Golden Cub Golf

Course Overview

We at Nicklaus Design approached the design process for the Golden Cub miniature golf course in a manner very similar to our methods and philosophies for designing full-sized courses. We looked beyond typical miniature course design elements, and instead focused on variety, strategy and creating a unique and fun experience. We worked hard to create hole strategies that replicated certain types of putts found on full-size courses and also created scaled-down versions of full-size strategic golf holes. This creates a unique experience and gives even the most casual players a taste of strategic golf design. Unlike many miniature courses, Golden Cub relies on slope and undulation to create interest and strategy. The design emphasizes touch, with control of pace being a critical element on many holes. Additionally, many holes try to tempt players with high risk and reward design elements that bring excitement to the play of the course. The result is a miniature golf course that will equally interest and challenge seasoned golfers and casual players.
