Sip n Putt Case Study · Website Transformation

From address card to full digital experience.

A complete digital transformation for Sip n Putt, an 18-hole mini golf course in New Braunfels, Texas. We took a three-page website and rebuilt it into a nine-page destination site - plus a live drink-ordering app, a front-desk order dashboard, and an online pro shop.

The Challenge

Sip n Putt had a real destination.
Its website was three pages.

Before a pixel changed, we went through the old site page by page. Six things stood between the course and the guests looking for it.

Minimal digital presence

Home, Gallery and Contact - three pages, total. No page described the actual 18-hole course, its rock work or its waterfalls.

No online ordering

Drinks and snacks meant leaving your hole and walking to the counter. There was no way to order from a phone.

No way to buy anything online

Merchandise had no online presence at all - no products, no prices, nowhere to browse before a visit.

No parties or events page

Birthdays, corporate outings and group events had nowhere to be described or booked.

Search visibility gaps

The hidden layer search engines read never said “golf course” or “entertainment venue” - generic labels only.

Not built for AI search

Hours, products and answers weren’t in a form AI assistants can read, so they had little to work with when recommending the course.

The Audit

Before we touched a pixel, we measured.

We saved a copy of the old site and audited it - and we’ll tell you what it did right, too. Here is the honest scorecard, old versus new.

Present - credit where due (WordPress/Yoast defaults)
Rebuilt clean and unique for every page

Every row above was checked on saved copies of both sites, captured the same day. Where the old site already did something right - alt text, page titles, canonical URLs - the table says so.

Beyond The Website

Three things that didn’t exist before.

This wasn’t just a redesign. Sip n Putt got three real operational tools: a drink-ordering app for guests, a live order dashboard for staff, and an online pro shop. None of these existed on the old site in any form. Tap any of them to open the live app.

Each card above opens the real, live app - not a mockup. The front-desk dashboard is currently shown with demo data, since the course has not switched over to the new site yet.

Mobile First

For most guests, the first look
happens on a phone.

Both screens below are the real sites, loaded live at phone width right now - not screenshots.

On the new site, every action above is one tap from the homepage - including ordering a drink and shopping the pro shop, neither of which existed on the old site at all.

The Scope

This wasn’t a new coat of paint.

Here is what was actually delivered inside the 72 hours.

Complete redesign

All 9 pages designed around the Sip n Putt brand - not a template with new colors.

Custom mobile experience

Layouts tuned separately for small screens, where first impressions are usually made.

Drink-ordering app

Guests enter their name and check-in number and order from their phone, mid-round.

Front-desk order dashboard

A live board of every open order, so staff always know what’s coming and going out.

Online pro shop

20 real products, priced and categorized - order online, pick up at the front desk.

Technical SEO foundation

Titles, descriptions, headings, canonicals, sitemap and robots directives on every page.

Local search structure

Business type, address and hours written in the format Google reads.

AI-readable answers

Hours, products and a structured FAQ, plus an llms.txt file for AI assistants.

Built for the Actual Business

One course. Every reason to come back.

The new site gives each part of a visit its own place to sell itself. Tap any of them to compare that page, before and after.

Each card above is a real page on the new site - none of them existed on the old site in any form.

The Math

What would a project like this
normally require?

Published industry pricing puts a comparable website at $9,000 to $20,000+, and a custom ordering app on top of that at $8,000 to $25,000+ for a single location - $17,000 to $45,000+ combined, on timelines of 8 to 12 weeks - before hosting, maintenance or a single future edit is billed on top.
