A new adventure golf course inspired by Wiltshire’s most famous landmarks has opened near Swindon and is already proving to be a huge success.

Basset Down Adventure Golf, an 18-hole outdoor course located at Basset Down Complex, opened for the first time on Tuesday, August 4 following a £400,000 investment in the site.

Each hole takes players on a mini golfing journey through the county, with features inspired by Caen Hill Locks, Stonehenge, Savernake Forest, The Ridgeway, and the Marlborough Mound.

Juliette Nutland, owner and director at Basset Down Complex, said: “We’re delighted to see the new mini golf course officially open and already being enjoyed by the public.

“The launch day was a great success, with fantastic feedback from visitors.

“This exciting addition to our existing family-friendly activities further strengthens Basset Down Complex’s golf and leisure offering as we continue to establish ourselves as a leading leisure destination for Wiltshire and beyond.”

The course was designed and built by Greenspan, a leading UK specialist in mini golf design and construction.

It was financed by Sonder Sports, and will be operated in partnership with Basset Down Complex, which will manage the facility.

Suleman Baig from Sonder Sports said: “We are delighted with the partnership we have built with Juliette, Rosie, and the team at Basset Down Complex.

“Having worked so hard to turn our shared vision for the course into a reality, seeing so many playing the course and enjoying themselves makes it all worthwhile.

“We loved the potential of the location from the first day we visited.

“It’s the perfect setting, and we couldn’t have found better partners in the Nutland family to operate the facility and make it a real success.”

Basset Down Adventure Golf is part of a wider leisure complex featuring a 12-hole golf course which reopened in May, a Toptracer driving range, disc golf, footgolf, padel courts, and an award-winning restaurant and bar.

The mini golf course is open daily from 9am.
