The Masters Golf

The Masters is a proper 18-hole miniature golf course that sits just outside Southport, and it's the sort of place that appeals to families and couples looking for a laugh rather than serious golfers. You work your way around fibreglass greens with windmills, ramps, and those slightly wobbly bridges that test your nerve more than your swing. The course is compact enough that even young kids won't lose patience halfway through, though older children and adults tend to get more competitive about their scores.

It's worth noting that miniature golf sits somewhere between silly and genuinely fun. Some holes are properly tricky - there's always one that makes everyone groan - while others feel almost too generous with their scoring. The course itself is well-maintained, though don't expect lush landscaping or Wentworth-style surroundings. It's bright, cheerful, and does the job.

If you're staying at the Southport Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite just under a mile away, this makes for a decent couple of hours of entertainment, particularly when the weather's decent. It's the sort of activity that fills a gap in your afternoon without demanding serious commitment. Definitely call ahead to confirm current opening hours and admission fees - details can be thin on the ground for smaller attractions like this. Not a must-do, but a decent alternative to trampolines and laser tag if you're after something with more character.
