Reviewer comments: |
I had the good fortune to be asked to help open the new course
and had the honour of playing the first official round along with four members
of the junior board and Chris Copsey of Southern FM.
In the mayhem that ensued, thanks to George (this guy puts the adventure in adventure golf), Ollie (shortly to be on the Pro-Tour), Adam (quiet but accomplished) and Harry (a bit of a dark horse), one thing was clear; they were playing for keeps. Chris and I took a back seat and watched the titanic struggle unfold (Helped in part by playing a sub-set of Planet Hastings rules). By the end of nine holes I was exhausted and completely vanquished. Beaten by everyone except George. The course itself is definitely a must for a fun game of mini golf. The zoo itself was voted No.1 tourist attraction in the South East and understandably so. |
