Golf

Nottinghamshire is home to a host of fantastic golf courses and miniature golf facilities.

With the likes of golf heroes Lee Westwood and Greg Owen calling Nottinghamshire their home, it would only be right for Nottingham and Nottinghamshire to house a host of fantastic golf courses and miniature golf facilities.

If you’re an avid golfer, be sure to check out Southwell Golf Club – founded in 1993 on the estate of the one and only Southwell Racecourse. The club is renowned for its welcoming and friendly atmosphere, making it the perfect place for both experienced golfers as well as newbies trying out the sport. The Par 70 and 18-hole course stretches 5773 yards wide, and not unimportantly, after a good game you can relax and indulge on their excellent food and drink offer.

Venture into the county and discover Beeston Fields, which is one of Nottingham's oldest golf courses, designed in 1923 by Tom Williamson. This superb Par 71 parkland course is a challenging test for golfers on all levels. The course is always kept in superb condition and has received many plaudits. The greens are a delight to putt on but will fool many with their subtle borrows.

Another gem nestled in the beautiful surrounding of Wollaton Hall and Park is the Wollaton Park Golf Club. It provides an opportunity for golfers of all playing standards to enjoy a challenging course with a stunning backdrop of Wollaton Hall. The club is fortunate not only to play in the middle of a glorious 500-acre deer park but to be close the city centre with all its rich heritage.

Mini Golf

If you'd prefer a more light-hearted game of golf, or perhaps you are looking to get the kids interested in the game, head to the Lost City Adventure Golf in The Cornerhouse. With a choice of two 18-hole courses or the option to play both, you will enjoy the interactive features and obstacles, tropical surroundings and in-house Tiki bar.

Roar-some fun awaits families and fun seekers at Nottingham's new Jurassic Cove Adventure Golf course. One of the best dinosaur themed adventure golf courses in the UK, fit with challenging holes, suitable for all ages and family fun! Alongside the six prehistoric dinosaurs, from a 5-metre tall animatronic, roaring Tyrannosaurus rex to a baby Triceratops, there is also a huge gushing waterfall that cascades into a lagoon, a volcano, mini rivers and sound effects, creating for a totally immersive experience. 

You can also enjoy a round of minigolf at Highfields Park, right beside Lakeside Arts and Rufford Abbey Country Park. Both of these venues also have boating lakes for you to also enjoy during your visit!

Can’t make your mind up on what to do? Head to Holme Pierrepont Country Park and have a go at their 9-hole mini golf course or try one of their other adventure activities. On the edge of the city you’ll find Woodthorpe Grange Park, an impressive large green space, built in 1874 and complete with an 18-hole pitch and putt course for all the family to enjoy. Or if you want to try something new, check out the brand new disc golf at Sherwood Pines - a unique take on traditional golf where players throw frisbee style discs at fixed targets!
