Mini Golf in South West

The six courses split between outdoor adventure golf and indoor formats. Congo Falls Adventure Golf in Keynsham is the one reviewers most often call good for all ages: the themed course has water features that balls do end up in, pushchair and wheelchair paths bypass the raft crossing and steeper obstacles, and groups are capped at six players, so larger parties need separate tee times. Bristol Golf Centre at Hambrook has 36 holes across two courses that reviewers describe as distinct and challenging, with a cafe serving pizzas, though it gets busy at peak times and booking online is said to be noticeably cheaper than walking in.

Caddy Gilmore's Adventure Golf Park in Winterbourne also runs two elaborate courses, but reviewers note that the Kong course periodically closes for upgrades or wet weather and that mud is a factor. The Around the World course is described as the more reliable choice and takes around two hours at a relaxed pace, and the verdict points it at mobile children of six and up.

Indoors, Treetop Golf Bristol in Broadmead has two jungle-themed courses that reviewers say hold the attention of children from about five while still challenging adults, plus a free photobooth. Putt Above Mini Golf - Bristol is a different proposition: projection mapping and AR in 60-minute slots, with food and drinks brought to the lane, suited to children of eight and up and a social rather than competitive mood. Ocean Island Adventure Golf in Gloucester pairs UV-lit mini golf with curling and shuffleboard, and the same complex offers go-karting, laser tag and axe throwing for older family members.
