Thank you for this! I've been wracking my brain for ideas to keep the kids busy this summer, and one of them mentioned wanting mini golf today (and, of course, everything is closed down here for the foreseeable future)... This will be a great project for that little guy and his sibs :)

It's hard to say the cost because i buy a lot of stuff for cheap at auctions, for this hole all i had to pay was like 20$ for the green because i already had everything else. If i were to make it from scratch it would probaly cost 60-80$

@NothingToDoCrew

Conservative estimate:150$. 2 20$ rolls of carpet, 10 2x4's (5-6$ each), 4 sheets of plywood (15$ each). But you can do much cheaper if you spend some time shopping around or being creative. Swap out 2x4's with bricks (whcih you can find on fb marketplace for free), find used shop carpet or those showroom carpet squares for next to nothing, you don't need the plywood if you have a flat surface to build on.

That's part of why I'm here actually. About a week or two ago I realized how awful the choices have gotten in this city so I started looking things up and this is the first video I saw. I've actually been looking for free plywood to see what I can make. I found a place giving away those "cornhole board" style things but it's too far away. I was gonna go with pallets since those are free all over the place and usually just as sturdy.

I got this foss grasslands turf from menards (it was44cents per sq foot). I’ve experimented with other turf styles from Home Depot and I haven’t had any problems with any of them so I would go with whatever’s the cheapest. For my 18 hole course I went to menards and they had a brand that was actually for putting greens and it worked out really well (best of all it came in 4ft width, which works perfect for my 4x8ft plywood)

It's kind of hard to tell because this setup was built using stuff i already had, but if you take out the plywood i would say the total cost is about 20$. The 2x4's and putting green are really cheap. i have a video coming out on friday that's just like this one, but it has 18 different holes. I used OSB instead of plywood and that cut the costss in half

A roll of 6x8 outdoor carpet is $22 at Lowes and $30 at Home Depot. Rather than try to estimate measurements on corner pieces, I'll just focus on materials for the straightaway: The easiest way to make one of those is to cut a 4x8 sheet of wood in half and run it end to end, then line it with 2x4s. Meaning you'd need nine 8' 2x4s (roughly $5 apiece) if you're using them for the base, the frame, and the end. A 4x8 sheet of plywood is about $50, but I'd use MDF and shave off $20. So if you're buying all of the parts for it you're looking at around $100. Plus any tools or fasteners you don't have. Still very cheap for a fun project though!

@NothingToDoCrew

What i meant was...it took me an hour to get the initial hole setup (most of the time was for cutting the carpet and jig sawing the hole). Then afterwards i made 6 different hole combinations (swapping obstacles and adding the L part) which only took a couple minutes each. I could make 6 seperate holes, but then i wouldn't be able to fit them in my shed when i am not using them and it would be a lot of up keep to have a private mini golf course that only i would probably use. Mainly made this to show that you could build a basic setup and easily swap obstacles to give yourself an 18 hole course in as small of a space as an garage (since most people don't have big backyards like me). During easter break i am going to shoot a video of us doing 18 different holes, it will still be one hole at a time (like in this video), but i will try and make the holes more complex and fun. If that video gets a decent amount of views, i promise to build a course with 18 seperate holes, so stay tuned.

Follow up note..I made an 18 hole video (swapping obstacles and layouts in between) and that only took a couple hours to build/play/film. Once you have the holes cut out of the plywood, the rest of the building only takes minutes
