A new Boom: Battle Bar with crazy golf and other indoor games is proposed to open in Glasgow.

A new Boom: Battle Bar with crazy golf and other indoor games is proposed to open in Glasgow.

Boom: Battle Bar Glasgow will be the fifth venue from the brand.

As well as an indoor crazy golf course - known as 'Crazier Golf' - Boom: Battle Bar at the St Enoch Centre in Glasgow will no doubt be home to other competitive socialising sports and games such as axe throwing, darts and shuffleboard.

My friend and crazy golf rival Simon Brown played the Boom: Battle Bar 'Crazier Golf' course at the Brewery Quarter venue in Cardiff last November.

The first Boom: Battle Bar opened at the Castle Quarter shopping and entertainment centre in Norwich in July 2020.

There are also plans for Boom: Battle Bars to open in Liverpool and Oxford in 2021.

Visit the Boom: Battle Bar website for more information.

Boom: Battle Bars are a relatively new entrant to the world of competitive socialising and retailtainment. A number of shopping malls, town centres and retail parks are adding minigolf, crazy golf, adventure golf and other experiential entertainment and activity leisure offerings to their sites to attract and retain customers.

Minigolf in Glasgow

A look at the miniature golf courses in Glasgow, Scotland.


Details of places to play minigolf, crazy golf and adventure golf in Glasgow, Scotland

We were last up in Glasgow for the Commonwealth Games in 2014 and a lot has changed on the crazy golf scene since then.


The first course we played in the city on a visit in 2009 was a grass Putting Course set up on a Bowling Green in Victoria Park. That course was the 89th on our travels. We've now been to 947 in total.

On that trip we also found an abandoned Crazy Golf course in another part of the park.

There are two indoor 18-hole courses at Paradise Island Adventure Golf at intu Braehead. They were among some of the first indoor minigolf courses that opened in the UK.

There is a Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf venue in the city centre where you will find two indoor 18-hole courses.

Fore Play Crazy Golf has two 9-hole indoor courses at the venue in the city centre.

Outside the city centre is Jurassic Parrr Adventure Golf, an 18-hole course at Great Western Golf

Jungle Creek Adventure Golf is a 12-hole indoor course located at SoccerWorld Glasgow.

Queen's Park is home to a Pitch & Putt miniature golf course.

There will be a new indoor minigolf course when Ghetto Golf Glasgow opens its doors later this year.

There are also plans for a Treetop Adventure Golf course to open in the city.

We're looking forward to a return visit to Glasgow and playing the courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

If you know of any other minigolf courses in Glasgow do let us know in the comments below.

Ardrossan swings

If playing on the swings was a Commonwealth Games sport I'd have a chance to win at least a Bronze medal I reckon.

On Saturday 19th November 2011 I headed to Glasgow, Scotland.

Glasgow Minigolf Tour & Course Visits 89, 90 & 91

This weekend our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour headed north of the border for the first time, as we visited Glasgow.

Knowing that there are two 18-hole Adventure Golf courses at Paradise Island at Xscape Braehead I had also heard that many of the city's parks are home to Putting courses.

First off at Victoria Park we found a 9-hole Putting course (#89).

Followed by a very derelict and unique 18-hole course that was very unplayable.

After a 36-hole draw with Emily the decider was whether either of us could win at the lucky 19th Hole, and unfortunately for me, Emily did!

After buying a Glasgow postcard I noticed that on the photo of Glasgow Green there looked to be a course next to the monument to Nelson. However, on visiting the park we found no sign of a Minigolf course.

Prior to all of the Minigolf action I fuelled up on Ham & Eggs and also spotted a Eggs & Ham sign!

All in all a very fun minigolfing weekend in a great city.
