NEW FOR 2026

Digital Scoring for Blacklight Mini Golf

Team scoring, live leaderboards and a celebration at every hole — built into the course, not bolted on.

 

No app for guests to download, no phones on the green.  No licensing

Unveiled at IAAPA Expo Europe 2026, London. First live installations are going in now.

One tag per team.

Guests tap a branded key tag at each hole and their whole team appears, previous hole scores included.

 

Nothing to type twice, nothing to install.

The cup keeps count.

Every hole has a lit sensor cup.  When the ball drops, the final stroke is added automatically and the turn closes.

 

No arguments over the scorecard.

Every hole celebrates.

A screen above each hole plays themed content by default and a short celebration for each turn — hole-in-one, birdie, par, bogey, double-bogey, or a good-natured "nice try".

HOW A ROUND WORKS

Guests play the way they always have.  

The game keeps score.

1

Enter the team.

Up to four players, typed at the counter by an attendant.

 

The attendant hands over an RFID key tag.

2

Tag at every hole.

Each hole has a podium with a touch-screen at scanner.

One tap at the scanner recalls the team and their running score.

3

Play

Strokes go in with a single button.  Course elements with sensors add bonuses.

 

The sensor cup adds the last stroke and closes the turn.

4

Celebrate

The hole screen and cup react to the result with light, sound and a themed animation clip.

5

Leaderboard

Displays at the entrance show the day's best rounds, hole by hole.
