Best Crazy Golf Course Ever!!! 

If you have a Dinosaur lover at home then they’ll be in heaven here.  This brand new 18 hole adventure golf course is pretty awesome, even as an adult I thought it was great but my son just stood staring for ages before begging to go in.



We were invited to attend a launch event with a few others and all the kids were super excited.  We were led into the shop to collect our clubs, balls and score cards before heading off to play.  My son’s excitement level was pretty high and his Dad attempted to teach him how to look for the hole before starting and showed him how to gently hit the ball correctly.  Did he listen?  Of course he didn’t!  He quickly sussed that it was much easier for him to start near the hole and go from there and this was a battle I really couldn’t be bothered to fight. 

So my husband and I challenged each other and I felt a little smug when we had to get our balls over a little river and mine flew over while his went plop haha.  Luckily there are little fishing nets nearby and our boy laughed his head off while Daddy fished his ball out.  With every hole you play there’s something pretty cool to see from the fort you have to go through with a waterfall to the volcano you have to wind around. 



The animatronic Dinosaurs are brilliant and some even roar as you go past!  They are really quite realistic, so much so that our boy was in awe from a distance but a little scared when he got up close.



I always loved crazy golf as a child and I really enjoyed seeing a bit of change to the normal bog standard ‘curve round a corner’.  My husband took great pleasure in pointing out the instructions on nearly every hole where as I enjoyed trying to figure out which direction I should just whack the ball and hope for the best (which served me well).

Unlike other crazy golf courses, there’s a story to follow and if you read the signs around you’ll be able to learn about Sweet Valley Claw and the terrifying Iron Jaws who threatened to destroy the kingdom. 



Before heading home we met naughty Toby the Dinosaur who liked a dance and we spent some time in The Kitchen Club.  They have a huge wood fired pizza oven which cooked our handmade pizzas in minutes and I can’t recommend them enough so if you’re peckish before or after the game then head on in as there’s plenty more on the menu to choose from and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. 

Good to know………

Please note we were invited to Mighty Claws Adventure Golf for review purposes however all views are my own.

This year I set myself the task of doing 40 nice things for turning 40 and recently took my teething and sad baby girl out to the shops in the hope that a bit of fresh air and a wander might cheer her up.  We went off for lunch in a cafe and an elderly gentleman sat on the table next to us and asked the waiter for a cup of tea and a tea cake.  Whilst we were sitting there I noticed my little Lucy staring at him and as I looked over he gave a great big gappy smile at her which made her face light up and laugh out loud.  Face pulling and giggling went on until the gentleman’s food arrived and although no words were exchanged I had a little heart warming feeling that these 2 strangers had made each others day.  

When I got up to pay at the counter I quietly asked if I could pay for the gentleman’s food and drink and told them to say thank you to him for making my pooly girl smile.

Every year the Country gets involved in ‘Pay it Forward Day’ and I thought I would use the opportunity to do something good for others.  The idea is that everyone does 3 nice things for other people who will then go on to do 3 more nice things thus making the world a better place.

So myself and my son Sam got in the kitchen the night before and made lots of heart shaped lemon biscuits and then when he went to bed I wrapped them in little bags and attached ribbons and the thank you tags he made.  In the morning we took them to school and gave them to his teacher and teaching assistants who praised him for being so kind.

After school we bought a bright beautiful bunch of tulips and Sam gave them to an elderly lady in Wareham and told her to have a lovely day.  Our last good deed for the day was to give Nanny a box of chocolates for being so amazing.

‘Pay it Forward Day’ is held in April every year so why don’t you try and do something nice with the kids next year!
