Mini Golf in Nottingham

A look at Mini Golf courses in Nottingham.

Mini Golf (also known as Crazy Golf and Adventure Golf) is an incredibly popular leisure and sporting activity for all ages, and we're seeing an exciting boom in new courses opening up across the UK.

While minigolf was traditionally a seaside summer pastime in the UK, the last decade or so has seen its growth into more urban settings, with many venues now catering to a late night audience. It can be the perfect activity for groups of friends, families, and young and old alike. The game continues to evolve and captivate players all year round.

Where to play Mini Golf  in and around Nottingham.

If you're looking for mini golf, crazy golf and adventure golf courses to play in Nottingham there are a variety of courses to visit, ranging from traditional crazy golf to indoor minigolf to new adventure golf layouts.

Here's a list of the Mini Golf courses we know of in Nottingham (and the surrounding area):

Minigolfing in Nottingham on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We have played several courses in Nottingham on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, and have competed in a number of national and club tournaments in the city too.

We're looking forward to a return visit to Nottingham to see what's new.

Do you know of other Mini Golf courses in Nottingham?

Please do get in touch and let us know of any other mini golf, crazy golf, adventure golf, pitch & putt, or putting layouts we don't yet know about in the area.

Planning to visit a Mini Golf course - check ahead of time.

Where possible please do check that the course is still there and open before travelling to it. The online presence of courses is improving, and the way businesses market themselves is always evolving, so it's becoming somewhat easier to find the opening and closing times of courses. That said, we've spent the last two decades attempting to play as many courses as possible, and even we've ended up finding courses to be derelict, abandoned or unplayable when we've arrived!

Happy 15th birthday to the Crazy Golf Museum

The Crazy Golf Museum is 15 years old today.

Many happy returns to the Crazy Golf Museum as it marks its 15th birthday today.

I set-up the museum with Crazy Golf legend Tim 'Ace Man' Davies back on the 15th July 2010.

Since then we've continued to fill the virtual online museum to make it a treasure trove and archive for all things related to minigolf, crazy golf, adventure golf, miniature golf, Putt Putt, and putting.

It's certainly been a very interesting 15 years!

A BIG thank you to everyone who has shared their minigolfing memories, crazy golf items and adventure golf updates over the years. We're looking forward to continuing our promotion of the game for many more years to come.

Visit the Crazy Golf Museum's website, like the Page and join the Group on Facebook, check it out on X, LinkedIn, and see Instagram for information, photos, items, ephemera, stories, videos, postcards, games and more...

Birdie Barn Putting Range opening on Mersea Island in Essex

A new pop-up indoor minigolf venue is opening on Mersea Island in Essex this summer.

Birdie Barn Putting Range is opening at the West Mersea Marine Boatyard on Thursday 24th July.

Looking on the Birdie Barn Putting Range Facebook Page the course looks very different to your normal minigolf (if there's such a thing as 'normal' in crazy golf!).

Each of the holes looks to be is in it's own little enclosed bay, with putters tied to the range. Each of the holes has a themed obstacle such as pinball, skee ball, roulette, a ferris wheel, pong and more!

Mini Golf at King Pins at the Trafford Palazzo in Manchester

Playing Mini Golf at King Pins at the Trafford Palazzo.

Having a round of indoor Mini Golf at King Pins at the Trafford Palazzo.

We recently attended the King Pins Summer Mixer Networking event at King Pins at the Trafford Palazzo in Manchester where we were welcome to play a selection of games for free. After some competitive games of tenpin bowling and ice-free curling against our fellow guests, I rounded off the excellent event with a game of minigolf on the 9-hole indoor course.

The Mini Golf at King Pins at the Trafford Palazzo was the 585th course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and 1,072nd visited overall since 2006.

In my round I shot a score of 16, with three holes-in-one and one three.

On the tee, or oche, of the last hole

Games at King Pins in the Trafford Palazzo.

As well as the mini golf course, King Pins at the Trafford Palazzo is home to tenpin bowling, duck pin bowling, ice-free curling, karaoke, shuffleboard, American pool, and arcade games.

Visiting King Pins.

If you haven't yet been, I recommend a visit to King Pins for yourself. Even if you're not playing any games it's a chilled out spot to get a drink and relax for a while during a shopping trip at the Palazzo and Trafford Centre.

As well as the Trafford Palazzo venue in Manchester, you can find King Pins locations at the Arndale Centre in Manchester, Bristol and Glasgow. The new Leeds location opens on the 15th August, and a Belfast King Pins is opening soon!

