EUROPE’S biggest mini-golf course spans 107,000 square feet – and it’s based in the UK.
With summer just around the corner, finding the best locations for a day out is key.
And it turns out that Europe‘s largest mini-golf course is located in an English town and boasts an epic Australian theme.
Adlington Golf Centre in Macclesfield is home to the huge Australian Golf Adventure experience, complete with an 18-hole course, a giant waterfall and snake statues.
Located around a 45-minute drive from Manchester, it’s the perfect family day out, described as “a fun, themed competition which involves putting a golf ball around challenging themed holes”.
Players can grab their club and tee off to enjoy each hole’s individual Australian-based decor.
From the Sydney Opera House to countless kangaroos, the course’s design means you don’t have to catch a long flight to get a taste of life Down Under.
The game is played on 1500 square metres of greens based on the impressive 10,000 square metre Cheshire site, while caves, bridges and a 7.5m waterwall add to the thrills.
While players can book before they arrive, spontaneous arrivals are welcome too, with individual tickets priced from £5.
Adult entry to the course will set you back £15 per person and a children’s tickets for 13 years and under is a tenner.
A family of two adults and two kids can go for £44, while spectators and kids aged four and under will cost just £5 each.
It’s even cheaper to book as a group of twelve or more, with adults down to £12, children to £8 and toddlers and spectators for £4.
The on-site café and coffee shops are open all day for refreshments after a long round of golf – serving snacks, hot drinks, hot food and pastries.
For those hoping to get stuck into something more grown-up, the centre also hosts two nine-hole golf courses, a foot golf course and a driving range for a good whack.
There’s good news if you’re riding the padel hype, too. Adlington Golf Centre will soon be home to four brand new, state-of-the-art padel courts, set to open this year.
