ABSTRACT:
A miniature golf course including a perimeter fence made of hinged segments of blocks that are slightly higher than the diameter of the golf ball. There is a center section having a tunnel member in the rear thereof and another tunnel member in the front opposite the starting area. Within the center section is a removable ramp having simulated traps. On each side of the center section are fences parallel to the outside perimeter fences connected to each corner of the tunnel members. Pegs and openings within the members to receive the pegs enable the center section to be quickly and easily assembled. Three fairways are formed, one on each side of the center section, and one through the center section. A single target hole is located between the rear tunnel member and the rear of the perimeter fence. A blocking member is movable and adapted to be located to close off two fairways by connecting it to a corner of the front tunnel and the perimeter fence opposite the starting area. Triangular blocking members to create hazards in the path of the ball may be set into place at predetermined locations in each fairway. By changing the positions of the blocking member and changing the locations of the triangular blocking members a minimum of 18 different arrangements are available to play an eighteen hole game of golf. Each segment utilizes hinges and/or grooves and tongues, and/or pegs and openings to assemble the perimeter fences and the center section.
