Putt Putt seems to be an activity that has followed me my entire life. I remember vividly playing…read more weekly rounds of ultra competitive Putt Putt with my family on the Gold Coast as a kid. Since moving the Brisbane Putt Putt has since fallen off my radar... until now! A friend of mine recommended we go to Victoria Park (up near Kelvin Grove) and play some night Putt Putt for a bit of fun. Intrigued by the proposal I agreed and we made our way there around 7 o'clock that night. Initially I was a bit nervous that the repressed, competitive, Putt Putt demon within would bare all seven of its malevolent heads, however these concerns were soon alleviated due to the low admission fees and the presence of alcohol, which can be purchased and consumed legally on the course. Also, I was honestly relieved to notice that the majority of the people there were younger adults doing something a bit different with their Friday night. There were indeed kids and families around but they became adorable accessories to the evening, as opposed to tiresome obstacles. The course itself was in fact a lot of fun. Though there are no gimmicky windmills or miniature rollercoaster-things, the course still proved to be very entertaining. Each hole has three different levels of difficulty; so all players can still have a good time. Being the competitive psychopath that I am I insisted we play on the top-level of difficulty, which proved to be mostly accomplishable (all those years of competitive Putt Putting paid off). The entire experience was genuinely a lot of fun! I'm even sure I would of managed to have a good time even if I didn't win, which I did. Victoria Park is definitely a great way to break the mold and do something different with your mates around Brisbane. Though inevitably we all end up back in Fortitude Valley, Victoria Park Putt Putt is definitely worth a gander.

Putt Putt is definitely one of those things best done with a small group. Yesterday, I had my first…read moreattempt at putt putt and I have to say it is so much fun! I highly recommend if you are up for something a little different. You can of course, purchase alcohol as you make your way around the course. It has the potential to make the last few holes rather interesting. From selecting a stick that feels 'lucky', to taking that first nerve racking swing and everyone getting a bit competitive towards the end, it is genuinely a fun day. Girls, wear flat shoes and take a shoulder bag that won't get in the way. Holding a putter, a glass of wine, your ball and your bag can be a bit of a challenge otherwise!

New on the scene and brought to you by the guys who run Strike Bowling!…read more There is definatly more than meets the eye to the venue, when i first heard of it i thought how on earth are they going to pull this off, but with 2 levels and some imagination they have made amazing use of the space. The holes are very imaginative, a UV area, putting through a car, a skeeball hole, an "iron" throne made of golf clubs, oh and the 18th hole is fantastic!! With a bar inside and outside drinks are plentiful, I would suggest saving most of your drinking for after though as you will need to have some dexterity for a few of the holes. We had an amazing time and i think that this is well worth a trip into the city for a bit of fun! At the time of review prices are 9 holes for $16.50, per person 18 holes for $33 per person, which is a bit expensive of your planning on taking the kids (kids are welcome before 5pm for legal reasons). But I highly recommend doing it at least once! Will make another date night here soon i think!

This place is an epic hang out spot. We had so much fun and so many laughs. I highly recommend…read moreplaying all 18 holes.

There are different country flags that represent the different distances. I wished that they had 130 to 140m range which is missing. They positioned the driving range with a favorable regular northerly wind that compensates for the distance lost with the range ball. Besides the driving range there is a mini golf facility, club fitting facility from Taylormade and food/bev. Staff are friendly and they come around with mozzie spray during night time. Those little blood suckers are aggressive so spray yourself with it when you are offered to do so.

When my partner and I decided to pop in to Timezone on the Gold Coast, we were expecting your…read moretypical arcade, and were blown away by how big this establishment was, in addition to the huge variety of games that there were / things that there were to do. Most arcades don't have dodgem cars, 30 player laser skirmish, an 18 hole mini golf course or two mini bowling alleys. There were also many arcade machines that I have never seen elsewhere before, which is a nice change from most arcades all having the same games as one another. Games that I enjoyed playing included Time Crisis 5, Mario Kart Arcade and OutRun 2 SP. I will definitely visit this Timezone again in the future, and try some more of their arcade machines. I highly recommend giving them a visit if you enjoy a good arcade game or are looking to have a fun day out with some friends. It is easy to spend a lot of money here, so I recommend considering one of their combo packages, which appear to be good value for money.

So at the time of writing this review, you could play AC/CD Luci (Limited Edition), Start Trek LE and Pro, Mustang LE and Pro, Iron Man VAULT, and the very latest The Walking Dead pinball. If you are lucky enough to get in when a machine is new, there is nothing quite like the feel of a BNIB machine. But as time progresses (or due to the popularity of the machine) they show their age pretty quickly. The owner is usually pretty good with fixing them.
