Reviewer comments:

This mini golf course is excellent and you will have to search long and hard to find a more challenging skill based course.  It doesn't matter how many times you play this course the holes can play completely differently from hour to hour.  Being next to the beach and exposed to swirling winds it is very hard to achieve consistency on this course and you must be able to play in all conditions.

The holes aren't particularly original by appearance but when you play them you can notice the right to left slopes or vice versa.  The plateau holes can be a particular menace with any slight breeze causing you to score a seven.

The degree of difficulty of the course makes it an excellent venue for matches or in particular for tournaments as a 3 or 4 shot deficit can easily be clawed back as opposed to easier courses where every hole is par 1 or 2.
