Netflix House Mini-Golf at the King of Prussia Mall in Philadelphia, USA

Netflix House will be home to a mini-golf course.

There will be a mini-golf course at the new Netflix House at the King of Prussia Mall in Philadelphia, USA.

The first of three planned Netflix House locations will have a mini-golf course inside it.

The new Netflix House at the King of Prussia Mall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA opens on Wednesday 12th November 2025.

About Netflix House.

Netflix House is a new entertainment concept from the streaming service, with the physical locations offering people the chance to play and experience branded activities based on TV and film properties.

The first two Netflix House locations are planned for Philadelphia and Dallas in 2025, with a third venue opening in Las Vegas in 2027.

Netflix House is the latest branded entertainment centre that aims to bring together multiple games and activities under one roof.

Top 9 mini-golf at Netflix House

The Netflix House mini-golf at the King of Prussia Mall in Philadelphia will be a high-tech course called "Top 9" and feature nine holes inspired by fan-favourite stories.

One of those hole designs has been announced to be WWE Raw-themed!

Other Netflix shows to be featured on the indoor mini-golf course at Netflix House include Stranger Things, Bridgerton and Squid Game.

It'll be interesting to see what the location looks like and how the mini-golf course plays. I wonder if there are future plans to roll-out Netflix Houses in other countries too...?

Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We're yet to play one of 501 Fun's type of interactive mini golf games on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, so it's good to note there's one at Boom Battle Bar in Reading. We wonder where else they'll appear...

Crazier Golf and Crazier Nolf at Boom Battle Bars.

We've visited several Boom Battle Bars on our minigolfing adventures (most recently in Ipswich) and a number of them are home to Crazier Golf and Crazier Nolf courses.

Tech Darts at Roxy Ball Room Deansgate in Manchester

A look at the Tech Darts games at Roxy Ball Room Deansgate in Manchester.

We're big fans of darts - both playing and watching - and it's nice to see the growth in the game and more places to play it.

One of the types of darts that is really booming at the moment is digital darts - played on a normal dartboard, but with integrated cameras and tracking of the darts and scores that enable different gameplay to standard 301-gameplay.

The Karaoke Pods at Roxy Ball Room contain Tech Darts in them too!

We attended the venue relaunch of Roxy Ball Room Deansgate in Manchester earlier this week and it was cool to get a full tour and play some games for free.

Unfortunately we didn't manage to get on the oche for some Tech Darts on this occasion, however we will be back as we noticed that one of the mini-games available on Roxy's Tech Darts is MINIGOLF!

This looks like a really cool and different way to 'putt' around a minigolf course!

Playing Crazy Pool at Roxy Ball Room Deansgate in Manchester.

While we didn't get to play Tech Darts at Roxy Ball Room, we did have a game of Crazy Pool, as well as Shuffleboard, and the Shooting Range.

Guildford Spectrum, Guildford Lido and Ash Manor Sports Centre will be coming under new management this year as part of the management and delivery of services at a range of leisure facilities in Guildford, Surrey.

The new operators - Freedom Leisure - have proposed the introduction of a new Puttify mini golf course as part of their investment plans.

Where can you find Puttify courses

There are currently Puttify mini golf courses at Bath Sports and Leisure Centre and Center Parcs Woburn Forest.

We've not been to Bath in a long-time, we'll have to swing by the leisure centre to check out the Puttify course next time we're there.

Minigolf at Guildford Lido

We've visited Guildford several times on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour over the years. One of the crazy golf courses we've visited, but never been able to play, is the outdoor one at Guildford Lido.

The Minigolf course at Guildford Lido in September 2008

With the new operators looking to improve the venues and extend the opening hours, it'll be interesting to see if the outdoor minigolf course at Guildford Lido stays, and whether it'll be more accessible than it has been in the past.

TallyHo Golf minigolf scorecard app

Finding out more about the TallyHo Golf minigolf scorecard app.

We're always looking for new things and innovations in the world of minigolf and recently found out about the TallyHo Golf minigolf app.

We've blogged about the minigolf apps we've found on our minigolf adventures over the years, and we've used some of them to keep scores on our games and record loyalty points.

A TallyHo Golf scorecard

The TallyHo Golf minigolf app is free to download and you can use it straight away as a Guest, or you can create a username for a fuller experience.

The home screen

Speaking with Vito Leone, the man behind the TallyHo Golf minigolf app, he provided us with further information as well as some imagery from the app which you can see throughout this post.

A game card

Vito tells us that the benefits for miniature golf courses include:

• Saving on paper scorecards.
• Custom branding on the app's interactive map page to stand out from the competition.
• Hole-by-hole clickable advertising and detailed stat tracking.
• Eliminating the need to distribute pencils and paper around the course.
• Easily creating and managing minigolf tournaments and leagues.

And for players there is:

• No more dealing with awkward-sized paper scorecards and pencils during games.
• Automatic score calculation so you can just play and enjoy the round.
• Access to course-specific and local deals through sponsorships.
• The ability to save games to revisit memories any time.
• The feature to track lifetime stats and performance.
• Connecting with friends and keep score live across multiple devices.

In addition to the electronic scorecard function, the TallyHo Golf app allows users to record and track their scores over time - noting and analysing improvements and progress at courses. Another feature is to share stats and compete with friends (and rivals) who are also using the app.

A game example screen

As our never-ending Crazy World of Minigolf Tour involves a lot of research into locations of courses, another feature of the app was interesting to see, as with the location enabled on your device you can locate courses near to you.

Course locator

As keen competitors it's interesting to see tournaments listed in the app too.

A final score screen

Check out the TallyHo Golf website for more information and links to download the free app for Android and iOS.
