Review:
I'm not exactly what the link to Arnold Palmer is; Great Yarmouth isn't exactly an international golf hot spot after all... However, this is a very neat little crazy golf course. It's not really the most crazy of crazy golf courses you're likely to come across, but it is called a putting course and it's excellent for practise.




All the holes featured classic crazy golf obstacles such as ramps, posts and a water mill! The odd thing about the obstacles though was that most of them weren't very obstacley.

As you can see on the photo to the left, the 17th and 18th holes have posts and rocks, but they're not actually blocking anything and you simply have to putt straight through. It was the same on most holes which meant the course as a whole didn't have much variation.

 We still enjoyed it as it was a beautiful day and the course was tidy, well maintained with a good surface.




Result:
Neither of us had a great round, with Debs incredibly narrowly missing at least 3 holes in one. On a par 36 course (All the holes were Par 2, boo) Debs scored 51 and I hit 45.

Another obstacle that just needs a straight putt
One ball got stuck on a ramp, poor design!

















My single hole in one!
