Mr Mulligan's Space Golf in Newcastle

A visit to Mr Mulligan's Space Golf course in Newcastle.

On the 21st September last year (Miniature Golf Day) we swung by Mr Mulligan's Space Golf course in Newcastle to play the three new courses at the indoor minigolf venue.

There are three 9-hole courses on the adventure through Mr Mulligan's Space Golf, starting at the Inventors Hangar, then moving through the Cosmic Storm onto the Lunar Crash.

The theming at the course is really well done, with my favourite section being the Moon.

We've played a number of the Mr Mulligans Adventure Golf courses on our travels, with the three layouts becoming the 841st, 842nd and 843rd visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. They were the 496th, 497th and 498th courses we've played.

There are two more new Mr Mulligan's courses now open in Bournemouth and Birmingham. They join the existing courses in Castleford, Cheltenham, Milton Keynes, Nottingham, Sidcup, Stevenage, Tonbridge and Woking.

Mr Mulligans Adventure Golf to open in Birmingham

New Mr Mulligans Adventure Golf course opening in Birmingham.

The new Mr Mulligans Adventure Golf venue opening in Birmingham will welcome its first customers before Christmas.

Mr Mulligans Birmingham course will follow in the footsteps of the Newcastle Space Golf venue

Work is nearing completion on the new indoor Adventure Golf centre at Broadway Plaza in Birmingham. Mr Mulligans Space Golf will feature three nine-hole courses with a Martian theme, as well as a bar and restaurant.

Mr Mulligans Space Golf in Birmingham will be the 12th venue from the team at Mr Mulligans. The 11th course in Bournemouth and more are to follow!

About to land an ace

We've played a number of the Mr Mulligans Adventure Golf courses, most recently at the Space Golf course in Newcastle. Those three layouts were the 841st, 842nd and 843rd visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Gravitee Adventure Golf in Oxford

A visit to Gravitee Adventure Golf at the Ozone Leisure Park in Oxford.

Gravitee Adventure Golf in Oxford

We were recently back in my home town of Abingdon-on-Thames for a special Bun Throwing event and while down south took the opportunity to swing by the new Gravitee Adventure Golf courses at the Ozone Leisure Park next to the Kassam Stadium in Oxford.

Gravitee Adventure Golf is home to two 18-hole courses - the Space Odyssey and the Galactic Explorers - and they became the 852nd and 853rd visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Gravitee Adventure Golf is the sister course of The Golfing Hole in Swindon. We had a brilliant time playing that layout back in January 2015.

The new Gravitee Adventure Golf layouts are superb and we had two fun rounds there.

A very smaller crater to putt through

It was the first time in over twenty years that I had a game of minigolf with my parents! It's amazing to think that Emily and I have visited so many courses in the last twelve years, but not had a game during our travels.

The matches were very close, with my dad Chris taking an early lead on the Space Odyssey course, before a disastrous seven on the tenth hole put a dent in his hopes of winning.

Emily took the victory on the Space Odyssey layout with a round of 47. I shot a 49, Chris a 53 and my mum Mary carded a 56. Emily and my dad were the only players to hit a hole-in-one, both acing the 18th.

Moving on to the Galactic Explorers course and Emily took a fine win with a score of 42. I was second again with a round of 46, while my mum and dad both shot rounds of 50.

Almost a hole-in-one by what looks like Zaphod Beeblebrox!

Putting on the Galactic Explorers course at Gravitee Golf

We really enjoyed our competitive and fun rounds on the Gravitee Golf courses and had a drink in the bar area to cool off after the games. I also had a game of Air Hockey against my dad, which I won 7-4.

The theming at the indoor Adventure Golf venue is fantastic. The courses were built by the team at HM Adventure Golf. The Martian landscape on the Galactic Explorers course is incredibly well done, while the UV glow-in-the-dark section of the Space Odyssey course is the best I've seen on my travels.

Galactic Golf in Halifax

A new indoor Crazy Golf course recently opened in Halifax - Galactic Golf.

Galactic Golf has two space themed 18-hole courses

Check out the Galactic Golf website for more info.

It's another course we'll have to visit on our never-ending quest to visit every minigolf course in the UK. When we began in 2006 there were 600 courses. To date we've visited 853, including 38 courses overseas.

Luckily, it's not a million miles from us and we'll have to swing by when we're next in the area.

New Adventure Golf courses opening in Birmingham and Bournemouth

Two new Mr Mulligan's Adventure Golf courses will soon be opening up in Birmingham and Bournemouth.

Both new locations will contain three indoor Adventure Golf courses in the Mr Mulligan's Space Golf theme.

Check out the Mr Mulligan's Adventure Golf website for more details.

We're looking forward to playing at the new Mr Mulligan's Adventure Golf venues to add to our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We've played a number of Mr Mulligan's Adventure Golf courses on our travels, most recently in Cheltenham.

Mr Mulligan's Space Golf opening in Newcastle

Mr Mulligan's Space Golf set to touch down in Newcastle.

The countdown is on for the latest of Mr Mulligan's Adventure Golf courses to launch on Newgate Street in Newcastle in the New Year. The space-themed layout is the first of it's kind from the team behind the Mr Mulligan courses - with other venues focussed on pirates, dinosaurs and jungles.

You'll be unlikely to find any dinosaurs - like this one in Cheltenham - at the new Mr Mulligan course in Newcastle

The Newcastle Space Golf venue will have three 9-hole indoor Adventure Golf courses, as well as a restaurant and late-night bar.

We've visited and played most of the Mr Mulligan's Adventure Golf courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, most recently at the new Lost World indoor Adventure Golf course in Cheltenham.

Other Mr Mulligan's venues can be found at Castleford, Milton Keynes, Nottingham, Woking, Sidcup, Tonbridge and Stevenage. There are also plans for more new sites in the coming year!

Check out the Mr Mulligan's Adventure Golf website and Newcastle course Facebook Page for more information and updates on the launch.
