UV Crazy Golf at One Adventure in Droylsden

A visit to the new indoor Crazy Golf course at One Adventure in Droylsden.

We visited the new indoor glow-in-the-dark Crazy Golf course at One Adventure in Droylsden, Greater Manchester on Saturday 1st December. It's just up the road from us!

The UV Crazy Golf course is a 12-hole layout with a Rock-theme. It's the first full glow-in-the-dark course we've played in the UK.

Rock N Golf at One Adventure became the 855th course we've visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 503rd course we've played.

In our minigolf match-up I managed to sneak a win 39 to 41. Neither of us hit a hole-in-one although Emily came the closest on hole 10.

In addition to the Crazy Golf course you can also do axe throwing, laser tag and a lot more at One Adventure! You can find One Adventure on Floor 2 of Greenside Mill in Droylsden, Manchester M43 7AJ.

I'm a big fan of UV Minigolf so was really pleased to visit, play and win at the One Adventure course

The Chrizy Golf Masters in Manchester

A look back at the Chrizy Golf Masters minigolf competition in Manchester.

The Chrizy Golf course was nicely decked out in Christmas-theming

Six years ago today I headed up to Manchester while my friend and minigolf rival John Moore travelled down from Newcastle to compete in the first - and to-date only - Chrizy Golf Masters tournament.

The pop-up Crazy Golf course was the 313th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Check out the retrospective blog post from last year for more details about my BIG Christmas minigolf win.

Crazy Golf at Ancaster Karting in Grantham

A look at the Crazy Golf course at Ancaster Karting in Grantham, Lincolnshire.

As if more proof were needed that we can find a Crazy Golf course in most places we visit, Emily has stumbled upon a Crazy Golf course while on a weekend away in Grantham, Lincolnshire.

The 9-hole Crazy Golf course is at the Ancaster Karting centre, next to the hotel Emily was staying at. She only spotted it while driving past on her way home!

The course became the 854th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Check out the Ancaster Karting website for more info.

The Crazy Golf layout is one of the Crazy Golf sets manufactured by DK Fibreglass.

A Gluten Free Buffet

A sorry sight indeed.

Yum

I suppose it's better than nothing. Good to see the rolls in separate packaging.

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.

A pair of Galactic Explorers on the course

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.
