Adventure Golf and Sports (AGS) in cooperation with Holovis is to introduce a nine-hole sports-themed 360GOLF course.
“This is high-tech miniature golf that debuted at last November’s IAAPA trade show with a prototype Duck Gallery hole, which resulted in substantial interest within the industry,” states Scott Lundmark, AGS president.
“As a result, our companies are now introducing a complete nine-hole course based on popular sports.”
The sport-themed 360GOLF holes will feature automatic scoring, gamification and other interactive sensory play features powered by an exclusive Holotrac golf ball interacting with sensors throughout the course. The game is designed to encourage repeat play.
Developed by Holovis, the product has been sold in the UK and Far East markets, and now AGS is selling the product throughout North America.
“At the IAAPA show, guests played Duck Gallery, a carnival-themed golf-hole, and asked about the nine-hole model and the option of creating a signature branded model for their exclusive use,” says Lundmark. “We are currently working with several prospects on each of these options.”
The new nine-hole sports-themed 360GOLF miniature golf experience features interactive golf holes of Archery, Basketball, Bowling, Cricket, Soccer, Formula 1 Racing, Horse Racing, Pool (Billiards) and Surfing with a rideable surf board.
AGS says the new sport-themed 360GOLF course can be installed indoors or outdoors (mini golf holes are weather & corrosion proof) and ‘is ideal for Amusement Parks, FECs, Cruise Ships, Restaurants, Bars / Brewpubs, Hotels and anywhere fun activities are used to attract and retain guests.’
According to Holovis engineers, each player is assigned a ball with a unique signal, so all scoring and strokes for each ball are personalized to one guest.
“A large high-definition display screen is embedded into the marquee to feedback player scores, fun animation, stroke count, and events as they happen in real time,” states Jos Van Der Steen, Development Director at Holovis. “The guest sensory experience includes reactive media, sound effects, and LED lighting to accent game play as it happens.”
