About fifteen years ago, over a period of two years, we were delighted to design and build two eighteen hole miniature golf courses in Parksville, British Columbia called Riptide Lagoon. The story we told was about an early aviation explorer who flew a little too close to the ground and crashed his plane into a giant tree. He was stranded but after a closer look at the area he decided he loved it there and never left. Through the years a settlement grew with fishing and logging as the main industries. ‘Relics’ from that period are scattered throughout the golf courses, creating fun interactions for the many guests that continue to enjoy the golf to this day.
