Last April we visited Gravity Social in Northampton and won the pub quiz there - the first pub quiz we've played at a crazy golf course!

This was the first Gravity Max location we've been to and it looked amazing. There were so many different activities on offer, with a wide-range of people taking part. The augmented reality tenpin bowling looked cool and it's a version of the game we're yet to play.

Minigolf at Formby Golf Centre

Playing the Adventure Putting Green at Formby Golf Centre.


Mini Golf course at Formby Golf Centre

Heading for a day out in Southport Emily did a quick search online and spotted that Formby Golf Centre had a Minigolf course - so we had to swing by for a game.

There are a lot of obstacles on hole 4

The golf centre calls the course an 'Adventure Putting Green'.

On hole 8

It's an interesting layout and had a real mix of playing surface and obstacles, drawing inspiration from regular / big golf with it's long holes and lack of borders to rebound off, but with artificial Crazy Golf obstacles placed around the course. Including plastic volcanoes on the first and second holes!

In our match-up Emily picked up the win 26-31, although I did ace hole one.

It was £3.50 a round and we received a nice welcome to the course, with the man there saying we could play a few rounds if we liked.

We replayed some of the tricky holes after our scoring round to see if we could get any more holes-in-one.

The 9-hole Mini Golf course at Formby Golf Centre was the 417th played and 714th miniature golf course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006.
