The former Adventure Island Mini Golf indoor adventure golf venue at Star City in Birmingham is now open under the Jungle Rumble brand.

The venue is home to two indoor 18-hole adventure golf courses - the Lost Hut Trail and the Hidden Cove Challenge.

I first visited the location shortly after it opened in 2008 when it was known as Adventure Island Mini Golf.

Over the years we've played the course for fun, leagues, and tournaments.

The courses were the 57th and 58th played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We first visited Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf in Bristol back in February 2010. Back then each of the 36-holes had green felt. The course looks a lot more colourful with the new mix of green, blue and red carpets.

Jungle Rumble was one of the first brands to bring indoor minigolf to shopping centres in the UK. When our travels began in 2006 there were only two indoor courses - in Great Yarmouth and Felixstowe. There are now around 100 indoor courses, with more new places to play opening up in towns and cities every week.

My friend, and fan of bizarre photos, Paul 'Flip Flops' O'Connor was recently in Brighton and sent me through some snaps of the new Adventure Golf course being built on the seafront.

The new course will replace the Peter Pan's Adventure Golf course on Madeira Drive.

Over the year's we've been to Brighton a few times and played, or at least visited, the Miniature Golf courses in the town when we've been there.

Peter Pan's Adventure Golf course was the 13th course visited on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in March 2007. That same year I returned to the course for the Brighton Open minigolf tournament where I finished in 18th place. It was also the venue of my brother Christopher's one and only appearance (to date) on the BMGA Tour - in the 2008 Brighton Open.

We've also visited and played the other two Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf courses, with both the Bristol and Liverpool courses hosting British Minigolf Association tournaments in recent years.

We're looking forward to giving the new Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf layout in Brighton a play in the future.

Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf's new blog

I recently noticed that Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf has recently created a blog. You can check it out at "Jungle Rumble THE BLOG"

There are two Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf sites, each containing two 18-hole indoor miniature golf courses. One is in Bristol at the Cabot Circus Shopping Centre. When Emily and I visited the courses back in February 2010 they became the 161st and 162nd played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We were in Bristol preparing for the British Minigolf Association's BMGA English Open tournament that was taking place at Jungle Rumble.

The other Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf is at the Liverpool ONE Shopping Centre in Liverpool. The courses at this site were the 212th and 213th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in March 2011. Once again we were visiting the courses ahead of a BMGA Tour event. This time it was the BMGA National Open tournament.

Two New Adventure Golf Courses Played in Liverpool

On Friday 18th March 2011 we played two new courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, as we headed to Liverpool and the brand new two-course Jungle Rumble Indoor Adventure Golf course, at the city's Liverpool ONE Shopping Centre.

The courses were the 212th and 213th played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since 2006.



The courses are good fun to play, have very friendly and helpful staff, and a nice bar area to relax before and after you've played.
