Arcade-Themed Mini Golf Course Design Elevates Kingston Entertainment Venue
When Urban Fun set out to shake up Kingston’s social entertainment scene, they had a clear vision: create a venue for families, friends and groups looking for high-energy fun under one roof.
With their first site in Reading already open, their second location on the outskirts of London needed something that would set it apart. That meant a mini golf course design that would add something distinct, encourage competition, and work for every type of visitor walking through their doors. That’s what we set out to deliver.
Bringing Arcade Nostalgia to Life
The result? A 9-hole mini golf course design centered on gaming nostalgia. The course recreates classic arcade and party games that guests instantly recognize:
- Racing-themed hole with a tyre loop-de-loop challenge running beneath an arcade racing machine
- Beer pong with oversized party cups as targets
- Pinball machine with a vertical board, pins, and colored scoring zones
- Plinko-style drop board where balls bounce through pegs
- Basketball arcade hoop shot with scoring zones
- Bowling alley lane with pins and hidden target holes
- Coin pusher game with an angled table requiring precise timing
- Ring toss arcade game with center and outer rings
- A claw machine where landing the shot gives players a real claw attempt for prizes.
The mini golf themes tap into nostalgia while creating immediate engagement. We also delivered multiple custom illuminated beer pong tables as part of the project to add yet another unique element to the venue.
Complementing Urban Fun’s Multi-Attraction Model
Families with kids use this as their starting point before exploring the arcade or curling; friend groups treat it as a shared, competitive activity, letting the energy build as they move from beer pong to axe-throwing. The nostalgic design gets everyone talking and engaging right from the start.
Family entertainment centers and multi-attraction venues face a commercial reality: every attraction must justify its footprint. That means driving dwell time, creating repeat visit triggers, and delivering experiences guests want to share. When a mini golf course design is developed with those objectives built into the strategy, it performs.
We start by understanding what makes your venue different, then build on it with theming and design that amplify your brand. When those elements align, mini golf stops being just another activity. It becomes the reason guests walk through the door.
