Puttify Leads UK Leisure Center into a New Era

Freedom Leisure, who have operated Guildford Spectrum for the local council since 2011, had a clear vision to enhance and modernize the venue. Any new attraction needed to be both attractive to their existing audience and engage new audiences. As experts in the turnkey design and build of leisure attractions, Greenspan was engaged in late 2025 to bring the vision to life.

Mini Golf, Reimagined for the Modern Era

Six lanes of bowling were removed and the ceiling raised to make way for a nine hole  upscale tech infused mini golf course covering just shy of 3,000 square feet. Freedom Leisure chose Puttify because:

• Each hole offered a distinct challenge, engaing players of every age.
• Automated scoring and technology built into the hole instead of the ball or club removing any friction.
• The three-shot gameplay means everyone has a chance to compete, thus engaging everyone.
• The non-linear layout lets groups start anywhere and move around freely, preventing queues and crowding.
• The customization options meant that Puttify could perfectly complement their venue rebranding

An Attraction That Works for the Community

Guildford Spectrum has always drawn a broad audience. Mini golf gives the venue a new anchor attraction, but Puttify mini golf makes it an experience that is addictive and repeatable.

High-margin F&B and associated spend uplift is what makes adding an attraction like Puttify so valuable to a venue like this. Each new activitu gives a different guest a reason to be there, and the more reasons there are, the longer people stay, and the more they come back.

We look forward to working with Freedom Leisure as they continue their venue enhancement plans in 2026 and beyond. The first Puttify venue delivered in the USA was also at a bowling center, check out Revel & Roll West in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
