THE ELEVATED PARKING GARAGE GREEN: Getting up onto the parking garage is the first step in learning how to play Parking Garage Golf. We found this field and garage as we were scouting our Golf Channel Commercial. Once we walked around it, we knew we had to try some cool shots.

YOUR ALMOST-GOLF COURSE DESIGN: As we looked at this playing field, track, grand stands and parking garage, it became clear that the garage was a showcase. We'd turn the track into both water hazard on one side of the course and an actual fairway on the other. But hitting up onto and off of the parking structure was key to creating an eye popping and very exciting almost-Golf course.

COURSE DESIGN INTEGRATION: Integrating the garage into your course to create impact wasn't easy. We chose to hit the 'between the uprights' shot for the course. (but they were replacing them the day we came in to shoot) We wanted to create the most dramatic entrance to the parking garage section of this course. So why not through the uprights.

SELECTING THE RIGHT PUTTING GREENS: Though we have a killer Astroturf putting green we've used at events like the USC Open and the LMU Tri-Delta Open last year, this course required a green that was fast to install and easy to hit. When and if we can use this location to do a full tournament, we will bring our best greens, but simple Home Depot indoor/outdoor turf does pretty well.

JUDGING THE DISTANCE: Key to creating such a dramatically elevated green is club selection and distance. Since you are choosing one club for the competition or golf tournament, you need to spec out how far you can hit shots to their apex and not total distance. Here we are just on the edge with a 7 iron. Any further and most players would not be able to make to the top level of the garage.
