Edinburgh St James Quarter getting new mini-golf course in sports mega hall

Edinburgh will soon be able to boast having Scotland's latest golf course when 'I Like Big Putts' open their mini-golf course at the St James Quarter next month.

The course will open at the Lane7 entertainment venue at St James Quarter and will be their only location in the UK.

Any Edinburgh locals who have already visited the bowling alley will be familiar with the brand’s signature neon golf cart outside the venue, but as of next month will be able to enjoy the full ‘I Like Big Putts’ experience.

Having already scored a hole-in-one with an ever-popular roster of sports, including shuffleboard, interactive darts pods, shooting alley, and arcades, the bowling alley is investing £700,000 in the state-of-the-art 14-hole futuristic course.

Alongside the course confirmation, Lane7 bosses have shared a selection of CGI plans of some holes that will be available to play, including ‘Tic Tap Toe’ and Pinball Wizard.

Graeme Smith, Chief Operating Officer for Lane 7, said: “After such a warm welcome by locals, it was a no-brainer to invest a further £700,000 to add our new mini-golf concept; adding to our unique blend of premium activities all available in one under one roof.”

Jennifer Laseen, Food & Beverage Director at St James Quarter, said: “We are beyond excited to see Lane7’s mini-golf course open. The brand’s signature neon golf cart has been quite the talking point since we opened with many of our guests using it as a great photo opportunity. At St James Quarter, we pride ourselves on providing world-class facilities that will entertain people of all ages and Lane7 does just that.”

Lane7 believe they are one of the best venues in Edinburgh.

Speaking of their St James Quarter location, a spokesperson boasted: "Imagine the best bar you’ve ever been to and then add a first class dining experience, ten-pin bowling, ping-pong, pool, Karaoke and an unrivalled atmosphere into the mix. We’re perfect for nights out with mates, for parties and even for corporate events."
