239 Skegness (Bottons Pleasure Beach) - Gold Mine Adventure Golf (Adventure Putting) & Cactus Canyon River Ride

While wandering along the seafront in Skegness on the 20th May I had spotted what looked to be a Minigolf course from the beach, and indeed it was. It was the last of the courses we had seen on the MiniatureGolfer.com list that we had not yet 'scouted out' during our stay.

So, on the 21st we headed to the course for a round of Minigolf and a go on the Cactus Canyon River Ride!

Like all good themed Adventure Golf courses there was some great Pirate-y music playing on the course :-)

The course was the 239th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, and in our In our Irregular Mini Golf Tour Match-up...I defeated Emily 19(+1) to 25(+7).

The course was also described as 'Adventure Putting'. The first time we have played a course called this.
