An interesting pop-up installation happened in Los Angeles.  "TURF: A Mini-Golf Project" was a temporary mini-golf course that had obstacles symbolizing urban ills, like "territory; housing affordability and environmental issues" There more at neighborhood blog The Eastsider. 

The teams were LA Belzberg Architecture, Ordinary Architecture, Ball-Nogues Studio and Los Angeles Design Festival. That has one wonder what kind of obstacles would be on a pop-up course designed by Las Vegas firms. ​
