A NEW minigolf course is set to open in Northwich.

Mad Hatter’s Adventure Golf will officially open at Hartford Golf Centre later this week.

Owners Tim and Jen Barnes say they came up with the idea after seeing a huge spike in the number of families getting into golf.

Mrs Barnes said: “We pride ourselves on being a family friendly golfing centre where everyone is welcome.

“With the opening of Mad Hatter’s we now feel we can offer visitors of all ages and ability a fun pathway into golf.

“They can start by practicing their putting skills around the adventure golf course, move onto the driving range where they can play games and virtual golf courses from around the world, and end up on our superb nine hole pay and play course.”

Mad Hatter’s will open this Friday, July 21.

Visitors will be invited to head down the rabbit’s hole and take on a course where each of the 18 holes become “curiouser and curiouser”.

Along the way, players will come face-to-face with many beloved characters from Cheshire-born Lewis Carroll’s iconic tale.

The Cheshire Cat, Eat Me cookies and Drink Me potions, a giant teapot and the Mad Hatter himself will all make an appearance before the final hole, set in the Queen of Hearts’ castle.

Away from the golf, there will be a pop-up bar and outdoor picnic area where guests will be able to enjoy ‘Mad Hatter Platters’ along with Drink Me Potion slushies, Eat Me cookies, and a range of other drinks and snacks.

The launch of the adventure golf course at Hartford Golf Centre comes just a year after the opening of the TrackMan Range, which the Barnes’ say resulted in a huge increase in the number of families visiting the centre.
