Mini Golf in Merseyside

Four options, and they split into three quite different kinds of outing. Junkyard Golf Club | Crazy Golf Liverpool and One Under Liverpool are indoor venues built around themed courses and drink packages. Otterspool adventure Liverpool is a wider attraction where the golf is one activity among many. Mini Golf Adventures in Upton is a UV-lit course where the glow effects and face painting are the main draw.

Junkyard runs three nine-hole courses, which the venue describes as Gary, Pablo and Bozo, and it presents itself as a night out with cocktails and neon rather than a quiet round. Our verdict puts it best for children aged twelve and up and for teen groups; under-18s are only admitted at restricted times, so check the policy before you go, and family tickets apply to daytime visits before the evening crowd. Groups of six or fewer can walk in, larger groups should book a slot. One Under suits teens and tweens who like creative theming: each of its two courses is nine holes and finishes quickly, so plan on darts or the arcade afterwards. Reviewers praise the staff and the design but note equipment maintenance is variable, and booking both courses online is noticeably cheaper than paying on the day.

Otterspool is the pick for ages 4 to 14 if you want a whole day for one entry price: petting farm and bouncing pillows for the younger ones, go-karts and mini golf for older kids, plus seasonal shows. Under-13s must stay with an adult on the golf course, outside food is not permitted, and parking gets tight in school holidays. Mini Golf Adventures suits ages 6 and up, with two themed courses across 18 holes; adults tend to rate it as highly as the children, though its 4.9 rating comes from a small sample of 33 reviews.
