Throttle & Swing, a new 18-hole mini-golf course, designed and installed by Adventure Golf & Sports, has opened in the Avondale area of New Orleans, Louisiana, US.
The new mini-golf venue is owned by the Nola Motorsports Park, whose racetrack is located adjacent to the new mini-golf and FEC.
David Pace, CEO of Nola Motorsports, said: “Driving 20 minutes to half an hour just to spend eight minutes on go karts, and then you’re done, and you’re like ‘what else is there to do?’
“I had to figure out what was the best piece to add to it. After spending some time doing a lot of research, visiting a lot of places, going to IAAPA and spending some time with the locals doing surveys, mini-golf came up more than one time.”
The Bunkers & Bumps style mini-golf course that has been installed at Throttle & Swing uses interlocking and permeable panels that are eco-friendly.
Dustin Tandy, the AGS crew supervisor of the installation, said: “It’s quite a challenging course. Players really need skill to read the greens.”
There are oversized yard games, arcade games, a planned future craft pizza kitchen and a sports and coffee bar alongside the new mini-golf location.
