The last place I would have expected to find a golf course was inside a public park, but that's…read moreexactly what I found on a walk through Alexandra Park! I'm not a huge fan of golf (since I suck!) but my boyfriend & his brother have been teaching me the basics on this course, plus I really like how they have shaped the course around the park as it fits in perfectly with all the walk ways and other scenery. The course starts just behind the bowling green's towards the back of the park and inside the bowling green area is the building where the admission for the course is "paid" (although from what I've seen very few people actually pay to play here). The course has 9 holes, most of which are a par 3, with three par 4's. I'd say the course is well suited to beginners and moderate players, you're certainly not going to see a Tiger Woods level player teeing off here! I would say that the course is also kept in pretty good condition as The fairways & greens are very good but the tee off areas could be doing with some maintenance. I think this is a pretty good course in general with some good challenges for those just starting out like myself. A few negatives to point out would be that, because the course is in a public park, there is very little security so it can be a common occurrence finding yourself trying to avoid beer bottles or cans with your feet as you're taking certain shots. Also, don't be surprised if some holes are missing the flag as some goofballs seem to think it's cool to take these which can cause some confusion aiming shots blindly at the green! The final thing I would say that is super frustrating is that because the course is very spread out, you can often find people randomly jumping onto the course & beginning their round from random holes.....very annoying when they decide to jump on at the hole in front of the one you are currently on holding up your round!! All in all I think the course is pretty good in spite of those negatives. It's very ideally located, well maintained and a good course for people of average skill level, which I'd imagine most of the people who play here are at!

As a twenty something year old woman, I take great issue with being instructed to carry my drinks from the bar to the table on a tray, particularly when the table is only a foot away and all I bought was a glass of water. I feel particularly daft doing this while wearing plaid trousers and a brown cord flat cap being forced to adhere to the club's strict dress code. However, I do like Ralston Golf Club. I have attended a few functions here over the years and it is nicer than your average place to tee, or whatever it is golfers do. The club is framed by huge windows which is particularly pleasant when the light streams in on a sunny day. There is also a courtyard when the weather is nice enough to sit outside. Drinks at the bar are also very cheap which is always a point scorer in my book.

A grand building to look at from the outside, the exterior is matched by a classy interior which represents a fantastic venue for weddings, christenings, birthday parties and the like. What's more the food on offer, although not spectacular, is good hearty fare, while the members in here tend to be a little less old-school than elsewhere. Indeed, I swear I once even saw a woman wearing trousers in here. Honestly, I'm not making it up.

I have a confession: I have been known to have epic tantrums post-mini golf in the past. I'm glad…read moreto say after Saturday's outing, coming second last and scoring a default 6 on most holes, I am now reformed: no more tantrums! Thanks to David A for organising this awesome UYE as part of the Festival of Firsts. We visited Jurassic Parrr on a cloudy/sunny Saturday to take on the challenge of 18 holes of dino-fun times. But first, we needed to conquer the cafe. There's lots of outdoor seating and comfy couches inside. We ordered at the counter after locating a menu - I went for a baked potato with ham and cheese. At a whopping £5.50 I was less than chuffed at the price but needs must - I would've definitely had a tantrum if I was required to mini golf on an empty stomach. The topping was great - more like gammon than ham, and lashings of cheese. The potato wasn't great though, a little dry. The outside of the potato was super crisp and yum, so I just scooped out most of the middle and ate the topping and skin. Onto the golf: it's £7.50 per adult and for that you get a putter, ball, and a score card. It's probably best to play in a group of 4 and so we split into two groups. There's some pretty cool holes along the way but it would be loads better if there was a bit of an upgrade and more novelty elements. All in all though, it was a pretty fun way to spend an hour or so, and I'd go back in the future.

We went to Jurassic Parr when we were in Glasgow as an activity for us to do in between other stuff…read morewe had planned for the day. What to say? Well, mini golf is mini golf. We generally enjoy playing mini golf and a themed mini golf park makes it just that much more enjoyable. We really enjoyed that this particular golf course takes into account 3 of our senses. You get the visual from the environment, the giant dinosaurs (some of them moves), the cave, the water, etc. They have speakers with growls and nature type sounds, it even smells like fire. Plus, they have an app to take down scores and as lovers of new technologies, we really enjoyed having the option to go paperless. The only downfall, was the small amount of "unusual" holes. There was only 3 or 4 holes which were directly linked to the theme, the others were just the usual plain holes you find in most mini golf courses (and not overly challenging at that). we really enjoyed our round, but we wont be going out of our way to go back again.

However, I have attended a few good functions held in here and, as the club is located on a hill, it offers lovely views of Glasgow. Afraid I can't comment on the course itself as I am not a golfer.

Driving in to the car park, as I imagine it would be slightly difficult to get there by public transport, the number of cars was tremendous for a driving range at that time. I was soon to find out why.. Quite some way outside of the City itself, World of Golf at 8.30 on a Thursday evening was full to the brim with those professional golfing enthusiasts, and the counterpart guys swinging for the air, leaving the golf ball comfortably sitting on the green. I feel obliged to mention, I fitted in quite nicely with the later of the two, where children were leaps and bound ahead of me. That being said, a thouroughly enjoyable experience was had by both me and my boyfriend, who sadly for me fits the description of the first of the two types of players mentioned. As driving ranges go, they are generally quite satandard, rubber tees, token ball machines, small golfing goods for sale in the reception area. Well World of Golf, as highlighted by the name is Bigger and Better. The golf store alongside the reception was vast and varied in product range. Staff were very polite and accommodating, with the bonus of offering clubs, waiving the general fee of £2 per club. I was tempted again by the novelty, and choose a booth on level 2, yep thats right there are two levels. Lift was in my favour with the extra height, and I managed to re-tune my golfing prowess for a good two to three swings, as a contented Ping noise sent my ball out in to the floodlit well-kempt grass range. 150 balls between two people who haven't played in around 5 years was ambitious, leaving cramp in the hands of both my better half and I, who once out of balls, retreated to the warmth of the cafe. Howbeit, I am now hooked once again to golf, with a reasonably close location and at a one off 'pay as you go' price of just over £6 it is hard to resist. I recommend everyone who plays or has played golf and let it fade away to dig out their clubs and glove, blow off the dust and roll down to World of Golf Glasgow and hit some balls on to the fairway. Enjoy

The outer is a hilly grass area with benches, and the inner is a well-equipped and fenced in large kids playground - such a set-up is perfect for adults to sit back and watch the kids whilst allowing them the independence to run around freely. And because of the fencing, the worry of them running off too far is eliminated. Another bonus is that it's never as busy as the Kelvingrove or Botanics. The grassy area is also perfect to let dogs have a nice sniff around - though probably only suitable for smaller dogs. All in all, it's a perfect escape from the city buzz on Byres Road, and a great way to entertain the wee-uns.
