Recently, Ian and I took on a small project to keep us "sane" because of all the snow on the ground. This project involves the construction of a miniature golf hole in a very large Tupperware container.
We used an already established L93 Bent grass green plug from the grass varieties section of the green house to be used as the green complex.
We then graded the fairway, tee and rough complex areas by packing down the soil to our desired shapes, (pot bunkers, sand bunkers, contours in the fairway and green side surrounds).
After shaping, we seeded the fairway complex to our desired shape and sand capped the area to allow germination along with some watering from our spray bottle irrigation system.
Thus far, the only areas that are seeded are the fairway and tee complexes.
After we have successful germination we will begin seeding the rough and green side surrounds with a fine fescue.
Seeding rates are unknown.
Plan of maintenance includes:
Watering, mowing with scissors, trimming, installing drainage down the road, fertilizing, aerifying, monitoring for diseases, and several other practices.
We also plan on installing a retaining wall around the elevated tee complex and the possibility of a water hazard along the left side of the fairway.
Any other suggestions to make our miniature golf hole a better environment are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Corbin

Most definitely need to place in a few landscaping materials around the tee box along with some miniature trees. Also, I was very excited to see a high germination rate on the fairway.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, germination rates were very impresive over the weekend. We need to start eating popsicles so we can build that miniature retaining wall around the elevated tee complex. What should we do for trees? Propagate some cuttings?
