Following the British Open at the excellent Adventure Golf course at Strokes in Margate we headed to the Little Oasis Crazy Golf at Cliftonville hoping to grab a game on the second 18-hole Arnold Palmer course (having previously played the 18-hole course with obstacles including the Windmill back in September 2007 - when it was Minigolf course visit number 37).
The unplayed course wasn't Minigolf course visit number 74, nor was it number 79. And it still hasn't been open to be played and therefore is not Minigolf course visit number 153 on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Welcome to Margate
Before we played in the BMGA Kent Open on Sunday 2nd November we had planned to practice at Strokes Adventure Golf Course, however seeing the somewhat stormy conditions on the Seafront course (below) we decided to visit Margate's mysterious Shell Grotto.
According to Shellgrotto.co.uk "The Grotto’s discovery in 1835 came as a complete surprise to the people of Margate; it had never been marked on any map and there had been no tales of its construction told around the town."
If you're in, or around the Margate it's well worth a visit (as is Strokes Adventure Golf Course).
More information about the Shell Grotto can be found here.
