Golfways - A great place to play indoor golf


Golfways is a very cool concept for family entertainment. It is a 18-hole golf course, to be played indoors !! As you enter the place, you are completely dazzled by the bright and vibrant look of it.

To start the game, you are given a fluorescent score card, a club and a small fluorescent ball. Everything around is designed in such a way that it glows in the dark. The pictures here just do not give justice to the actual effect found over there.



Each hole has a different fluorescent design, a unique theme and a unique challenge level. As you move up the levels, you come across various themes. Some are straight forward courses where the hole is visible from the starting point. But in some places you need to pass the ball through some obstructions to reach the hole. One of the course takes the ball through really nice geometric formation, while another one has really difficult obstruction to get through. The overall level of difficulty of the game is simple, but you can take your own time to move through various courses, while enjoying and admiring the lights around you.

They have a nice little online game on their website http://www.golfwayindia.com/onlinegame.php to see the various themes used in the actual courses.



Once you reach the last course, there is a surprise in store for you. If you hit the ball into one of the three holes , then you get another round of the game for free.

The entire round of 18 holes costs Rs. 190 for adults and Rs. 170 for kids. This price was Rs. 100 some time back and they have been increasing the price steadily now !!




Apart from the golf course, there are a number of arcade games for kids to enjoy from car racing, biking, basketball, bowling, and so on. The small kids who are not interested in playing golf, can spend time on these games. For Rs. 100 you get to play five different games.




Overall, it is a great way to spend an evening.
