If you’ve never played mini golf before, don’t stress about it.
Honestly, most people at Hey Caddy are beginners anyway.
Some people walk in thinking mini golf is only for little kids. Then 20 mins later they’re arguing over the scorecard and celebrating lucky shots like they just won a golf tournament.
That’s kinda why people love it.
Indoor mini golf is basically a smaller, more fun version of golf played inside with cool obstacles, ramps and tricky little shots. You don’t need golf skills. You don’t need lessons. You don’t even need good aim honestly.
You just grab a putter, hit the ball and try not to completely embarrass yourself in front of your mates.
What Is Mini Golf?

Mini golf is simple.
You hit a golf ball into a hole using the least amount of shots possible.
That’s it.
Well… until the ball bounces off 3 walls, rolls backwards and somebody starts blaming the course instead of their terrible putting.
At Hey Caddy, mini golf is more about laughing and hanging out than being “good” at golf. You’ll see families, couples, work mates and birthday groups all playing together even if nobody really knows what they’re doing.
The indoor setup makes a huge difference too. When the weather outside is hot, rainy or unpredictable, having mini golf indoors means the fun can keep going. People can relax, enjoy the game and focus on having a good time, whatever the weather is doing outside.
How To Play Indoor Mini Golf
The rules are super easy.
Everybody gets a putter, a golf ball and a scorecard. You start at the first hole and take turns trying to get the ball into the cup.
The person with the lowest score at the end wins.
Or at least claims they won after “accidentally” counting wrong on the scorecard.
The biggest mistake beginners make is hitting the ball way too hard. Mini golf is more about soft shots and good angles than smashing the ball everywhere.
Honestly the walls help a lot too. Sometimes the best shot isn’t straight at the hole. You bounce it off the sides instead. And don’t worry if you’re bad at first because most people are.
The funniest part of mini golf is usually the bad shots anyway. Somebody always misses an easy putt, hits the ball too hard or celebrates a lucky bounce like they planned it the whole time.

Indoor Golf Simulator
A lot of people come to Hey Caddy for mini golf and then end up trying the X-Golf indoor golf simulators too.
And this is usually where things get competitive pretty quickly. One good swing and suddenly someone in the group thinks they’ve got a future on tour.
The X-Golf simulators let you hit real golf shots indoors while big screens track where the ball goes. You can play virtual courses, take on different games and challenges or simply see who can hit the biggest shot.
The setup is made for hanging out too, with comfy seating, food and drinks close by and plenty of space to relax between turns. Depending on the venue, you might also find big screens showing live sport, pool tables and a full sports bar setup.
It’s a great way for beginners to try golf without making it feel too serious. You don’t need to know the rules or have a perfect swing. Just grab a club, have a hit and enjoy the inevitable mix of great shots and absolute shockers.
Most people aren’t there to become pro golfers anyway. They’re there to have a laugh, challenge their mates and enjoy a fun day or night out.

bar and restaurant
One thing people don’t expect about Hey Caddy is how easy it is to stay way longer than planned.
You come in for “one quick game” of mini golf… then somebody orders cocktails, somebody else wants pizza, and now it’s somehow been 3 hours.
That’s why the food and drinks side matters a lot.
Instead of leaving to find dinner somewhere else, people can just stay and hang out between games. The bar and restaurant setup makes mini golf feel more like a proper night out instead of just an activity.
People usually grab burgers, pizza, cocktails or share plates while playing mini golf or using the X-Golf simulators.
And honestly mini golf gets way funnier once drinks start showing up at the table.
That’s why Hey Caddy became popular for date nights, birthday parties, weekend catchups and work events too. It feels more like entertainment than “just golf.

event venue
Mini golf works really well for events because literally anybody can play.
You don’t need fitness.
You don’t need golf experience.
You just need people willing to laugh at terrible putting.
That’s why Hey Caddy gets booked a lot for birthday parties, hens parties, work events and social groups.
Even quiet people usually get competitive after a few holes honestly.
