When is the last round?
The final round on the MiniLinks Par3 is always 1 hour before closing. If you wish to play on the Pennines Putting and/or Crazy Golf around this late time that's great! Please contact the Clubhouse on 01253 782134 to let the at.golf team know you are coming - if there are no players left on any three courses between the last round time and final closing we will close. Our closing times can be found using the 'PRICES&TIMES' tab at the top of this page.
How long does it take to play?
How well can you play!!!??? Rickie Fowler took an hour an a half to play the Par3 and he played 36 holes! Major winner Martin Kaymer took just 30 minutes playing 18 with his manager. The average is around 45minutes to an hour depending on ability, group size etc. Crazy Golf and Pennines Putting courses are much shorter therefore do not take very long to play hence the popularity of all three courses - something for everyone's ability and time!
Are Spectators allowed?
Access to the MiniLinks Par3 course is for Ticket Holders only. This means that only customers wanting to play are permitted on to our very small 'Mini' golf course as we do not have a spectator pathway inside the perimeter fence but do so around the outside of the fence. Spectators are however permitted on our Crazy Golf and Pennines Putting courses.
Wheelchair users, dog walkers and families with prams?
We welcome everyone here at the MiniLinks Golf facility with something to suit everyone. Please see above regarding 'spectators' on the MiniLinks.
Dogs are permitted on the Inner Promenade where our Pennines Putting is situated but unfortunately not permitted inside the perimeter fence where the MiniLinks and Crazy Golf courses are located. The Pennines Putting is the most accessible course and very popular for families with prams and wheelchair users. There is seating available on the Crazy Golf but please call the at.golf team on 01253 782134 to discuss any of your requirements - we are here to help
How old do you have to be to play and what group size?
Everyone is able to play regardless of age or ability but we kindly ask players under the age of 14 to be accompanied by a player aged 14 or older and not to group up to more than 4 players.
Carers
As per the Carers Trust Website: 'Visitor attractions and leisure facilities may offer discounts'. 'Get in touch with them before you go and find out what help they can offer you.' Yes we offer a Carer's Discount! Please get in touch with us prior to arrival to register in the system for our 'Manager's Special' and to provide the necessary documentation. We will contact you when this is done and provide guidance on our three courses for carers to decide which course is suitable as they all differ. This has to be done prior to arrival as we do not have the capacity to do this on the day.
What happens if I lose a ball?
We provide a mini-pack made up of a spare ball and some tees for only £1 so make sure you pick one up before you start!
What do I wear?
There is no strict dress code here at the MiniLinks. We suggest wearing suitable clothing that reflects the weather conditions and undulating terrain.
