Blockbuster Video Crazy Golf at Golf Fang Nottingham

A look at the Blockbuster Video-themed Crazy Golf hole at Golf Fang Nottingham.

Did you know there are 'Blockbuster Video' themed minigolf holes in the UK?

They're part of the Golf Fang indoor crazy golf courses.

The first one we saw on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was at The Custard Factory in Digbeth, Birmingham back in 2017.

We played the Golf Fang indoor crazy golf course in Nottingham on our recent trip to the city.

We timed our visit perfectly during a wander round the city centre as the doors opened just after we arrived so we were able to be the first players on the course on a Saturday morning - a nice bonus for us as minigolf courses can get very busy, especially on weekends!

Golf Fang crazy golf in Nottingham is a themed, 18-hole indoor minigolf layout where the journey through the 18 holes gives you a wild experience of obstacles, sights and sounds!

One of those holes is a playable Blockbuster Video shop!

Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

The Golf Fang indoor crazy golf course in Nottingham was the 1,088th course visited and 587th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006.

Golf Fang was formerly known as Ghetto Golf, and we've previously been to their locations in Digbeth, Liverpool and Byker.

Video shop memories.

Growing up in the 80s and 90s I've got fond memories of visiting video shops with my family and picking out a film or two (generally one of the Police Academy films, action flicks, or horror movies as I got older!).

I found the preserved remains of a Blockbuster Video store in Fallowfield, Manchester in 2019. And during the coronavirus pandemic my interest in lost brands and retail history was piqued. Since then we've been to several former Blockbuster Video stores around the UK, as well as finding some other old, and some still open, video shops on our travels!

There were some 'interesting' titles in the BARGAIN BIN at Golf Fang!

Visiting Blockbuster Video stores.

At its peak in 2004 there were more than 9,000 Blockbuster Video stores around the world. 500+ of which were in England, Scotland and Wales. Interestingly in Northern Ireland the Xtra-Vision brand was used by the owners in-line with the Republic of Ireland.

The last Blockbuster Video shop ceased trading in the UK in December 2013.

Amazingly we've been able to find traces of the brand at 29 former store locations. This has ranged from QuikDrop boxes to parking signage to full shopfronts!

A big thank you to our friend and minigolf rival Gareth Holmes for sending over these photos of the Mini Golf by UrbanCrazy course at the Horniman Museum & Gardens in London.

He swung by the crazy golf course at the museum a little late in the day and it had just shut so he didn't get a chance to have a round this time.

Golf Fang indoor crazy golf in Nottingham

A blog post about Golf Fang indoor crazy golf in Nottingham.

Playing the Golf Fang indoor minigolf course at the Big Fang Collective venue in Nottingham.

We played the Golf Fang indoor crazy golf course in Nottingham on our recent trip to the city.

The Claw hole

Having a wander round we timed it perfectly as the doors opened just after we arrived so we were able to be the first on the course on a Saturday - a nice bonus as minigolf courses can get VERY busy, especially on weekends!

The first thing we noticed about the Golf Fang venue was how large and spacious it was.

The lighting, look and feel of the place is cool, and as well as the crazy golf course Golf Fang Nottingham also has a bar (and they serve food), large arcade, and options to do karaoke.

Golf Fang crazy golf in Nottingham is a themed, 18-hole indoor minigolf layout where the journey through the 18 holes gives you a wild experience of obstacles, sights and sounds!

There's a lot of pop culture references throughout the course, interactive elements (in addition to the actual putting), and plenty of fun photo opportunities.

There was one hole that - when you see it - was always going to be my favourite to see, however my favourite hole to play was the interactive rave hole!

Redrum!

Results of our game.

Unfortunately the scorecard app at the course crashed on the seventh hole, so we were unable to record the scores of our minigolf match.

We both tied for second in our game

A real shame there wasn't a hardcopy scorecard too - and it's also annoying as it's the first time when we've played a course that is app-only that we've also not kept score on a piece of paper too, just in case. Bah!
