The cheapest adult round of adventure golf near Bristol is £7.50, outdoors at Cannonball Creek at Cadbury Garden Centre; the most expensive standard round is £13.00, indoors at Treetop Golf in Cabot Circus. That's a 73% premium for the same basic product, a themed putting course, and it's the single most useful number to have in your head before you book. We checked every price on this page against each venue's own site or booking page in August 2026, and where we couldn't confirm a figure we say so rather than print a guess.
Four venues serve the Bristol area. Two are indoor and heavily marketed: Treetop Adventure Golf in Cabot Circus and Mulligans at Cribbs Causeway. Two are outdoor and barely marketed at all: Caddy Gilmore's at the Bristol Golf Centre in Hambrook and Cannonball Creek at Cadbury Garden Centre in Congresbury. The honest way to read the price list is that indoor versus outdoor is really a date-night versus family-afternoon decision, and the venues have priced accordingly.
The comparison at a glance
| Venue | Indoor/outdoor | Holes | Adult price | Child price | Where | Booking |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Treetop Adventure Golf | Indoor | Two 18-hole courses | £13.00 one course, £20.20 both | £6.00 but only for under-5s; ages 6+ pay the full adult rate | Cabot Circus, city centre | book.adventuregolf.com; walk-ins welcome |
| Mulligans Bristol | Indoor | Two 12-hole courses | From £7.75 per course | No separate child rate published; family of 4 £25 Sun–Fri | The Venue, Cribbs Causeway, BS10 7SR | mrmulligan.com; walk-ins possible |
| Caddy Gilmore's | Outdoor, floodlit | Two 18-hole courses | £9.90 per 18 holes | Ages 4–15 use the same £9.90 standard ticket; family of 4 £31.50 | Bristol Golf Centre, Hambrook | caddygilmores.co.uk online booking |
| Cannonball Creek | Outdoor | Not confirmed this run — check the venue's site | £7.50 (ages 3+) | £7.50, under-3s free with a paying adult; 4 players £25 | Cadbury Garden Centre, Congresbury, BS49 5AA | bookwhen.com/cannonballcreekgolf or walk in |
All figures checked against the venues' own sites and booking pages in August 2026. Treetop's pricing can vary by date, so treat £13.00 as the standard adult figure we saw rather than a permanent fixture.
The gap, laid out per round
Here's the sum the indoor venues' marketing never shows you. An adult round is £13.00 at Treetop and £7.50 at Cannonball Creek. That's not quite double, but it's £5.50 a head, and it compounds fast. A family of four pays £41 for one course at Treetop against £25 at Cannonball Creek or £31.50 at Caddy Gilmore's. Take two kids and two adults round Treetop's both-courses option and you're at £66; the same crew could play Caddy Gilmore's full 18 and still have more than £30 left over for the driving range next door.
What widens the family gap most is Treetop's child pricing. The £6.00 child rate only covers ages 5 and under. A six-year-old is charged the full adult £13.00. Cannonball Creek charges everyone over 3 the same £7.50 and lets under-3s play free, and Caddy Gilmore's family ticket works out at £7.88 a head. If you're planning a proper family day rather than a one-off treat, our Bristol with kids guide is built around exactly this kind of per-head arithmetic.
None of which makes Treetop a rip-off. It's pricing for a different customer, and it knows it.
Treetop: built for evenings, priced like it

Treetop is inside Cabot Circus, has two genuinely elaborate 18-hole courses (Tropical Trail and Ancient Explorer), serves cocktails and pizza, and on the day we checked was open until 10pm. It's weatherproof, it's central, and it's the obvious pick for a date or a group night that starts with putting and ends in a bar, which is why it features in our best adult activity days out in Bristol round-up. Students with ID pay £10.90 a course and over-60s £11.90, both checked against the venue's own booking site this run. The both-courses ticket at £20.20 is the better value if you're settled in for the evening, since the second 18 costs you £7.20 rather than another £13.
Mulligans: cheaper than you'd guess, smaller than it looks
Mulligans, in The Venue at Cribbs Causeway, advertises golf from £7.75 per person, which on paper undercuts both outdoor courses. Two catches. First, that's a "from" price, so expect to pay more at busy times. Second, a Mulligans course is 12 holes, not 18; its two courses, Loco and Zoro, are budgeted at about 30 minutes each. Per hole, the £7.75 floor works out around 65p against 42p at Cannonball Creek and 55p at Caddy Gilmore's, so the bargain is thinner than the headline. The genuinely good deal here is the family ticket: £25 for a round for one or two adults and two or three under-16s, Sunday to Friday, checked against the venue's own site. Mulligans also stacks darts, pool and shuffleboard under the same roof, and goes 18+ after 8:45pm, which tells you who the evening trade is.
Caddy Gilmore's: the best-value proper 18

Caddy Gilmore's, at the Bristol Golf Centre in Hambrook (it used to trade as Pirate Bay), is the quiet overachiever. Two themed 18-hole courses, Kong and Around the World, both floodlit, open daily into the evening with last admission an hour before closing. A standard 18 is £9.90, concessions £9.45, and the family of four ticket is £31.50, all checked against the venue's own ticket pages this run. The venue says a round takes a group of four about 90 minutes. Floodlights matter more than they sound: this is the one outdoor course you can play after work in autumn, which removes the usual argument for paying the indoor premium.
Cannonball Creek: cheapest, with two catches
Photo: cannonballcreekgolf.co.uk
Cannonball Creek at Cadbury Garden Centre is the cheapest game in the area at £7.50 a player, £25 for four, under-3s free. There's free parking, a snack bar, and a loyalty card that gives you an eighth round free after seven. The pirate theming, including a life-sized ship with a slide, is aimed squarely at kids. But read the opening times before you drive to Congresbury: it runs Saturdays, Sundays and school or bank holidays only, 10am to 5pm on Saturdays and holidays with last entry at 4pm, 10am to 4pm on Sundays with last entry at 3pm, and it's weather permitting. A wet Tuesday in term time gives you no outdoor option here at all, which is when the indoor venues earn their premium; our things to do in Bristol when it rains guide covers the fallbacks. One more honesty note: the venue's site doesn't state the hole count and we couldn't confirm it this run, so check before you promise anyone "a full 18".
