Inverness crazy golf

As our local school summer holidays have come to an end we just wanted to thank our amazing staff, former staff, neighbours & friends that have jumped in over the holidays to help us out!!… whether it was physically working or just giving us support (& bringing me up to speed!) we really do feel so appreciative & lucky to have you!!!
We would also like to thank the mystery person who sent a lovely brand new sparkling crazy golf trophy over the weekend & last but certainly not least….. the amazing teachers & staff who are welcoming all the children back to school this week!!…From me personally, a very extra special thank you for all the love , care & amazing support my girls have received from their schools to help them re-adjust back into school life….You are all what makes the fabulous community we have!!
❤️❤️ Thank you!! ❤️❤️
We are still open 7 days, from 10am so whether it’s a round of crazy golf, pool, chess , game of Tetris Tumble or a coffee as you watch younger kids play in the sandpit or a catch up with a pal….we are open!
Just a reminder our hours are weather & demand dependent so we will be adjusting closing times as the weeks go on but currently we are open until 5pm/6pm …always feel free to phone or message if you want to check!

🦋🦋🦋can you believe Gus’s Butterfly Game has been running for nearly 3years!!! His initial post attached!!
We just want to remind & reassure people that we are still offering our Butterfly Games. For anybody who may be struggling financially, entertaining the kids over the summer can be incredibly difficult so let us help to make it a little easier…Just mention you’d like a Butterfly Game & we won’t charge you for your game! 🦋🦋🦋

We think this is a nice thing to do….you may or not know but we support as many charities as we can. We all know everyone's struggling with living costs etc…so we want to do our bit. If you‘re a family who want a day out but cant afford it just come and see us. Just ask for ‘a butterfly’ (i like butterflies) game of golf (we dont want anyone to feel embarrassed) and we wont charge you. Just doing our bit for Inverness. We will try for a month and review after that. No chancers please!!! See you soon everyone.

As I sat wondering what on earth do I post on Facebook & how do I follow Gus’s posts….my youngest asked me what I was thinking about. Her response…. ‘thats easy! Just write …ello mates!..Come down and play some golf’ 🙈🙈🙈😂😂… not quite my style but it made me laugh… she really is Gus’s double!!! She also suggested we shared a photo of the finished product…. the deckchair he had been creating,
Inspired by our last holiday ❤️…. It’s now complete & gets the thumbs up from her!
Open daily 10-6!

We are opening our gates tomorrow to welcome you all back. Initially our opening hours will be 10am-6pm.
We ask for you all to bear with us as we do our best to navigate this time without the main man himself! Thank you for all your support, it is very much appreciated!

For those of you who are able to join us on Wednesday at the Crazy golf, Highland Council have advised us that parking is available at the new Bught Pavilion, The Aquadome or the overflow car park at the Archive Centre 💗

We would like to take the opportunity to thank each & every one of you who has shown the amazing out pour of love for our Gussie. We knew how special he was to us & many others, but to see the many people his humour, love, care & general banter reached was phenomenal & has brought us great comfort as a family. Something for the girls to cherish later as they grow older & reflect on it.
It has been an incredibly hard time & we have struggled to be able to reply to everyone & took the decision that we would hate to reply or react to one and miss someone else. We wanted to, we deeply would have loved to, just not possible, but are just so very grateful to you all!
We are working hard to arrange a funeral centred around what we feel our girls need & is right for them. We also want to involve all of you & this amazing love shown, so are doing our utmost to have something right for the girls, something to incorporate the amazing community we have around us & celebrate the amazing man he was! As soon as we have details we will share it with you all! Lots of love & absolute appreciation of you all, Emily, Bet, Isla & Oli # #

Myself, our girls & Bet are absolutely devastated & heartbroken to be writing this.
Yesterday afternoon my amazing husband, Gus, known to many as the Crazy Golf Guy…passed away suddenly.
I know he touched so many peoples lives with his kindness, generosity & banter so this will come as a blow for many.
The golf will be closed whilst we come to terms with the massive shock & work out how we move forward.
The Golfathon due to take place this weekend will be postponed. We are not going to allow his passion & hard work to go to waste by cancelling it, but our focus needs to be with our family & my two girls.
Any queries in regard to the Golfathon please contact Cash for Kids who will be happy to assist.
We have already had so many people reaching out & we appreciate every thought & kind message sent our way.
With Love Emily, Bet & the girls # # #
