This place is awesome!!! Without question a better experience than either Derby or Notts venues and will come back to you again instead of those!! Not just the same old mini golf wherever you go to but this, you have to use your noddle! This stimulates your synapses as well as your senses! And good film advice as well! It was a Phenomenon visiting you!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁

It is only 9 holes and a small location but how they have transformed it and used the space is so innovative and incredible. We had the best time! The staff were warm and welcoming and each hole is unique and quirky. I can honestly say I have never had so much fun playing crazy golf.

We had so much fun on this nine hole crazy golf course. Good value for money, friendly staff and not too busy. It has a nice little bar area for a drink afterwards. From the outside looking in it looks like a bar and we saw a few ppl glance in saying “what’s that then?” Which is a shame as I would defo recommend as a place to visit while in Matlock bath.

We had a somewhat hurried and upset 7 year old visit to the Bonkers golf… arrived and we were let straight in… there was a group of about two adults and 3 children who moved fairly quickly … until they reached the hole where you have to balance a ball with your putter… this delayed group in front and was so difficult for our 7 year to do…. (He didn’t want to do the cheat version of this hole either) so left him very upset and frustrated. I think think this hole needs reconfiguring- so to allow for different heights of child… this unfortunately causes the rest of the session to be traumatic - and he left upset. Not what you would want from a fist visit. I felt it was fairly busy… thought it might be better… as there are timed slots, but it didn’t feel like that. The holes need to be a challenge, but doable for children too… if child’s a perfectionist, be warned it may cause upset…

An unusual twist on crazy golf. 9 holes but takes about an hour due to the twists on how you play the holes. Realy friendly helpful owner. Nice little bar to have a drink and a pizza afterwards. Also a few retro video games and board games to play. Highly recommend this place for families and friends of all ages.

Great little place for a very reasonable price for something to do with kids of any age. Slightly small inside but the concept is fantastic, definitely recommend
