I'm proposing to put a course in a high-end neighborhood. It is really an expansion since there is already a doinky 9 holer on the site I am targeting. The town also has another typical Chicago course - wide open, short and boring. So they are familiar with DG, but neither course gets much play. But they have no clue about real DG (that's what I'm planning) - a great par 65 or 67 (real par) course with challenging and fun fairways. It is mini golf vs real golf.
In my initial discussions with the park folks I have been advised that the Board of Directors (panel of citizens) are much more interested in investing Park Dept resources into things like golf, sailing and tennis.
I want to get ideas on how best to market DG to this demographic. How/what do I present to gain funding/planning priority over those other things? Any successes doing this I can learn from and leverage?
