Course owners are doing a tremendous business.
Most miniature golf is played in the evening hours and on weekends.
A typical game takes about forty-five minutes and an eighteen hole course can accommodate about 100 players per hour. On summer evenings, many Harris built courses have waiting lines and operate at capacity for most of the night. As you go farther south, the season becomes longer and income increases. The table illustrates that a reasonable volume business, even on a northern course, produces exceptional profits. Many Harris Miniature Golf Courses return their capital investment in the first year.
