  • "The ball machines are often broken."

Staff and Service

Pros:

  • "Staff come around and ask if you’d like any drinks or food which is also great."

  • "Staff could not have been friendlier and helpful."
  • "The staff in the cafe are really nice but overwhelmed."
  • "A big shout out to the lovely team at the Golf Centre."

Cons:

  • "Whole place was let down by rude staff."
  • "The staff were also rude when we had some new golfers with us."

  • "Nice driving range but ran into a very rude member of staff."
  • "Awful atmosphere, the staff are always so rude."
  • "Some of the bays really need recalibrating because I’ve been on some that do not track the person next to me, or don’t track at all, staff can and have been rude at times too but not always."

Value and Pricing

Pros:

  • "For an extra pound when you buy balls you also get a free drink from the cafe which was good value."
  • "The price is decent as I paid a family ticket for 2 adults and 2 children for £28 so not that expensive."
  • "Only £10 for 100 balls very reasonable."
  • "Not the cheapest, but excellent value for money."
  • "If you play both courses you get the second half price."
  • "I'll be sure to take up their offer of 80 balls and a coffee for a quid."
  • "What a great place this is, I would definitely come again, reasonable on prices, full on family day out the kids can go to dino golf & mum or dad can use the range :)"

Cons:

  • "The only negative I have is that the balls are a little pricey, £5 for 50 balls isn't the cheapest."
  • "Charging £4 each for spectators! Me and my husband don't like playing we just go for the kids but now it's costing us £8 extra to watch the kids play!"
  • "Now they charge £3 per spectator in peak times said its to control how many ppl are using 1 bay."
  • "The que was out of the door. What has happened to this place? It use to be a decent range."
  • "Not been to a driving range for around 5 years. 120 balls for £13 seemed expensive."
  • "They have just changed the pricing and it now seems very expensive."
  • "The worst thing about this place is how busy it is."

  • "Dino Falls Minigolf was great fun for all the family!"
  • "Fantastic facilities and they have done a great job with the digital feedback you get when practicing."
  • "Dino golf is fantastic for non-golfers and family's and is a great laugh all round."
  • "The course is laid out really well and creatively done with dinosaurs, bones, and caves."

Cons:

  • "Most holes were very basic in design I.e. a rock between the tee off point and the hole."
  • "It could be managed better to have time slots during busy periods instead of allowing everyone to just go on as they turn up."
  • "It was extremely busy and we had to wait for quite a while at each hole to take our turn."
  • "It’s mega busy on a Friday so waiting about was a bit of a nightmare."
  • "I thought id try out the outdoor mini golf, I wont be going again, the back log of people just ruined the game."
  • "Can get busy and some of the younger kids were frustrated with the wait states behind us."
  • "Lastly no constant service at the bay, someone who walks around takes orders and brings food and drinks or even ask if anything is ok?"
