Reviewer comments:

Choice of two courses, the 'Victory' and the 'Warrior'.
We played both and were warned, correctly, that the 'Victory' was the tougher one, especially with a course ball! 
Had a nightmare round (including 4 sixes and a five!) on the second time at the 'Warrior' course when I fell foul of the many perimeter traps. (These are fully carpeted but some joints are beginning to curl.)
The thick rope which is used for some of the perimeter gives for some unpredictable rebounds.
Aces aren't impossible. Here's Mart on the first at the 'Victory' course. 

Overall, I recommend the trip! Southsea is second only to Hastings for minigolf choice!
