We're big fans of Lego and have long thought a Lego-themed layout - both in real-life and toy form - would be a winning idea.
We never got the chance to play the old Mole-in-One Mini Golf at Legoland Windsor before it closed in 2013. However, it didn't have much, if any, Lego theming to it.

Playing the 18-hole Adventure Golf course at Alexandra Gardens in Windsor, Berkshire.

On Saturday 21st of June 2014 I revisited Windsor for the
first time since May 2009. On our last visit we’d played the Eternit-style Miniature Golf
courses in the park operated by Extreme Motion.

Since
that Crazy World of Minigolf Tour trip the team at Extreme Motion has removed
the flat concrete courses and replaced it with a larger 18-hole Adventure Golf course – notable for the castle tower, a nod to Windsor Castle itself.
Hole 11 is the tower hole - a good hole-in-one opportunity if you hit the ball into the hole at the top of the hill. I scored a 3

I had an enjoyable round on the pleasing to the eye and
high quality course. The surroundings are pleasant and the course is in a good
spot in the park.
Windsor's Adventure Golf course
I shot a round of 37(+1), scoring two holes-in-one. A lot
of the holes appeared to be very aceable. All in all it was a nice morning in
the historic town.
I’m looking forward to heading back Windsor and the
course again, with Emily this time. The course was very playable and is worth a
visit and a play.

It costs £5.50 per adult for an 18-hole round, with
children (under-14's) and senior citizens charged £4.50 a round.
When I arrived in Windsor I was an hour too early to play the Alexandra Gardens Adventure Golf course so I headed into the town for a few hours followed by a nice riverside stroll in the lovely weather before I had my round of Minigolf
The course itself and the equipment
(balls and putters) are well maintained and you get a good quality scorecard to
mark your round.
