Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a fab time at Smugglers Cove, despite the weather!! It's a great course, absolutely immaculate and has a great mix of easier and trickier holes so we could all get involved. Even nicer at the moment as it's part of the Christmas Tree Wonderland so feels super festive. Will definitely visit again!

Here with the Vauxhall Luton Male Voice Choir on our world tour. Splendid fun on a cool Saturday with a slight hangover. Melissa was very welcoming and helpful and patient with all us silly old codgers. Great morning's entertainment, but I don't think I have held onto my championship cup from last time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great course, with a couple of challenging holes. I was absolutely destroying the rest of the group with an almost flawless round, until I fell for a cruel fake "hole" on the 18th. And there was me thinking that smugglers were honest and upstanding members of the community. To make things worse, Norm, our self-appointed scorer, suddenly declares victory for himself, out of the blue. With no independent adjudication available, I spent the rest of my trip to Bournemouth stewing on what could have been.

Really enjoyed our visit. We are 6 older gentlemen but were made to feel very welcome, despite crazy golf being a young man’s game. The course is challenging but not too intense - except hole 2 which even Seve Ballesteros would struggle on. It would be good if they offered an independent scoring service, as our friend Norm scored and we think he probably cheated. Very enjoyable experience

Good fun but quite challenging to get a good score. As we were two older ladies it took us a while to do each hole. It wasn’t busy when we went but I would imagine there might be a lot of waiting around if it was.
