On the hunt for something new to see off your single days? Cambridgeshire family-owned Kingsway Golf Centre has invested just shy of three quarters of a million pounds during national lockdown to bring extra fun to your doorstep. The investment includes the spectacular Jurassic Links, a dinosaur-themed adventure golf site designed for fun-loving adults, families and youngsters. Putting through hazards, players will have to navigate through a jeep, walk through a cascading waterfall, while being overlooked by a Pterodactyl and a soon-to-arrive 30-foot T-Rex, which will guard the centre and overlook the main road. Founded by Julian Dell and business partner John Watts, the centre is now the brainchild and inspiration of John's son James, an ex-pro golfer on the European Challenge Tour who joined the business four years ago. James explains, "The decision was made to invest in the business 18 months ago and we wanted something to stand out. So, working closely with a specially formed, creative and experienced team we have really started to bring the adventure golf to life."... read more
