Winter side of Winter Summerland Mini Golf closing for refurbishment until further notice
- Thread starter wdwmagic
- Start date
Until further notice has a bit of an extreme tone to it. Are there serious problems with it?

That's what I was thinking. It sounds ominous...almost like a kiss of death or something.

I can't wait to see guerrilla style videos on YouTube of people running around in it in about 10 years, showing the rot and neglect!

While the cynic in me agrees, not sure there is much of a reduction in operating costs. Not like they monitor the courses, or perform routine maintainence.
Winter side really needs some work, too. Played just before Christmas, two holes had non-working effects, one hole was closed off with security tape, and the whole thing was begging for a new coat of paint.

Nice thought. And with Blizzard Beach being closed for it's annual rehab, perfect time for the both of them to add a little Olof theming...

No need to speculate. The past refurbishment was terrible and they weren't impressed with the work so they found a new company to redo the greens on it. One was so terribly done by the company that they shut down a hole and you go to a play an additional hole for a 2nd time. At least they knew it sucked and decided to fix it. No Frozen change.
That is good to hear. Winter SummerLand is a great little diversion that I would hate to see bulldozed.

I can only assume it's a money making machine since the overhead is practically zero so wouldn't see a need to bulldoze it. Additionally, Fantasia Gardens is a popular convention location for Swan and Dolphin so there's a good tie in and need to keep that one.

I hope they fix more then just the greens. Like Simeon else said, I just played on it last month on the winter side and it did have effects not working, needs some paint work and the greens were a little bad in some areas too. Even though that one hole was taped off my fiancé and I still tossed our balls down there to count it. Hope it's reopened by March!

I hope that's actually what's happening because it would be a shame to lose half of this little gem.

Side note:
This is one of the best AP discount offerings. As a local, we enjoy the 50% off quite often. Far more than the crappy 15% off we get at Universal.
See how that works Disney, give us a decent discount and the pocketbook opens really easily. Now how about some dining discounts so I do not have to keep eating off site before I visit, m'kay?
