Reviewer comments:

Only a five minute walk along the Esplanade from the Hovercraft station, so easy access to mainland. Crossing is very cheap.

Note the tee-off points are from in-laid skull and crossbones motif.

Cups are felt-padded, so ball always has a nice soft landing... ie no bounce-outs Tim!

Very entertaining and mildly ghoulish for the kids.... check out my ace on the 'Cave of Skulls' hole, here
