With a full 18-hole course in a dramatic pre-historic setting – as well as a Flintstones-themed restaurant – it's a great place to enjoy a day out with the family.
As the name suggests, the course runs through a Jurrasic Park-like setting, with large and life-like dinosaurs around each hole, as though ready to snap up any errant golf ball (or golfer). The dense forestry and an erupting volcano complete the Land that Time Forgot feeling, providing a great escape from the sun and from any thoughts of taking life too seriously!
