Welcome to Treetop Golf

The British Summer rain. Will it ever stop? Just when you've unpacked your picnic basket and slathered on the sun cream, the heavens open, unleashing a symphony of pitter-patters and sending everyone scrambling for cover. Grey skies blanket the country, turning five minutes of sunny optimism into a soggy lament… it’s probably time to turn the BBQ off. Finding fun when the great outdoors becomes a no-go zone can feel like searching for a lost golf ball in the dense jungle undergrowth - you’ve got your work cut out!

But fear not, fellow adventurers! When the rain clouds gather, a tropical haven awaits, ready to whisk you away to sunnier climes (and drier putting greens). Welcome to Treetop Golf, your indoor rainforest escape where the rain is but a distant whisper and the spirit of adventure thrives, no matter the weather.

Today, we navigate the challenges of a rainy British summer, armed with tips, tricks, and a healthy dose of jungle-inspired optimism. We'll uncover a treasure trove of rainy-day fun, share the secrets of transforming a downpour into a delightful adventure, and reveal how mini golf at Treetop Golf can be your ultimate refuge when the weather throws a tantrum. Leave your raincoat at the door, pick up your putter, and let's swing into action!

Where laughter echoes through the jungle canopy

Mini Golf: The Rainy Day Delight

Soggy sandwiches, cancelled picnics, and the constant pitter-patter of raindrops on your windowpane – the rainy British summer can dampen even the most adventurous spirit. When the outdoors is off limits, a few special locations around the UK await you and will never wash your plans away.

That’s right; we’re talking about our indoor mini golf courses–the vibrant rainforest refuge where the rain can't reach. Our indoor courses are a tropical delight, with lush foliage, exotic sounds, and quirky challenges that transport you to a world far removed from the dreary drizzle outside.

Unlike outdoor activities that surrender to the whims of the weather, Treetop Golf offers a guaranteed good time, rain or shine. Navigate the twists and turns of the Tropical Trail, surrounded by vibrant flora and exotic birds chirping. Or, delve into the mysterious depths of the Ancient Explorer course, where ancient ruins and stone serpents await your intrepid putts. No soggy shoes or dampened spirits here!

But Treetop Golf is more than just a shelter from the storm. It's a social hub where laughter echoes through the jungle canopy, and connections are forged over good old-fashioned competition. Whether battling it out with mates, bonding with family, or making new friends, mini-golf provides the perfect backdrop for great memories and camaraderie.

Did you know that selfies look even better in the jungle? The vibrant colours and quirky characters of Treetop Golf make for picture-perfect moments, even when the weather outside is anything but. Snap a selfie with the Fabulous Sacred Mask, strike a pose with the Maraca Mambas, or capture the triumphant glint in your eye (and your friend’s jealousy!) after sinking a hole-in-one. We’ve even got a photobooth waiting for you when you emerge from the jungle victorious!

When the rain-induced chills set in, the Thirsty Toucan and Jungle Buzz Café offer a warm welcome. Sip on steaming hot cocoa, indulge in a comforting sweet treat, or simply relax in the cosy atmosphere, letting the tropical vibes wash away any lingering gloom - but more on that in a moment!
