Hide all AnswersQuestion 1
How is the course assembled?

Our courses consist of a number of interlocking astrograss tiles. They connect together like jigsaw puzzle pieces - it takes about 3 minutes to assemble each hole.
We use lightweight foam 'bumpers' - these are edge strips that velcro along the edge of the course to keep the ball in play. These take about another 3 or 4 minutes to attach to each hole
Our obstacles are injection moulded modern mini golf obstacles. These are lightweight and modern in look and feel - and highly playable! Simply position as needed on each hole.
In all, a full size 9 hole portable Crazy Golf / Mini Golf course may be assembled in approximately 30 minutes by one person. It takes about the same time to pack up again.
Question 2
What surface do I need?
Any reasonably flat and level surface may be used. We have laid the golf course out on the following surfaces:
- school fields
- football/rugby sports fields
- back gardens
- indoors on office floors
- community centre halls
- village halls
- car parks
- gym floors (our courses are rubber backed and won't damage the floor)
- hotel lobbies
- hotel function rooms
- pub lounges
The only surface we have ever had a real problem with is a 'meadow'. Farmers' fields and meadows tend to be quite rough and rutted. Normal school and sports fields are usually pretty good, especially if recently mown.
Question 3
Can I use the course outdoors? What if it gets wet?
Yes, you can use it outdoors. It doesn't matter if it gets wet - it soon dries.
Question 4
Can I use the course indoors? Will it damage the floor?
Yes, you can use the golf course indoors. The course has a rubber backing and will not mark the floor. It can safely be used on hotel dance floors, school gyms, etc.
We supply low bounce golf balls for outdoors use and softer foam golf balls for use indoors.
Question 5
How big are the golf courses?
Each tile is 1 metre square. Each hole is usually made up of either 3, 4 or 5 tiles. So, a typical small hole is 3 metres by 1 metre and a typical large hole is 4 metres by 1 metre.
We supply tiles in boxes of 9. So, the smallest hire would be one box of 9 tiles which would allow you to build 3 x 3 metre holes, or 1 x 4 metre and 1 x 5 metre holes - which would be just about right for an exhibition booth hire
A normal 9 hole portable golf course would be 36 tiles. This would allow you to build 9 x 4 metre holes, though we usually recommend a mixture of 3 metre, 4 metre and 5 metre holes as the size variation makes for a more interesting course. We supply a layout guide for this.
Question 6
How much space do I need?
The more the better! However, a 9 hole course ideally needs about half the size of a tennis court. A good sized back garden is often enough.
For a small 9 tile hire you will be able to build three x 3 metre holes - and people can often get these dotted around a house (one in the lounge, one in the dining room, etc) - perfect for a Birthday Hire!
Question 7
What ages does it suit?
The great thing about crazy golf / mini golf is that it appeals to everyone, from 3 to 103!
We send our courses out with low bounce golf balls and safety rubber headed putters - this is what most players will use. However, we can also supply foam balls and plastic putters - so the very youngest can join in.
Question 8
What Equipment is supplied with the course?
Challenge Putt
This is intended for single golf hole hire for pub challenge events, low budget charity fundraising events, conference booths, exhibition hire, one-off golf competitions (hole-in-one events and fundraisers), use in a hotel lobby, atrium and other fairly restricted spaces. Or perhaps a small birthday party / wedding hire
We provide three obstacles, so alternatively build a small 3 hole mini golf course in your back garden, pub beer garden or other restricted space.
Contains:
- 9 tiles (make a single long hole or three smaller holes)
- 3 obstacles
- 5 balls
- 3 putters

- 9 putters
- 18 low bounce golf balls

Question 10

Our courses consist of a number of interlocking astrograss tiles. They connect together like jigsaw puzzle pieces - it takes about 3 minutes to assemble each hole.
We use lightweight foam 'bumpers' - these are edge strips that velcro along the edge of the course to keep the ball in play. These take about another 3 or 4 minutes to attach to each hole
Question 11
Are there safety issues?
The course is made up of high-density non-toxic astrograss tiles.
Each tile is fully drained via numerous punch holes. Though they may get very wet in an English summer - they'll soon dry off.
Even if children or other players fall over on them, they'll be perfectly safe - each tile has a safe fall height of 0.9m (concrete), 1.0m (grass/earth) or 1.2m (wooden sprung floors).
The tiles are interlocking & have a non-slip base - they stay in place on any surface.
The tiles are fully stain resistant & UV treated. They can be used permanently outdoors and will not fade.
Additionally, the tiles are:
- Ammonia free and non toxic
- CE approved and conformant with fire and children's toxicity tests
- Conformant with European Standard on Safety of Toys EN71 Part 1:1998
- Conformant with Mechanical and Physical Properties EN 71 Part 2:1993
- Conformant with Flammability of Toys and EN 71 Part 3: Migration of Certain Elements
- Manufactured to ISO 9001 standards
