I'm not a golfer so the golf range, potting green and shop are lost on me but appear very popular…read moreand busy. I love to pop into the cafe, a lovely place with lovely staff. I like to nip in here for a light bite to eat or just a coffee. I especially love their flavoured teas. The food is made on the premises, to order so at lunch times it can get busy. They're open late most night, which is great if you're looking for a quiet coffee. They have a great outdoor seating area, lovely in a sunny day.

This Golfing experience is quite surreal, however this may have been partly due to the novelty of…read morevisiting last night when night had fallen. 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

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.
