We love a game of Adventure Golf as a family activity and Putters at Urban Playground in Manchester took it to the next level.
Tech-infused Crazy Golf! No chance of cheating in the game now!
These aren’t just normal golf clubs, they are filled with technology. Once you have arrived at Putters and checked in with staff at the desk, you head to a digital touch screen where you scan your barcode ready to play.
The screen explains how to play crazy golf the tech infused way with a video, don’t worry it’s super easy. Enter your team members names, scanning your golf club so that club is now assigned to you. You can even have your photo taken so your face comes up on the score screens when you’re playing!
There are currently two courses of 9 holes to choose from. Circus and Carnival. We chose to play both making it an 18 hole challenge. As you make your way round the course (and you don’t even need to play the course in number order it’s that high tech) the live scoreboards show each players points.
It registers how many shots you took and if you managed to get any of the hidden bonus points. The screens are fun and full of animations and audio making every hole entertaining.
You scan into each hole by placing your club on the signal sign, you can choose to play a normal hole or take a risk and choose to use one of your three “Double Points”, where anything you score on that hole is doubled.
Each course is amazingly designed with holes ranging in difficultly. The aim of the game is still the same. Put your hole in the least amount of hits but with the opportunity to get extra points for alternative routes and its great fun to see what your team mates points are as you go rather than adding them up on that little piece of paper.
