Minigolf scoring and loyalty apps

A look at minigolf, crazy golf and adventure golf scorecard and loyalty apps.


Minigolf scoring and loyalty apps

On our travels to 956 miniature golf courses we've seen a number of venues that have introduced a mobile app to compliment or replace the traditional paper scorecard. Some of these apps are really good and help to enhance the experience.


The minigolf apps we've found offer a range of scoring functions, loyalty and reward schemes, games, reviews, contests, information and tips.


Relatively new minigolf venues including Puttshack and Puttstars use electronic scoring systems with micro-chipped balls, or electronic score-pads and screens at the course.

There are a number of minigolf, crazy golf and adventure golf apps available on Android and iPhone (all apps are for UK courses unless otherwise stated):


Do you know of any other minigolf apps, games or scoring systems? What do you think of them? Do you use them when you visit a course? Do you have a favourite? Let me know in the comments below.

New app at Lost World Adventure Golf in Hemsby, Norfolk

The Lost World Adventure Golf course in Hemsby has a new app.


The team at the Lost World Adventure Golf in Hemsby, Norfolk have introduced a new mobile scoring and loyalty app for the 9-hole course. It's available to download for free on Android and iPhone.

It looks very nice indeed and gives maps for each of the holes, details of the rules, a selfie function and more.

The loyalty points system is a nice touch too and is a continuation of the paper-based loyalty cards available at the course.

When you sign up to the app you automatically receive 300 points onto your card.

The Lost World Adventure Golf in Hemsby was the 88th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in May 2009. It's still one of our favourites and we have fond memories of competing in tournaments there.

We can't wait to get back for another round there in the future. I've downloaded the app ready to play. I'll be digging out our previous rounds to load into the History element of the app which allows you to view all your past games.

National App Day

Happy National App Day.


Today is National App Day.


On our travels to more than 900 miniature golf courses we've seen a few places that have introduced an app to compliment or replace the traditional paper scorecard. Some of these apps are really good and help to enhance the experience.


The apps we've found offer a range of scoring functions, loyalty and reward schemes, games, reviews, contests, information and tips.

There's certainly a real mixed bag of apps available on Android and iPhone.
