Greenspan Projects Ltd, a creative design and build specialist, is showcasing how its imaginative approach to mini-golf and adventure golf is fueling rapid international growth from the UK to the US and beyond, as the team prepares to exhibit at IAAPA Expo 2025 in Orlando next month with their biggest and most interactive stand to date.
Greenspan’s agility as a business, combined with an in-house tech development team, is revolutionising mini golf in all its forms, from integrating digital scoring into new and old projects to create one-of-a-kind tech golf experiences, to developing premium putting course designs influenced heavily by real golf that make the game accessible to more people than ever before.
Each project blends artistry with engineering to reshape how players engage, compete, and share their experiences.
Setting a new standard
With a solid reputation as a UK mini-golf specialist, the company is also seeing rapid growth in the US. For instance, Greenspan recently worked with Albatross at Edison, New Jersey, to create a groundbreaking 18-hole indoor mini golf experience.
Blending highly themed environments with cutting-edge digital scoring, the venue is crafted as a social, competitive, and shareable experience that attracts a broad audience. Early reviews and success suggest that it sets a new worldwide benchmark for what mini golf can be.
Guests enjoy intricately themed holes featuring scenes like red-carpet premieres, private jets, underwater adventures, and cinematic journeys, each incorporating custom audio and lighting cues that tell a complete story.

This seamless integration of immersive storytelling with interactive technology is a hallmark of Greenspan's approach, transforming each venue into more than just a game but into a narrative-driven experience.
More innovative projects across the US
The team also created a custom themed indoor mini-golf course for Field Day in Huntsville, Alabama. Here, the theming is nostalgic, with nods to movies, sports and games, including Talladega Nights, Toy Story, E.T., Home Alone, Pac-Man, Snakes & Ladders, and more.
The venue, which opened in summer 2025, also features AR Darts, golf and multi-sports simulators, axe throwing, and a variety of food and beverage offerings. By referencing pop culture touchstones, the course encourages guests to revisit shared stories.
In Salt Lake City, Utah, Greenspan has delivered a 9-hole Puttify course to a new venue, Rounds Putt Lounge. It features a unique custom livery/wrap unique to the venue and serves as an excellent showcase of the customisation options available to clients.
The interior decor features a colour gradient reminiscent of a Utah sunset; for those who book a round in the early evening, the venue offers incredible views of the Wasatch Mountains to the east.
For Sports Challenge America in Bonita Springs, Florida, the team developed an 18-hole outdoor sports-themed mini-golf course with digital app-based scoring developed entirely in-house. It’s part of Greenspan’s broader commitment to integrating smart technology into gameplay, enhancing the social and competitive experience for every player.
As Greenspan’s first outdoor course with digital scoring, and with many more in construction, this venue is set to open before Christmas 2025.
In addition, Greenspan has brought a 19-hole premium putting course to Gem Lake Hills - The Mini Gem at White Bear Lake in Minnesota. This was designed to imitate real golf course design while offering a mini-golf experience with wide appeal for both families and serious golfers alike.
The venue hosts a community of over 800 juniors who play at the club during the summer, and the club is dedicated to fostering and supporting a community built on enjoyable, memorable experiences. This emphasis on community engagement shows how Greenspan’s projects are created not only as attractions but as gathering places that bring people together through play.
This is the first of many outdoor courses of this kind on Greenspan's slate, with many more in 2026.
Before the end of the year, one of Atlantic City's top hotel and casino resorts will open the Ocean's 18 indoor, tech-infused mini golf offering.
This features an 18-hole themed mini golf course, including a solitary “Puttify” challenge hole, a unique setup that further demonstrates the versatility of Puttify and Greenspan in providing customised solutions tailored to the commercial ambitions of clients.
The challenge hole is designed as a separate “pay to attempt” challenge hole, offering players the chance to win big - a fitting addition to any casino resort. The course is ocean-themed, with theming taking guests on a trip beneath the waves. It will open ahead of Christmas 2025.
After making waves in the US, Greenspan’s creativity continues to inspire projects worldwide.
Mini-golf around the world
In Germany, Greenspan has worked with Europa-Park on Gold Rush Golf. This is an 18-hole American West-themed outdoor adventure golf, part of the park’s Wild West-themed resort, Silver Lake City.
The project showcases Greenspan’s ability to adapt its storytelling expertise to different cultural contexts — bringing cinematic, immersive worlds to life on an international stage.
It is the first of many collaborations with the “World’s Best Theme Park” Golden Ticket-winning venue and is already proving a popular value-add to the resort. The course features multiple custom-made features, including outhouses, rope bridges, snakes and wagons.
It was completed in the summer of 2025 and is already entertaining guests and holidaymakers.
From Europe to Africa, Greenspan’s ability to adapt its creative vision to different markets is evident in its recent work for Shooters, a competitive socialising venue in Johannesburg, South Africa, where it completed its first full FEC brand, design, and build project.
The company was tasked not only with designing a concept for the golf but also with planning and executing the entire project from the ground up. This included the mini-golf, interior design and theming, coordinating a variety of digital games and activities, restaurant areas, and, additionally, delivering a brand concept that unified everything.
The mini-golf element offers nine holes with custom theming. There is also AR darts, digital clay shooting, shuffleboard and bank shot shuffle. This location opened in the third quarter of 2025, with more venues to come.
Back home in the UK
Closer to home, Greenspan's recent UK projects include Mad Swans in Somerset. This is a 12-hole premium putting course for an eco-resort in the Mendip Hills, featuring dramatic topography for an immersive experience and a routing that mimics real golf course design, complete with humps and bunkers to navigate.
The mini-golf course, combined with a 12-hole full-size executive golf course, eco lodges, luxury driving range, padel courts and a fantastic F&B and leisure club, is designed to bring new meaning to the term “country club”, including not least, removing the air of inaccessibility that has historically been associated with the term.
Opened in July 2025, this is the first of multiple venues planned with Mad Swans; the second is already in active development.
At Prairie Village in Burnley, UK, Greenspan worked with the local government trust to create Jurassic Adventure Golf, which opened in October 2025.
This is an 18-hole, dinosaur-themed course featuring custom theming, audiovisual elements such as motion-triggered dinosaur sounds, a giant volcano that erupts every 15 minutes with plumes of smoke, and a downed aircraft that remains a smoking wreck.
It complements a venue that already features a 16-bay TopTracer driving range, a variety of artificial and natural turf areas for football and rugby, as well as a modern, upmarket F&B offering to attract a broad demographic from the local area.
From cinematic indoor courses to expansive outdoor adventures, Greenspan Projects continues to redefine what mini-golf can be. With each new venue, the company demonstrates not only its craftsmanship but also its dedication to innovation, storytelling, and community, setting the scene for an exciting showcase at IAAPA Expo 2025.
Attendees at the trade show can find out more about the firm's mini-golf expertise by visiting the team at booth #2883.
