Alright, I’ll do that in the final map

I'm curious about the overall layout of our side of the complex. Is it going to be similar to the Festival Center for EPCOT, but with an additional indoor third level (for the space level)?

Here is a very very rough sketch of the layout for Level 01 of the Sky/Space Course. I'm no artist, but I hope it's at least understandable. I do think I underestimated the space between each hole so some space adjustment can happen (I mean look how close Holes 1 and 3 are! Their set pieces are overlapping each other).

Thoughts? (Especially from you two, @gam3rprincess and @Pufflefan)

It’s a bit hard to make out at first, but it’s great once you focus in

Level 3 of the Sky Course
Cosmic Courses:
As we shoot for the stars here on our cosmic courses, we leave the Earth-bound atmosphere to travel the galaxy. From planets, to asteroids, through the stars and into the sun these last six courses take you on a tour of our solar system and beyond.


Hole 13 - Mission to the Moon
From the clouds we jump to the closest neighbor to planet Earth - our very own moon. This hole takes us into the dark expanse of space with starlight around the course, which is set up to look like the lunar surface. Dodge moon rocks and move around the light of the crescent moon to the large crater holding the end of this course.
  • Hole elements:
    • Crescent moon: small bumps and boulders make the curved path to the hole harder to navigate.

Hole 14 - Shooting Stars
Hit the ball up through the tail of the shooting star and try to get it in the best hole that leads down to the star center on the other side.
  • Hole element:
    • Shaped like a shooting star, balls go up a ramp that has multiple holes that transport the ball down to the star shaped green on the other side.

Hole 15 - "Mickey" Way Galaxy
A familiar face can be spotted in our familiar Milky Way Galaxy as the hole represents our own spiral galaxy.
  • Hole element:
    • Maze type course with multiple arms of the spiral galaxy leading to the Mickey center hole.

Hole 16 - Our Pal Pluto
We next head out to the farthest "not" planet Pluto! The hole navigates around the other large planets of Jupiter, Saturn and its rings, Uranus and Neptune before hitting it into the hole located on the small planet Pluto. Space Pluto (the dog) looks down on Planet Pluto as a little Easter Egg.
  • Hole elements:
    • 4 giant planets that the course weaves around and the fifth dwarf planet holds the goal

Hole 17 - Constellation Cave
A rather simple hole to allow guests to focus on the cave walls that show beautiful lit up constellations both real and Disneyfied.
  • Hole element:
    • Cave murals that light up where the star points would be.

Hole 18 - The Beanstalk
We finally make it back to the center of our solar system as we send our golf balls into the bright and large sun.
  • Hole elements:
    • Once the ball enters the Sun it is taken back to ball return.


This is obviously very very very rough, I had some stuff come up earlier and now I have to head out to my first day at work in over 2 months so I am really sorry for not being as active as I should of been. I did message @Pi on my Cake who agreed to help me finish this up but if anyone else has some free time and likes the concepts I came up with feel free. I get off half an hour before the due time and I will have to shower and clean off so I won't see the final project but I am very excited to see the end result.

You have a lot here. And you usually want later sections of projects to be less detailed to avoid reader burn out anyways. I got time tonight to refine it a bit and add a few more details. Gonna work on finishing my section and then editing this section now.

tbh reading through those holes I can add here and there but they don't need much. Will hunt for pictures and add it all in. The one thing I would love help on is possible is the 3 hole grouping names like the first 12 holes have (just for consistency sake)

Sounds good! I can add some groupings, you can add some photos and then we good.

Adding photos to my part now

Level 2 of the Sky Course
The Fantasy of Flight
Welcome to the Fantasy of Flight, where you can experience the wonders of the sky that has fascinated mankind for centuries! You will get to wander among the clouds and over rainbow bridges all from an elevated vantage point looking out over Disney's Gold Kingdom and feeling the wind in your face. Enjoy playing along the mountain side through a magical world of Giants, Beanstalks, Dragons, Pegasuses, and Balloons!

