Filwood Fantastic Mini Golf Club in Bristol

Information about the Filwood Fantastic Mini Golf Club in Knowle West, Bristol.

A new home-based minigolf club has been created ahead of the building of a brand new minigolf course in Bristol.

Many thanks to our friend, minigolf rival and Midlands Minigolf Club team-mate Kevin Moseley for letting us know about the new minigolf club and course near him in Bristol.

The Filwood Fantastic Mini Golf Club has been set-up by artist Megan Clark-Bagnall to introduce fun and creativity during lockdown.

Members of the online Filwood Fantastic Mini Golf Club are putting together ideas and obstacles in the Filwood Fantastic Mini Golf Club's Facebook Group. The new minigolf course will be opening at Filwood Community Centre later in the year.

It's brilliant to see another example of competitive isolation during the pandemic. We've loved seeing all of the different Putt At Home activities taking place around the world while people haven't been able to get out to play.

We're looking forward to following the progress of the club and playing the course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Check out the Filwood Fantastic Mini Golf Club's Facebook Group and the Filwood Community Centre website for more information.

The Coronavirus (Ham & Egger) Files

A look at minigolf and competitive socialising in the time of coronavirus and social distancing.

I've been blogging about the world of minigolf since 2006 and have seen how the game boomed in the last decade.

The coronavirus pandemic has thrown a spanner in the works into the whole world and as such minigolf courses and competitive socialising venues have taken a hit.

I recently took a look at 'The next normal rules of minigolf' with a dive into how minigolf will be played after lockdown.

The Coronavirus (Ham & Egger) Files

I've collated a number of blog posts from recent months, looking at the rise of competitive socialising, tenpin bowling and minigolf combinations, minigolf in a retail setting, technological innovations through minigolf scoring and loyalty apps, as well as the popularity of mixing art and minigolf.

These pre-pandemic posts are joined by the posts I've written about minigolf, competitive socialising and competitive isolation during the time of Covid-19.

Pre-pandemic

Shopping mall minigolf - The growth of shopping centre crazy golf and retailtainment.

Garden centre minigolf - A look at garden centres with miniature golf courses.

Artainment and the world of minigolf - A look at how minigolf has been used in artistic creations.

Minigolf and tenpin bowling - Where to find minigolf and tenpin bowling entertainment centres.

Minigolf Scoring and Loyalty Apps - A look at minigolf, crazy golf and adventure golf scorecard and loyalty apps.

New minigolf courses - Details of new minigolf, crazy golf and adventure golf courses opening.

During the time of Covid-19

Keeping minigolf rolling - Prior to the coronavirus pandemic the minigolf and wider competitive socialising sectors were booming. Something we're very keen to continue once the world gets back to a semblance of normality.

The Big Mini Golf Bucket List - Ideas to while away the hours, days, weeks and months of lockdown.

Crazy World of Minigolf Tour update - Out-of-Home Putting Paused by Pandemic.

Competitive socialising in isolation - Keeping social and competitive in the new world of physical distancing.

The next normal rules of minigolf - A look at how minigolf will be played after lockdown.

Minigolf in the time of Coronavirus - Posts written about new courses opening or planned, course visits, information and examples of social distancing measures, competitions and tournaments, putt at home activities and more.

Social distancing minigolf - Examples of minigolf in the time of coronavirus and social distancing.

Gator Adventure Golf in Chorley - Blog post about the first course we played during the pandemic.

The retailtainment and minigolf boom - Minigolf is a big part of the retailtainment boom, with courses opening as standalone entertainment activities, or as part of large shoppingtainment leisure offerings in malls, high streets and retail parks.

After the pandemic

Watch this space...

Putting at home

There are also a number of Putt at Home events taking place around the world and it's been brilliant to see how popular home and garden minigolf has been during lockdown.

We're looking forward to launching back into the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour when it's safe to do so
