MINIATURE GOLF
How long does it take to build a typical course?
It takes anywhere between 6 – 12 weeks to complete construction, depending upon complexity of
theming and site work. Upon completion, you will be ready to open for business immediately.
How much land do I need?
Typically, an 18 hole course requires ½ to ¾ acres of land, although we have built courses on as
little as ¼ acre. Additional land may be needed for more elaborate courses, parking lot, clubhouse,
etc.
How do I get started?
MGC Developers will assist you in all facets of development from choosing the right site to
designing the right course for the local area. If financing is needed, MGC Developers can assist
you with preparing your business plan. We will work with you to obtain local zoning and other
permits as well as to coordinate all aspects of construction.
How much will a typical miniature golf course cost?
MGC Developers provides turn-key construction. Construction for a typical miniature golf course
includes 18 miniature golf holes, practice putting green, sidewalks, lighting, multi-levels, rock
work, waterfalls, ponds and streams. Cost of a standard Miniature Golf Course ranges from
$185,000 to $250,000. Depending on the theme, layout of the land, and other construction issues,
the costs can increase. Theming and rock work are most likely the two biggest factors of budget
increases. Theming can include such ideas as mining, South Sea Pacific with erupting volcanoes,
nautical, jungle themes and the like. Theming can also include extensive rock work and waterfalls.
Issues regarding layout of the land range from soil composition and drainage to elevation and
required fill material. Other construction issues can include accessibility to the site and local
zoning requirements.
How profitable is miniature golf?
With virtually no inventory and low maintenance costs, even courses in northern climates can
produce a complete return of capital investment in the first year, depending on the average
percentage of course capacity.
How long have you been building Family Entertainment Centers?
MGC Developers has been in business since 1989 and has built an excellent reputation based on
our high standards of quality workmanship and customer service.
We stand by our work and guarantee all work and materials.

MINIATURE GOLF COURSE REVENUE PROJECTIONS
The following are revenue projections based upon the following assumptions:
72 patrons at one time (4 players times 18 holes)
Average cost per round = $5.00
Average time to play a round = 45 minutes
100% capacity = $450.00 per hour
If the facility is open for 12 hours per day, the revenue potential is $5,400.00/day or $37,800/week.

GO-KART TRACK REVENUE PROJECTIONS
The following are revenue projections based upon hours of operation and the number of tickets
sold. If a Go-Kart facility operates 20 Go-Karts, and the average ride is $5.00, the earning
potential is $100.00 per ride. If your ride takes 10 minutes (6 minute rides and 4 minutes to
load/unload), your optimal hourly revenue is $600.00/hr. If the facility is open for 12 hours a day,
your optimal daily revenue is $7,200.00/day. Therefore, your weekly optimal revenue is
$50,400.00/wk.
