Sean Taylor, Founder of Zip World, said: “It’s always a great feeling being able to announce a brand-new attraction and the launch of Underground Golf is no exception. We were keen to introduce an activity that was inclusive to families and groups of people of all ages without taking away the thrill and excitement factor."

Sean also gave away a hint about the end of the golf course saying that it ended in a slide. Ticket prices for underground golf start at £7. You can keep up to date with the latest What's On news by signing up to the newsletter here.
