Atlantis Golf

You're after a quick break from the beach at Skegness, and Atlantis Golf delivers exactly what it promises - eighteen holes of the miniature variety with a bit of tropical theming thrown in. It's the sort of place that works brilliantly when the weather turns or the kids have had enough of the sand and need something different to do for an hour or so.

The course itself is straightforward enough - nothing too fiendish, so families with younger children won't spend the entire round frustrated. Adults who take their mini golf seriously might find it a touch basic, but that's rather the point. You're not here for a challenge; you're here for a laugh and to pass an afternoon in Skegness without getting soaked by the North Sea wind.

It sits handily close to the big holiday parks - Butlins and Haven are both practically on the doorstep, less than a mile away - which makes it an easy add-on to a park break. North Shore Holiday Park is similarly close if you're staying there. Even if you're based further out at Grange Farm or Riverside, it's only a short drive back into town.

Practical details are a bit thin on the ground, so ring ahead or check with your holiday park reception to confirm opening hours and current pricing before you make the trip. On a decent day, allow about an hour. On a wet one, it's a proper lifesaver.
