Other factors:

Appearance:

5 – Not too pleasant to look at and definitely a one of a kind

Environment:

Equipment:

3 – Very poor. You are given different clubs and standard golf balls to play this course, as opposed to ‘proper’ equipment for the adjacent Adventure Golf. Both putters provided featured a number of bends! However the scorecard is well thought out and looks good.

Originality:

10 – you won’t see many courses like this, definitely ‘crazy’

Vicinity Facilities:

10 – The Pleasure Beach has a café, rides and other amusements on-site and the excellent Wellington Pier arcade is next door.

Reviewer comments:

If you’re in Great Yarmouth you should play this course (at least once), just don’t expect much and you’ll be OK.
