You can have a miniature golf course, driving range, go-kart track, bumper boat pond or batting cages designed and built for your family entertainment center, and the website says crews are available anywhere in the continental United States. MGC Developers, LLC is a design and construction company in East Hartford, Connecticut.

A driving range you can add to your center or build stand-alone

You can add a range to an existing amusement center or build it as a stand-alone site. The company’s driving range page lists what a range design includes:

• Barrier netting and poles
• Synthetic turf
• A concrete tee line
• A synthetic turf putting green
• A covered shade structure

Call MGC for an estimate, and compare that scope with our driving range equipment checklist.

A custom 18-hole miniature golf course in your theme

You get a custom-designed 18-hole layout, and you can bring your own theme or leave it to MGC’s designers. Pirate ships, jungle scenes and tropical islands are among the examples it gives. The package covers multi-level rockwork, waterfalls, colored streams and ponds, walkways, lighting, a practice putting green and putting turf, work that falls within synthetic putting greens and wider golf course construction and design.

Land, budget and time for a mini golf course

The company’s FAQ gives these figures:

• Land: an 18-hole course usually needs half to three quarters of an acre, though it has built on as little as a quarter acre.
• Budget: it quotes a starting price of about $238,700 for a typical course, and theming and rockwork are the main reasons budgets rise.
• Time: it quotes a build time of 6 to 12 weeks, depending on theming and site work.

Where MGC can build for you

The company says it builds from coast to coast. Its FAQ notes that it has built batting cages and driving ranges in places as far apart as Seattle, Florida, Arizona and Maine.

Operators you can read about

Testimonials on the company’s home page come from:

• Mrs. B’s Ice Cream & Putt Putt, whose owner describes a mini golf course fitted around an existing dairy bar
• Staten Island Golf Center in New York, where MGC installed a go-kart track
• Caddy Shack in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts, which had batting cages built
• Holiday Mountain Fun Park in Monticello, New York, where MGC added a go-kart track and later batting cages to an existing mini golf course

Help beyond construction

You can get help with site selection, permits, equipment purchasing, and running and maintaining the finished facility. The company states that it guarantees all work and materials, and it says its crew sources materials with each client’s local suppliers.

What you pay and when

Once you approve the layout and design, a deposit of 10% of the budgeted cost secures your construction date. Weekly draws follow, with a final payment on completion.
