Paradise Island Adventure Golf in Glasgow | A Full Review
AD/PR Event – Paradise Island Adventure Golf in Glasgow | A Full Review
Ever just fancy doing something a little different? Tired of the same old same old? Then why not try Paradise Island Adventure Golf in Glasgow!
I was kindly gifted the experience of going along to Paradise Island Adventure Golf at Soar in Braehead, and I have to say, I had a great time.
Paradise Island Adventure Golf – My Experience
As someone who hasn’t been to adventure golf before, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’ve seen them via social media and heard about how good they were, so I was excited to go along and try it out.
When we got there I was so excited. The place looked great and I can’t fault the décor at all.
It makes you feel like you’re in a different world and I loved all the little details such as oranges in creates, palm trees scattered around and little huts that really look the part.
Getting set up
When we got inside the staff were nice and friendly with smiles on their faces and a warm welcome.
The woman who was explaining everything was lovely and very attentive which was great. She explained all of the rules to us, provided us with a score card and set us up with some lockers to put our stuff in.
I really like there are lockers to keep your personal belonging safe, that’s a nice touch.
After we got set up it was time to download the app as there are little markers dotted around that you can scan which brings up some avatars and you can choose what one to go for on each one.
Once we had the app we were ready to start playing some golf.
Playing golf
At the first hole it took me 7 tries to get the ball in the hole haha.
I was truly terrible at it but that didn’t matter, we all had a good laugh. It took a little while for me to get the app working and figure out how to use it, but once I did, it was super easy to use.
As we made our way around the course it was filled with so much fun. I managed to get a few hole in ones which I was so proud of! Never imagined I would get any of those after the disaster of the first hole.
The Course
Going around the course I liked that some of them were interactive and would talk when you were near something.
There was a wooden one that moved it’s teeth when it tallied and it gave Lisa such a fright. It was funny to watch.
I also really liked the atmosphere throughout. It was really relaxed, filled with families out having fun with the kids and it was nice to see them all interacting and trying so hard to get their balls in the hole.
A great day out
Personally I think it’s the perfect venue for a family day out, I’ll definitely be going back with little bear to give him a good go at it.
I can see him really enjoying it, plus there are plenty of places to eat around which means it would be a good day out.
As well as being fun for families, it would also fun for a group of friends or even a little date day, but primarily I can see families really having a ball playing golf.
Such a fun experience
I really enjoyed the whole experience and I think the concept of the app and being able to interact and keep your scores, especially if you didn’t have a pen like us, is quite fun.
The Paradise Island Adventure Golf App
But, I do think the app could use some tweaking as sometimes the little marks weren’t scanning, no matter what I did. And on two occasions it wiped the scores so we didn’t know what we had anymore. So, in the end we just played for fun, counting how many times we took on each hole.
It was disappointing loosing the scores and I also wasn’t able to save any pictures I took from the app but we were able to share them, so I just sent myself them on Twitter.
I looked everywhere for a way to save the pictures but couldn’t see anything, I was using an android interface though so I don’t know if it’s because it’s an android or not as I had no iPhone to compare it with so It may be different on an iPhone.
Final thoughts on Paradise Island Adventure Golf
Overall it was a great day out. We all had fun, balls went flying at points and whenever I got a hole in one, I would do a happy dance haha.
We all came away having enjoyed ourselves and that’s the main thing.
I would definitely go again both with friends or as a family day out, it’s fun for all ages and when you really get into it, the sense of competition and laughs kick in.
If you’re looking for something different to do, then I recommend trying out Paradise Island Adventure Golf in Glasgow.
With 18 holes, different obstacles and the décor, it really makes for a good atmosphere.
