score cards and at the start of the course, the cup is a one stroke penalty for everyone over 12 years old but not for children. This allows beginner putters to make the ball in an easier cup rather than always picking up the ball in frustration.

How many strokes per hole in golf course?
