In case you needed another reason to explore Echo Park area, a pop-up miniature golf course is debuting this Saturday evening at the corner of Echo Park Ave. and Park Ave.

Titled, TURF: A Mini-Golf Project, this course incorporates nine designs by architects and artists into nine holes. According to Materials & Applications, the non-profit that created TURF, each obstacle investigates topics on the “contemporary Los Angeles condition” such as drought, densification, renewable technology and L.A.’s history of iconic architecture.

In order to create this unique, L.A.-inspired course, designers had to submit their work via the TURF competition.
The result? A playful obstacle course that is hilariously meta. But, don’t be fooled. We expect this put-put course to be a worthy opponent for any mini golfer.
