RailShot Mini Golf, a portable, changeable nine-hole miniature golf course, is being introduced by Adventure Golf and Sports.
For rental and special events providers, as well as hotels, resorts, retail centres, FECs and other entertainment venues, RailShot can be set up and removed quickly and the space needed to transport the course is minimal, AGS says. The course can also be set up like a maze, with multiple players on the course at one time.
The company's R&D team discovered it could modify a similar edge system used on its AmericanPie course to create this new product. The new RailShot standard edge sections, with reduced height, a unique pin system and use of a new 3D printed portable “elevated hole cup” (replacing the need for a sunken hole cup), resulted in a mini-golf system that allows golf-hole shapes to be changed anytime within minutes. RailShot does not require any specific turf, so the course can be set up on any surface.
“This product is very easy to install and the options are endless for an owner to create a custom course,” said Russ Ferrill, AGS senior construction manager. “There are four different sized edge sections, which can be pinned together in any sequence to create any shape. Anyone can create really funky and fun holes that go outside the lines of traditional mini-golf courses and the price is reasonable. Users can also purchase optional AGS custom faux wood obstacles, which include circles, triangles, bars and radius sections.”
“RailShot is different from our other portable products and is a throwback to earlier courses where banking golf shots from one edge to another is an integral part of the fun, thus the name RailShot,” said Scott Lundmark, AGS president.
