Lost World Adventure Golf at Tynemouth Park

To gorgeous Tynemouth yesterday for a game of adventure golf on the Lost World course. Regular readers may recall we've played here before and on checking our blog posts, we find it was way back in 2015. You can read about our first visit, here.

Well, it's now seven years on since that first visit and we're back!

It's a beautifully landscaped course with ponds and lots more water - some of shooting at you when you least expect it. We should have known, of course, we've been there before but we still ended up getting soaked!

It's a game of two halves. There are 2 x 9 hole courses so you feel you're getting twice the value for your money. Clever.

It's fun, a fast course and has some lovely plants and flowers around, did I mention the water?

And there are plenty of dinosaurs in this lost world.

And plenty of water! Some of the holes warn you that your ball may end up in the pond - ours did, many times. Fortunately, there are lots of fishing nets to fish the balls out of the ponds with.

All in all, a great course, really fun. A great cafe for ice-creams, lunch, snacks on site too. And a smashing spot by the beach.

Lost World Adventure Golf - The Scores

You've probably already read the description of the course here but what about the result?

We played the red course first. It's par 23 and Glenda went round in 28, Barry in 30. Glenda got a hole in one on hole 9.

Next the par 28 blue course. Glenda scored 32 and Barry 24 and we both got a hole in one.

SO, Glenda won on the red course and Barry won on the blue course,If we look at this as one 18 hole round then Barry wins 54 to Glenda's 60. But let's just call it a draw.

Lost World Adventure Golf in Tynemouth

To the Lost World Adventure Golf in Tynemouth Today. If you can manage to push your way through the buggies and yummy mummies in the cafe, it's a cracking course of two seperate nine hole courses, so you can either play one nine hole course or a full 18 holes. We did them all!

 

The course is in a lovely position in Tynemouth Park and just off the sea-front.  The cost was £4.50 per adult for the whole 18 holes or £3 per adult for 9 holes. 

  

All the water warnings were there... but I still managed to get a good soaking. And judging by the screams from the other golfers around the course, I wasn't the only one. It all added to the fun.

Here's Barry being, er, attacked by an, er, dinosaur. Note the orange fluoro ball!

Yes, that's Barry's orange fluoro ball in the water. We both ended up with our balls in the water (and that's not a euphemism) on different holes and there were lots of fishing nets to get the balls out of the ponds.

Roar! More scary dinosaurs.

At the end of the course there was a 'get the ball in the hole to win a prize' final hole.  My ball went awol but Barry won.

And all the winners then get to spin the wheel to determine what kind of prize you are awarded. Barry won a 4th place prize...

And the prize was a plastic dinosaur!  Worn out by all that crazy golf we headed back to North Shields and a lovely pint in The Magnesia Bank.