Lost minigolf courses - Crazy Golf on Exeter Road in Bournemouth, Dorset

There's an abandoned minigolf course on Bournemouth's Exeter Road.

A look at the derelict minigolf course on Exeter Road in Bournemouth, Dorset.

We found a minigolf course in Bournemouth on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in June 2009 and when we revisited in July 2013 it was still there. On Emily's recent trips to the seaside town in December 2024 and this month she found it was still in place, but in a derelict state, with many of the holes lost.

The former 18-hole course is on Exeter Road and next to the café/restaurant.

The course is very similar in design to the busy course that can be found over the road in the Lower Gardens and the championship course in the Boscombe Chine Gardens, though in an entirely unplayable state.

Happy National 7-Eleven Day

It's National 7-Eleven Day.

Minigolfing in London on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We've played several courses in and around London on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour over the years, and have competed in a number of tournaments in the city too.

Street Golf Felixstowe at Manning's Amusements

The new Street Golf course at Manning's Amusements in Felixstowe, Suffolk is opening soon.

Street Golf Felixstowe is opening at Manning's Amusements in the seaside town and it is hoped to be completed and open this month.

We were in Felixstowe last month and swung by Manning's Amusements and Beach Street. The old entrance to the indoor course had been sealed off, with a new entrance to the course created at the rear of the building

Street Golf Felixstowe.

Felixstowe will be home to two new 9-hole indoor Crazy Golf courses as Street Golf Felixstowe opens inside Manning's Amusements at Beach Street in the Suffolk seaside town.

Construction work is underway at the site of the former Magical Golf FX course.

We're looking forward to checking out the new Street Golf layouts when they open.

Playing minigolf at Manning's Amusements.

We've played minigolf at Manning's Amusements in Felixstowe a lot over the years. The first time we played there was back on the 19th November 2006 when it became the fifth course we ever visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. It was also the first indoor minigolf course we played.

Back then it was one of only two indoor minigolf courses in the whole of the UK!

We've now been to 1,083 courses (1,022 in the British Isles) and there are a lot more indoor minigolf venues than there were in the mid-noughties.

The Golf FX course at Manning's Amusements was a brilliant layout, with lots of optical illusions and practical effects. It was a unique course and ahead of its time with its sound and light effects. 19 years later and many many many courses later, very few we have been to have come close to capturing the fun of it.

Since our first visit to Manning's Amusements the course had a several upgrades, refurbishments and name changes - it was called 'Golf FX' when we first played and has been known as 'Magical Golf', 'Magical Golf FX' and 'Harry Putter and the Magical Crazy Golf'!

The green on the old first hole is still the only revolving one we've seen on our travels! It'll be interesting to see how the new course at Manning's evolves...

Hopefully the two new Street Golf courses being built at Manning's Amusements are as good as, or better than, the course they will be replacing.

Updates at Manning's Amusements and Beach Street in Felixstowe.

Over the last few years the team at Manning's have transformed the amusements and leisure area to incorporate Beach Street - a container yard for dining, drinking and entertainment.

You can get lovely sea views from some of the seating and we enjoyed meeting friends for tapas there on our last visit to Felixstowe. It was also fun having a go on some of the new arcade games.

Crazy Pool at Roxy Ball Room Deansgate in Manchester

There's a new Crazy Pool course at the Roxy Ball Room Deansgate venue in Manchester.

The new Crazy Pool layout replaces the Crazy Golf course on the second floor of Roxy Ball Room Deansgate.

The new Crazy Pool course has been added to the venue as part of a big refurbishment.

Luckily we played the Roxy Golf course at Roxy Ball Room Deansgate on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. The indoor Crazy Golf course was the 810th visited on our travels back in 2018. When we first visited it was an 18-hole course, while on a return in October 2024 it was a 12-hole layout.

Hole 12 of the Roxy Golf course at Roxy Ball Room Deansgate in Manchester in 2018

It'll be interesting to see the changes, and how the Crazy Pool course plays compared to the other we've played at the Manchester Arndale and Merrion Street Leeds locations.

Playing Crazy Pool at Roxy Ball Room Merrion Street in Leeds earlier this year

Roxy Ball Rooms are home to a range of competitive socialising activities, and the refurbishment at Roxy Ball Room Deansgate sees new karaoke rooms, duck pin bowling, shooting pods, tech darts, and a brand new bar.

We really enjoyed the venue - especially on a big New Years Eve out there a few years ago! It'll be interesting to see what the new look is like.
