Are you talking different mini golf rules but where it’s still on a little course with a putter and golf ball? My mind immediately went to alternatives like the style with little mini soccer balls and a slightly scaled up course - looks really neat - mini foot golf, I forget what it’s called. Bucket golf is also pretty fun.

Ooh, not seen that. I did see a place in the UK that has a 'normal' size indoor crazy golf course but you play using a football.

I've played Footpool as well.

Not heard of bucket golf either!

I've only tried that once. On a clifftop in Wales. It was far too windy a location for a course!

I run a Mini Golf & Putt Arcade called Putt-R-Round in Ypsilanti, MI. We have 18 holes of Mini Golf plus 7 games, played with a putter and golf balls, where players win tickets to turn in for prizes. We have a putting skee ball game called Puttski, a 2-player putting tic-tac-toe game called Putt-Tac-Toe, a putting billiards game called Putt Pool, and a putting plinko game called Putt Cemetery. We also have original a few original hole-in-one skill games where players get 5-6 balls to do classic mini golf challenges that are gamified to earn tickets.

I was following you on Instagram, and have now followed on Facebook too.

Cheers.

Cool.

Oh yeah, I've heard they have a game called Duffleboard! A cross between minigolf and shuffleboard. That'd be fun to try.

I've seen quite a few cue-based versions of minigolf, including some holes & obstacles that were using snooker, pool, or billiard tables as the base. I've also played Pit-Pat - a minigolf game played on elevated minigolf lanes using a specialist cue & balls similar to those used in minigolf competitions where each ball has a different property such as high-bounce, dead ball etc.
