BUTLIN’S LAUNCH TECHPUTT:
A CUTTING-EDGE 360GOLF EXPERIENCE
We are thrilled to announce the latest installation of our state-of-the-art 360Golf system at the popular British holiday destination, Butlin’s. This exciting new partnership brings the next generation of mini-golf to the Bognor Regis resort’s brand-new £15mil indoor activity centre PLAYXPERIENCE. Three brand-new themed courses were officially unveiled on October 7th, promising endless fun for Butlin’s family and Big Weekender guests alike.
The 27 holes in PLAYXPERIENCE use the 360Golf reimagined version of mini-golf that integrates cutting-edge technology into the gameplay. This isn’t your traditional putt-putt – TechPutt replaces pencils and paper with a seamless, tech-infused system that tracks scores in real time, allowing players to fully immerse themselves in the fun. With the 360Golf system embedded in every ball, players can enjoy a stress-free game where their strokes and progress are automatically monitored and displayed on interactive screens around the course.
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a complete beginner, TechPutt has something for everyone. Guests can choose from three exciting themed courses, each with nine holes that challenge players in different ways:
Vegas Course: Golf meets glitz on this casino-themed course, offering the most challenging experience with obstacles like the “Spin & Win” and a Pool Party hole.
Music Course: Perfect for all ages, this sound-themed course lets you tune up and tee off to a rock-and-roll beat, appealing to young stars and seasoned groovers alike. This course is even wheelchair accessible thanks to an adapted putter and specially designed course.
Neon Course: Get ready to glow! This UV-lit course is a visual feast, featuring fluorescent obstacles and glowing props that light up the game in a wild and whacky way.
The magic behind TechPutt is powered by Holovis' 360Golf technology, which uses advanced tracking systems embedded into the golf balls themselves. After players register at a kiosk, each team is assigned personalized golf balls, and the system takes over from there. When players tee off, sensors across the course recognize who’s playing, track the number of strokes, and automatically calculate scores.
What makes 360Golf unique is its incorporation of special supershots, and bonus points into the course design, adding an extra layer of excitement to each game. These elements are all effortlessly tracked by the system, meaning players can focus on having fun rather than keeping score.
The new TechPutt installation in PLAYXPERIENCE at Butlin’s Bognor Regis promises to be a hit with families and groups of friends looking for a fun and tech-enhanced experience. Whether guests are out to win or just enjoy the game, the system's technology ensures an enjoyable, carefree round of golf.
Each installation of 360Golf is supported by Holovis’ advanced DeepSmarts data analytics system, which offers operators valuable insights into player behavior and operational performance. The system tracks everything from player volumes and game lengths to high scores, course usage, and even maintenance schedules, ensuring optimal performance and guest satisfaction.
With the successful launch of 360Golf at Butlin’s Bognor Regis, Holovis is once again demonstrating its ability to blend immersive technology with classic entertainment. The innovative TechPutt system brings a fresh and modern twist to mini-golf, making it a must-try attraction for Butlin’s family and Big Weekender guests.
Whether you’re chasing the high score or simply having fun, TechPutt is set to deliver an unforgettable experience for all – tee-rrific fun awaits!
