How does it work?
Three Holes. Three Different Challenges. A whole lot of prizes to be won.
The Ball Blaster uses compressed air to launch golf balls at the floating pontoon. Aim for the red, blue or white flags to win prizes.
Velocity and distance is set the same as a golf club would achieve to hit the target, you control the pitch by pointing the blaster up or down and direction left to right. Distance is controlled by a special pressure button and lights up as it increases to what you think might be the right amount.
How can I book?
Head over to our booking site to secure your balls. Our booking does not book you a timeslot, so turn up during our operating hours to grab the challenge by the balls!
What can I win?
Check out our prize pool page to see what sinking a hole on each of the flags will win you!
Can anyone play?
Absolutely! It is perfect for players of all ages and skill levels. Perfect for kids, big kids, non-golfers and golfers alike.
Is it safe?
Yep, it is safer than swinging a golf club! The Ball Blaster is designed with multiple safety features to enjoy a safe and enjoyable experience. Our trained staff provides instructions and guidelines to all participants. The Ball Blaster is mounted into a special pedestal that restricts the up and down and side to range that ensures it is only launching towards the pontoon.
What are the flags for?
The flags mark the different sized and distanced holes. These are:
Red Flag
This is the ultimate challenge and the huge cash prize reflects this. The red flag distance is shorter than a normal hole on a golf course, improving your odds of a hole in one!
Blue Flag
A 30 cm (12 inch) sand hole our second bunker. The balls sit on top of the sand and are clearly visible from the tee area.
Whit Flag
A 50cm (21 inch) sand hole – so big its like landing in a bunker. This is our most popular hole in one to be won.
