We played the Jocks Lane Park Crazy Golf course back in July 2011. It was the 254th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Back then it was an 18-hole layout, with half of the holes being a Swedish Felt B-Run type and the other half being farm-themed.

It's still an 18-hole course, however the 9 Swedish Felt holes have been replaced by 9 others.
