Pirate Mini Golf at the centre:MK in Milton Keynes
Playing the pop-up Pirate Mini Golf course at the centre:MK. Six years ago today.
On Sunday 1st June 2014 we headed over to Milton Keynes to make the 560th course visit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.
The 12-hole Pirate Mini Golf course became the 336th played since 2006.
The course was of the 'Eternit' type of Miniature Golf - with the addition of felt to the playing surface and a few non-standard hole types and obstacles.
The pirate-theming around the site was very well done and the striking blue of the felt on the course made a nice contrast with the green felt flooring surrounding it.

Pirate Adventure Golf at thecentre:MK in Milton Keynes
Playing the new Pirate Mini Golf course at thecentre:MK shopping centre in Milton Keynes.
Having heard that a Minigolf course would once again be returning to thecentre:MK Emily and I were excited to give it a play.
Last summer we played the Jurassic Mini Golf at the thecentre:mk. This year the team behind that course have returned with a Pirate Mini Golf layout.
On Sunday 1st of June we headed over to make the 560th course visit on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 12-hole Pirate Mini Golf course became the 336th played since 2006.
The layout looks impressive in its location in Queen's Court at thecentre:MK.
The centre-piece of the vividly coloured, well laid out and fun looking course is a 20ft moving Octopus!
The course itself is of the 'Eternit' type of Miniature Golf - with the addition of felt to the playing surface and a few non-standard hole types and obstacles.
The pirate theming around the site is really well done and the striking blue of the felt on the course makes a nice contrast with the green felt flooring.
It makes for a pleasing playing environment - even if the course is very tricky, with some tough second (and third) putts.
In our match-up Emily, the Eternit Miniaturegolf specialist (and British Women's Record Holder on the surface), beat me by one-shot with a result of 33 to 34.
Both scores were good enough to get us on the course Leader Board too.
The course costs £4.50 a round for adults and the second round on the same day is half price. I took advantage of this and had another round after we'd had a bit of a shop around thecentre:MK.
The Pirate Mini Golf course will be in thecentre:MK until the 29th of August 2014 and is open seven days a week. It's an interesting layout, has friendly staff and is worth a play.
Further details can be found on the Pirate Adventure Golf course website.
In recent years thecentre:MK has been home to three courses, the other being a Crazy Golf course at 'The Beach' in July 2011.
This year the team behind the Pirate Adventure Golf course also have a Jurassic themed Mini Golf course at the Oracle shopping centre in Reading.

On Friday 29th July 2011 we visited and played the temporary 9-hole Crazy Golf course that has been set up at the Centre: MK Shopping Centre in Milton Keynes.
The Centre: MK has a 'beach' set up for the summer with a number of seaside amusements to enjoy, the Crazy Golf being one of them. The Beach will be open until the 31st of August 2011.
