A new attraction is set to start construction in Palm Coast’s town center area, the city announced Tuesday. Serenity Falls Mini Golf will be going up across the street from the city’s Epic Theatres location.
The project will likely come as music to the ears of a growing contingency of residents clamoring for commercial development over residential. As of now Flagler County has no destination for mini golf, despite having multiple full-size golf courses and a lively population who enjoy the sport. The closest mini golf attractions are in Volusia County.
“This is exactly the kind of project we’ve envisioned for Town Center,” said Palm Coast Vice Mayor Theresa Carli Pontieri. “It’s something for all generations to enjoy and an example of how local entrepreneurship and thoughtful planning are coming together to bring our community’s vision to life. Seeing projects like Serenity Falls Mini Golf take shape shows that the future we’ve been working toward in Palm Coast is becoming a reality.”
An announcement from the Palm Coast city government said the project will be ‘an exciting, high-tech 18-hold miniature golf course’. Its owner, Roland Delbois, is a Palm Coast resident. Construction will be carried out by Miniature Golf Solutions. The decor will be ‘tropical’ and ‘park-like’, the city says, with natural landscaping, waterfalls, and architecture inspired by Key West.
When construction is complete and Serenity Falls is open to the public, it’ll operate from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm. Amenities will include a concessions stand offering snacks, beer, and wine. There are plans for a 30 by 20 foot pavilion available for birthday parties, graduations, and other events.
The city also clarified that Serenity Falls will be ADA accessible, and will have a parking lot plus additional street parking nearby. Its position next to the county’s only movie theater provides a new option for a full day of recreation within Palm Coast’s city limits. For a city which frequently gets ‘nothing to do’ complaints among its younger crowd, that’s a long-awaited recreation breakthrough.
This will be a nice addition to Town Center. Bravo!
Until a few of the younger middle age teenagers mess it up by destroying it and ruining it for everyone else. I hope when a teenager damages any part of the area, and they get caught, They get arrested for destruction of private property and the parent(s) or guardian has to pay for the damages and doesn’t give them a slap on the wrist.
Can’t wait to try it out when it opens. Go early folks before these bundle of joys get a hold of it.
