Clip n Climb Metrocentre

Hi Everyone,

We visited Clip 'n Climb Metrocentre last week with a friend and took advantage of the £10 weekday climb offer online. This was our first visit to this branch and we found it to have more or less the same walls as other branches we have visited previously. 

The walls themselves vary in difficulty as our youngest loves a challenge she was very happy to give the harder climbs a few goes. She especially liked the bean stalk wall, which we were told was the hardest of all 

 We were lucky on our visit that it was very quiet so we were able to move around freely without having to wait. We also had a go on the vertical slide, this does cost an extra £3 but it's a good challenge. We will say it does require a lot of grip strength to hold on while moving up, so we wouldn't recommend it for little ones, as if they can't hold on it's not too much fun. Our daughter is very strong and made it to number 4 (she really wanted to get to ten lol) and her friend got to around 6, who is a strong gymnast.

Our only grumble with this branch is you don't get very long in the centre. Our start time was 11:15am and we were told to have our last climb just before 12pm, during this time we had the harness fitted and the safety briefing meaning our climb time was less than 40 minutes. In other branches we have had the whole hour and even been allowed to stay a bit longer when it's quiet.

Junkyard Golf Newcastle - Bozo

Hi Everyone,

We visited Junk Yard Golf yesterday in Newcastle for the second time. This time we took on the Bozo course, which has a scary funfair theme. We have to say again the 9 holes are really quite cool and a lot of effort has clearly gone into creating a really fab atmosphere.

Both kids and adults enjoyed this course and as this was our second visit we only paid half half price, after filing out a short survey from our first visit. With the discount we paid £4.25 each which we thought was a more reasonable price for the amount of holes

Junk Yard Golf has such a lovely funky atmosphere and we definitely want to try the adults only times on an evening as well.

Angry Birds Golf

Hi Everyone,

Our youngest had a day off school on Thursday due to the elections so we decided to give Angry Birds Adventure Golf at the MetroCentre a go with a friend. It was our first visit and I have to say we were very impressed.

There are two courses both 18 holes each which are located downstairs, the space is huge and the angry birds theme is really well done. The course we tried was challenging enough to make it fun but not overly hard.

With it being a school day for most we had the whole place to ourselves which was lovely so we could really enjoy the props and take our time playing. Both kids really enjoyed it.

The staff here are wonderful Our friend's daughter tripped on a little wall whilst playing and hurt her ankle, we were quickly seen by two first aiders who assessed her, made sure everything was fine and even offered us free vouchers to return if she couldn't carry on. Ironically our daughter then tripped and hurt her ankle on the way out, so do be careful of the little walls.

We had a voucher for £4.95 to play 18 holes but we did see lots of different deals and promotions advertised so do check them out before going.

Despite our injuries we would 100% recommend @angrybirdsgolfuk and we can't wait to try the other courses and the food options.

Junkyard Golf Newcastle upon Tyne

Hi Everyone,

We recently visited junk yard golf club Newcastle. We have wanted to try here for a while as it seemed really cool and different to other crazy golf courses we have been to. It's set up as an over 18s only course on an evening but children are welcome during the day.

There are 3 courses a scary funfair, junk yard and a jungle. We choose the jungle. Each course is 9 holes and they are all really well set out with props and different challenges. There is music playing and funky lightning giving the whole venue a party vibe, with lots of opportunities for selfies. The kids absolutely loved it.

Our only negative about Junk Yard Golf is the price. It costs a family of 4 over £30 for 9 holes which took around 30 minutes to play. Which we think is really poor value for money. We were very surprised that there was no family ticket or child discount. On our visit the course was very quiet which we attribute to the price.

On the back of the score sheet there is a QR code which links to a survey and 50% off for two people which was a saving grace if we choose to go again as we did really fancy having a go at the other courses.

Overall a fab venue, great crazy golf set up but the cost for a family is very high.
