Scottsdale has the look of a major golf chain store, but is actually more of a local establishment…read more Its online golf shop is all run and operated from within this large store in Sale which features all the mainstream golf brands, and pretty much every item of equipment and accessory that the avid golfer could want. I'm not in a position to comment too much on the finer details of its wares as a non-golfer, but I was there to pick up a present for my golfing boyfriend and was amazed at the range of goods offered, and the friendliness and attentiveness of staff. There are a number of 'driving-nets' in the back of the store where colfers can try out clubs by whacking balls into the nets, to their hearts content, something which I've had to suffer watching my boyfriend do on many a wet saturday afternoon. A number of the staff are apparently also PGA qualified professionals and thus qualified to give lessons to customers should they wish. I'm not overly experienced in golf retailers but on the basis of my experience would highly recommend Scottsdale.

I can recommend the store itself, but the delivery and the customer service on the web, has been…read morebetter... I needed to write about 5 emails a day to get one answer where my parcel is because the tracking service on the website is really not useful and good. And then after 2 days I just got the answer that overseas delivery might take longer, dont know but I think if you buy clothing at a store for about 200 or 300 pounds you can hope for a more friendly and helpful customer service. The Clothing are always great and a really the same as orderd but as I said the service is only a 6 out of 10.

Love this place!!…read more It's pretty cheap if you ask me, we payed £13 for 150 balls and club hire! And unless your like me (hitting 3 balls in quickfire) they last for quite some time too! My partner enjoyed it so much he's been back twice in the past two days! It's great if your competitive too as they have the certain yards marked so you can see how far you managed to hit the ball. I would recommend buying some gloves though as by the end of the day, my hands were covered in blisters But overall it was a great day, enjoyed by us all and I'm sure we will all be back again in no time and this time with gloves!! haha Free parking too which is great! And very close to the Trafford centre to grab a bite to eat afterwards.

Play Golf is a driving range next to the Trafford Center, and a nice place to practice your swing…read more It has 2 tiers, with 64 bays. Its floodlit and heated, so you can play in the evening. It has target, so you can practice all sorts of shots. You can take your own clubs, or hire them for a small fee. You dont have to pay to use it, you just pay for the golf balls. It costs £2.50 for 25 balls, £4.00 for 50 or £7.00 for 100. Its open til 10:30 in the week and 9 at weekends, and you can stay as long as you want. There is also an American Golf shop at the entrance where you can buy your own clubs, clothing, balls, gloves and accessories. Fore!!

This 2 star rating is a real shame but I feel short changed after coming here…read more The entrance looks so exciting and brilliant and it looks like you have the course to yourselves. How wrong could we be! You end queing endlessly for holes, which aren't particularly hard or exciting. Its less adventure course and more boring course than anything. We didn't come with a voucher, after finding one afterwards which annoyed me as I forked out £16 to play some boring golf and queue. Make the course harder/bigger/ more interesting and less queuing please! Unfortunately wouldn't come here again:(

This is actually really good fun…read more Recently opened in The Trafford Centre, Paradise Island is an indoor crazy golf centre! Featuring two different courses, this is a fun place to take the kids but also good fun for a staff night out as we found out when we wandered along to it for a fun evening! It's not dead expensive (£7 per adult, £5 per child) and you get a discount if you're in a group. The courses are set out really well, some of the holes are quite challenging and it can get quite embarrassing when you're on your 15th shot and there's a queue of six other groups behind you...was that just me?! Oh right...! The novelty theme is very well played out throughout the entire place and the decor is fantastic. It's the sort of place you can kinda of go to with anyone, dads would love it, kids love it, it's a good place to go for a date (no really it is!) and we had a right laugh when I went with work! It's funny to see how competitive men get whilst playing...hehehe!