This section is divided into two parts, with two holes dedicated to a beautiful, shimmering cloudscape and another three holes dedicated to myths and fairy tales in the sky. Exiting the Elevator from the first level, you start on a rocky outcropping of the mountain that serves as a central icon for Disney's Golf Kingdom before quickly moving towards magical clouds with a sparkly paint that shimmers in the sun. These clouds make up the majority of the walkways and greens for this level. At the end of your tee time in the Fantasy of Flight, you'll enter a cave full of stars and ascend even higher to the third, and final, level of the course (A/N: it's basically an indoor sloped incline with some pretty lights)

Holes 7 to 9 - A World of Colors and Delight​

Hole 7 - The Rainbow Bridge
The only way to bridge the gap thematically and literally between the very real world Level One and the very fantasy world Level Two is with a hole very loosely inspired by the legendary Bifrost. A Rainbow Bridge. Hit from the rocky edge onto a winding rainbow bridge. Be careful what color your ball winds up on, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and Violet all lead to different places!
  • Hole elements:
    • Rainbow Bridge - The first half of the bridge will have all the colors together and some wiggles and bumps to navigate, making aiming for a specific color more difficult. The second half of the bridge has the colors separate from each other, each drops the ball in a slightly different spot on the green.

Hole 8 - The Balloon Bounce
This will be one of the crazier concepts for the course. There is a trampoline type surface made to look like a balloon. You have to hit your ball off a bit of a ramp, bounce it off the trampoline, and then try to land in a ski-ball type target (all encased in Plexiglas for safety). The closer to the center target, the closer to the hole you wind up. This hole is also surrounded by balloons for decorations.
  • Hole element:
    • The trampoline bounce for the target is inspired by this toy. It is simple in design, but would be very unique for a mini-golf course.

Hole 9 - Mr. Fredrickson's House
This hole takes you through the famous house from Up! It is a pretty simple hole without much special in terms of obstacles, but seeing Ellie's mural and Carl's chair and things like that will make for some very interesting visuals. A photo-op is set up for people to pose with the fireplace mural without being in the way of players.
  • Hole element:
    • Large-scale replica of the house from Up. Carl and Ellie's Bric-a-Brac make up some obstacles in the course, but there isn't much more than just some things to put around.

Holes 10 to 12 - Fantastical Beasts, this is where to find them​

Hole 10 - Dragons
Few fictional flying creatures have captured the imaginations of all those around the world like dragons have. This will be the curviest hole among the clouds as you have to navigate around all forms of dragons and wyverns that are sleeping on the cumulus course we are playing though.
  • Hole elements:
    • Five separate sleeping dragon statues on the course each inspired by a different myth or cultural interpretation.
    • A shadow of a dragon passing by far above us in projected onto the course once it becomes dark enough to see it.
    • Each dragon has separate unique audio for their snoring and puffs of steam/smoke coming from their nostrils. The smell of fire (The same found in the Rome Burning section of Spaceship Earth) helps complete the illusion of being among dragons sleeping in the clouds.

Hole 11 - Pegasus's Flight
A variation on a basic windmill type course, except instead of a vertical windmill you have to navigate a horizontal spinning Mobile with Pegasuses flying in a circle knocking the balls around and adding some nice dynamics. The course is slanted in ways that make it impossible for a ball to get caught in the mobile where hitting it would be difficult. Other ridges and curves in the hole make it even more important to hit the ball through the Pegasus Mobile or else wind up way off course!
  • Hole element:
    • Spinning Mobile with four different Pegasus "flying" in a circle to knock the ball around.
    • The Pegasus designs are not base on Hercules, but one of them has a color schemes very similar to Pegasus from Hercules as an Easter Egg.

Hole 12 - The Beanstalk
This is a rather simple hole navigating around clouds, but at the end is Jack's Beanstalk. It is a modified Archimede's Screw, so once you get it into the Beanstalk it will carry the ball up to the Third Level for you!
  • Hole elements:
    • The spinning of the Archimedes Screw will make it seem like the Beanstalk is constantly growing while also helping carry the ball up. This was used in the Winter Summerland Mini-Golf course already by Disney, so it is very simple technology despite being a very cool effect.
    • The Giant from the Mickey and the Beanstalk short can just barely be seen peaking above the side of the mountain over this hole.
    • Guests will have to enter a cavern in the side of the mountain that is full of starlight twinkling to walk up a sloped path to meet where there balls ended up. In a little holder waiting for them to claim them and begin Level Three. The slope inside the cavern will also give guests time to adjust to the lighting before entering the indoor black light section.
