Mini-golf enthusiasts queue up to have a swing at Peterborough's still-to-open £2.6 million Puttstars entertainment centre

Eager customers are queuing up to book their place on the green at Peterborough’s new £2.6 million mini-golf entertainment centre.

The surge of interest comes even though there is still a fair way to go before the venue opens its doors to the public on November 11.

Construction work is still under way to complete the mini-golf facility that will occupy space on two storeys of the Queensgate Shopping Centre but an online booking service has already opened.

It will feature three fun filled nine-hole courses, The Rookie, The Enthusiast and The Master, each with a different level of difficulty.

Jennifer Gillard, Centre Manager at Puttstars Peterborough, said: "Since announcing our opening date in November, we have seen lots of positive interests from the local Peterborough community.

She said: “Pre-bookings through our website are strong, particularly in the run up to Christmas party season.”

The venue is also running a tester competition to find Peterborough’s biggest mini-golf fan as part of a competition to win the chance to tee-off the new Puttstars centre before it opens to guests.

To be in with the chance to win and be named Peterborough’s biggest mini-golf fan, simply head to www.puttstars.co.uk/mini-golf-tester-peterborough before October 30 and explain why you deserve to be the first to tee-off the new centre.

Once picked, the winner must be available to road test the courses on November 10.

Jennifer said: “We have received a high number of entries to our mini-golf tester competition, we can’t wait to welcome guests and get the fun started, once the doors officially open on November 11.

“We’re really excited to launch our Mini-Golf Tester competition to confirm once and for all who is Peterborough’s biggest mini-golf fan.

“The winner will be the first to unleash their putter on our three new courses which are completely unique to our centre, before anybody else.

"They will also be given a year’s free mini-golf pass for them and up to three guests to Peterborough’s latest family entertainment venue, with the chance to show off their putting skills all year round.”
