We thought this would be a fun way to spend a couple hours on my partner's birthday... it was not…read more We made a booking specifically for Crazier Golf and arrived fifteen minutes early as requested by the business. There were many employees, most of them were axe throwing or standing behind the bar. We waited at the entrance for a bit before my partner went up to an employee at the axe throwing area to ask if we could be directed to the Crazier Golf. He led us to the back and said, "I'll be back to give you instructions." Forty-five minutes later (so now an hour past our booking), my partner found him axe throwing again and asked if we could just get the putters and balls, and we could figure it out from there. And that's exactly what happened. He begrudgingly left axe throwing, walked to the back of the room, handed us golf balls, then left. Online it says, "You might have played Crazy Golf... but you've never seen it this Crazy. Catapults, loops, conveyors, we've got it all. Don't be afraid to bring a bevvy on the course... all the best players give their best performance after some Dutch courage." Nine holes, takes about forty-five minutes. It took us maybe ten (then again, we had the course entirely to ourselves). It was so much less fun than advertised. The course has seen some serious wear and tear; every putter, every golf ball, every surface was sticky with alcohol. Maybe we're not the demographic for this. I see other people love it; we don't. There's better ways to spend your time in this beautiful city!

Dare you putt your way through the jungle mini golf course on top of Cabot's circus shopping…read morecentre?? I LAUGHED MYSELF SILLY playing crazy golf here last week. 2 courses, 18 holes and an active volcano (not a real one obv). The course is spankingly new and looks like a set from Tomb Raider, all vines and fake temple ruins, swamp etc The course takes an hour in total and is a great way to have fun, and like me, get your competive edge out. You don't have to take kids with you, just go with your mates - its more active for brain and body than sitting in the pub. It's not expensive either - about £7 and lots of concessions available - kids, students and OAPs. The 'Hideout' cafe is also good for a simple cuppa and a cake after your game. Loser buys the drinks!

But he thing is, it's really expensive for what is essentially nothing more than your standard, run of the mill Butlins inspired mini golf. The holes weren't imaginative. Nothing like the mind-blowing mini golf I experienced in Queenstown, New Zealand where your ball rolled into a miniature roller coaster, and a castle, and a HUGE exploding volcano. No, this one does nothing like that. What's worse is that it's really expensive. I guess kids may enjoy it, but for anyone older that the age of 12 will find it boring and repetitive.

We took our two grandchildren Elijah &…read moreIsaac with their mom for the first time & couldn't stop laughing at their antics as they tried to get around the course. The boys first time at crazy golf, they thoroughly enjoyed all the special effects. What a great attention to detail, the pully ropes on to the platoons(make believe boats) across the water onto the islands, the excitement at achieving all the obstacles in their way. There was no pressure on completing your allotted hole fast to let the next person go by, everyone was just having a good time & lots of fun. There were a lot of different age ranges there from approx. 4 years to senior citizens. So just have a go & try this out it's brilliant fun.

It's a centre piece along the main Promenade of Barry Island and it's full of freaky pirates and discarded pirate ships (that, mysteriously, the pirates are much larger than). It's a business that hasn't allowed itself to slip into obscurity and continues to attract punters with both its reasonably small golf course and its even smaller café for those who prefer to spectate during such glorious sporting events. Even though the Ryder Cup is coming half an hour down the road near Newport, I'm sure there will be many that are transfixed on the Smuggler's Cove championship that I just made up in my head. It's £3 for an adult and £2.50 for a kid, or you can do a round as 4 people and get it for a tenner.

We met my daughter's friend's Dad and little brother, and they asked if they could join us. The more the merrier! Now, I haven't been bowling for years. But what fun we had. Needless to say, the Dad won and little brither lost and I'm not telling you who was where in between, but is so satisfying to watch your ball rumble down the middle of the lane! This place serves food - fast food, which is fairly inexpensive. Bowling for two children and one adult was £13.05. Try working that one out! I thought it was a bit steep. The staff seem a bit bored and the shock of the noisey music makes you unable to hear them or be heard. However, at the lanes the music is less noisey and most heard is laughter and shouts of pleasure or disappointment. Mostly my shouts were pleasure or encouragement, but I beganto flag very slightly at the end as this is a real workout if you've eaten lunch! All in all, I recommend this, and I'm going back for sure.

You can bring the family down and enjoy the park area with a giant swimming pool and play area for the children. Or you could play tennis on the number of outdoor courts they have. Or you could do what I like to do; play on the pitch and putt golf course they have. I remember when I first visited the park and I was surprised by the size of it. It is a huge mass of land that holds all sorts of fun. I have to talk about the pitch and putt golf course. When I used to think of the word 'Golf' I thought of men in silly looking trousers walking for miles to find a little white speck on the floor. Then I actually played on the course and it was fun. You don't have to know how to play golf because the courses aren't even that long. All you have to do is pay £3.50 for two clubs and a ball (that price also includes a £1 deposit) and if you're a student it costs a lot less. This was a great way to spend a day rather than sitting indoors playing pretend golf on the Nintendo Wii. If you are stuck what to do for a day then visit Ynysangharad War Memorial Park because all will have a fun day!

I've done my fair share of mini golf in the past but never properly swung a golf club so that my excuse for firing 100 balls and missing at the car.
