点评:If you’ve ever wanted to play crazy golf in a place that looks like Indiana Jones’ holiday resort after a budget cut, Paradise Island at the Trafford Centre is for you. There are two courses — both jungle/tropical-themed, complete with tiki huts, stone carvings, and enough fake foliage to make you feel like you’re being judged by plastic parrots.
We went for the Temple Ruins course. “Ruins” being the key word here — not in the charming, ancient-history way, but more in the “this could really use a lick of paint” way. Still, 18 holes gave us ample time to forget about the fact we were technically still in the middle of a shopping centre.
Gameplay-wise, it’s fun enough — especially if you enjoy watching your friends dramatically overshoot a hole and send their ball into a nearby plastic fern. Price-wise, it’s not exactly a bargain, but when you’ve been trapped in retail purgatory for hours, the price of salvation (or at least distraction) starts to feel reasonable.
Verdict: Not quite a tropical adventure, but a decent break from the Trafford Centre’s endless chain of shops. Just don’t expect to find hidden treasure — unless you count the ball you accidentally lost three holes back.
翻译:如果你曾经想过在一个看起来像印第安纳琼斯度假胜地的地方打一场疯狂高尔夫,但预算缩减了,那么特拉福德中心的天堂岛球场绝对适合你。球场有两个球场——都是丛林/热带主题,配有提基小屋、石雕和大量的假树叶,让你感觉自己正被塑料鹦鹉评判。
我们选择了神庙遗址球场。“遗址”是这里的关键词——不是那种迷人的古老历史,而是那种“这里真的需要刷点油漆”的感觉。不过,18个洞的比赛让我们有足够的时间忘记我们实际上仍然身处购物中心。
就游戏玩法而言,它足够有趣——尤其是如果你喜欢看你的朋友们戏剧性地将球打到洞外,然后把球打进附近的塑料蕨类植物里。价格方面,这算不上划算,但当你在购物炼狱里困了好几个小时后,这笔救赎(或者至少是分散一下注意力)的代价开始显得合理了。
结论:算不上热带探险,但逃离特拉福德中心琳琅满目的商店,是个不错的选择。只是别指望能找到宝藏——除非你把三个洞前不小心丢掉的球也算上。
