Why Freshers Are Loving Mini Golf

Freshers' Week is about stepping outside your comfort zone and making new connections. But navigating the social scene can be daunting. Mini golf is the ultimate icebreaker, offering a fun and inclusive activity everyone can enjoy.

Break the Ice, Make New Friends

Unlike some activities that require specific skills or knowledge, mini golf is a level playing field where everyone can participate, regardless of background or interests. Whether you're a sports enthusiast, a bookworm, or a budding artist, the simple joy of putting a ball through a wacky obstacle course is something everyone can get behind.

The relaxed and playful atmosphere of mini golf creates the perfect environment for socialising. There's no pressure to impress or perform, just a chance to let loose, laugh, and connect with your fellow freshers in a casual setting. The game's interactive nature also sparks conversations and laughter, making it easy to break the ice and build friendships. You'll find yourself chatting about shared experiences, discovering common interests, and forging connections that could last a lifetime.

Ditch the Pre-Drinks, Embrace the Fun

While Freshers' Week is often associated with alcohol-fuelled events, mini golf offers a refreshing alternative for those seeking a sober social experience. You can still have a blast, make new friends, and create lasting memories without relying on alcohol.

Instead of waking up with a pounding headache and a fuzzy memory of the night before, you'll have a head full of joyful moments and new connections. Mini golf allows you to focus on the fun, the laughter, and the shared experience, creating a positive and memorable start to your university journey.

Affordable & Accessible

Let's remember the all-important student budget! Mini golf is a cost-effective option that won't break the bank. You can enjoy hours of entertainment without sacrificing your next textbook purchase or takeaway pizza.

Beyond the Putting Green

Mini golf isn't just about fun and games; it also offers a welcome break from the stresses of Freshers' Week. The light exercise and playful challenges can help reduce stress and anxiety, giving you a much-needed mental break from the pressures of settling into university life. It's a chance to clear your head, recharge your batteries, and return to your studies feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world.

Grab your putters and head to the mini golf course if you're ready to ditch the pre-drinks and embrace a fresher, fun, and memorable experience. It's time to ace those putts, forge new friendships, and create a legendary start to your university adventure!

Ready to embark on a mini golf adventure that will have your Freshers' year buzzing with excitement? Follow these tips to plan an outing that's as wild and wonderful as the rainforest itself:

Gather Your Crew

The more, the merrier! Invite your flatmates, course mates, or members of your favourite societies. Mini golf is a fantastic way to break the ice, bond with new friends, and create community. The bigger the group, the louder the laughter and the more memorable the experience.

Whether you're looking for a casual round of mini golf or a full-blown tournament, Treetop Golf has you covered. Set up a friendly competition with prizes for the winners, or simply enjoy a relaxed evening of putting and socialising. The choice is yours!

Make it Memorable

Embrace the jungle theme and dress the part! Encourage your friends to wear their wildest animal prints, safari hats, or tropical-themed accessories. It's a chance to unleash your creativity and add a playful touch to your mini golf adventure.

Remember to capture all the fun with photos and videos. Strike a pose with the quirky characters, document your epic putts, and share your jungle escapades on social media. These memories will last a lifetime and remind you of the amazing friendships you've forged during Freshers' year.
