The historic market town of Lymington, with its charming cobbled streets and old buildings, is a great place for a spot of shopping or a meal out. Its location at the mouth of the Lymington River has resulted in a colourful history of smuggling, shipbuilding, and sailing. Watch fishing boats and yachts coming and going from the Quay.
Based in Lymington, New Forest Adventure Golf is an exciting new concept in mini golf.
Despite the focus of the build being around children, this beautifully landscaped course is a high spec 18 hole adventure – perfect for challenging short game competitors.
Unlike other mini golf courses, New Forest Adventure Golf is crafted to take you a trail; starting on the Isle of Wight, the trail will take you across the Solent by moving ferry to complete the rest of the course in Lymington and surrounding areas. All towns and villages are authentically represented.
From May to August, there is a ‘pick your own’ fruit at Goodall’s farmland, the grounds the course is built on. Not only will they have the most delicious strawberries to compliment your cream tea, it’s the perfect way for a family to finish off a fun game of Adventure Golf.
As it’s only a 5 minute walk or 1 minute drive from our Lymington Port, New Forest Adventure Golf is the perfect way to view the best of the surrounding area miniature style on your way to or from the Isle of Wight.
