The pics on Screamscape make this mini golf an absolute after dark only affair. The pictures are absolutely amazing. Looks like they truly have made a next gen golf course. Especially if there are a lot of sensors triggering effects like they hint.

The prices are much more reasonable than I thought. I'm glad to see fair prices and I hope this is a hit for Universal. It looks great!

Thanks for the info, those hours seem a bit more realistic!

I've dared the Disney 24 hour group to head from MK at 6am out to Universal Golf at 8am...we'll see if they go for it, or if they die instead!

I'll be checking out the mini-golf course on Sunday. Until then, just gotta wait and see if anyone else plays it and offers a report.

I was questioning how these enhancements would look in the long run...but after seeing this video..I'm very happy with what they've done! Can't wait to get back out to Orlando and ride it in it's new form this summer!

Got a chance to check out Hollywood Drive in Golf today at USF. I only did the Haunting of Ghostly Greens course and took lots of pictures.

Enjoy!

And if you decided to play another round at the end, you can add it here. It is the same price as pre-paying for 36 holes.
