Miniature Golf Project
• Your group represents a golf course design and
construction company
• There will be no more than 5 members per group
with the following responsibilities
–
–
–
–
Course Design
Sample Hole Construction
Cost Analysis
Power Point Presentation
Course Design
• Make a scale drawing of your 9 hole golf course
– Find area, perimeter, and direct distance to hole
• Be sure not to count interior edges between different areas
–
–
–
–
Use color
“Pocket” diameter is 3in., but you can use a point in the sketch
Show the scale for each hole
Assume all holes are flat
Individual Hole Design
Requirements
• Design your hole using geometric shapes
– Calculate the area, perimeter
• Show hole-in-one route with a dotted line
– You should always make it possible to get a hole-inone
– Adjust hole shape if necessary
– Calculate the distance required for a hole-in-one
• Decide on realistic par for each hole (at least 2)
Sample Hole 1
•
•
•
•
Area (with “pocket”) = 32.27 sq.ft
Perimeter = 35.91ft
Distance = 10.58ft
Par 2
Sample Hole 2
• Area (with “pocket”)
= 33.62 sq.ft
• Perimeter = 43.89ft
• Distance = 8.95ft
• Par 2
Sample Hole 3
• Area (w/“pocket”, w/o
bumpers) = 21.35 sq.ft
• Perimeter (w/bumper
edges) = 40.59ft
• Distance = 8.78ft
• Par 3
Sample course layout
• Uses sample holes 2,3
• Use rotations and
dilations
Portfolio
– Portfolio (13 page minimum)
• Cover page—school appropriate company
name and logo
• One page for each sample hole
• One course layout diagram
• An accounting sheet with cost breakdown
• A sample score card listing par and direct
length for each hole
Model Hole
• Make a model of one hole on your course
• Use cardboard, wood, styrofoam, whatever
works best
– This model must be life – size as we will be
using it to play golf
• Calculate area and perimeter using
geometric formulae
Marketing
• Decide on a school appropriate company
name, a golf course name, and golf course
theme
• Design the score card, listing par and direct
length for each hole

– Turf:$1.25/sq.ft
– Trim around hole,bumpers:
$0.25/ft.
– Cement bumpers:$2.50/sq.ft
– “Pocket”:$5 each
• Calculate the following:
– Costs for each hole
– Cost for each material
– Total costs
Technical Support
• Put all documents from your group
members into a PowerPoint presentation
– Make it look good!
• Explain all the geometry used in the design
of the course
Assessment

• Every group member gets the same grade, except for
obvious exceptions
• This project is worth a test grade.
• Your project is due May 9!!
