Pirate Adventure Golf in Ryde

Revisiting the Pirate Adventure Golf course in Ryde.


The first minigolf course visited on our trip to the Isle of Wight in October was the Adventure Golf course at Peter Pan's Funfair and Amusements on the Esplanade in Ryde. As we were on the isle slightly out of season we weren't expecting all of the courses to be open for a game.

We also weren't expecting to see the course quite as flooded as it was! We'd clearly escaped being thoroughly drenched while on the hovercraft over from Southsea.

Floody hell!

Good luck teeing off

I believe there's a skellington in a cell in that tunnel

The course still looks to be in great condition

The Pirate Adventure Golf course in Ryde was the 68th course visited and played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in 2009.

Crazy Golf course at Berryfields Holiday Park in Cornwall

While driving from Mawgan Porth towards Padstow on our South West roadtrip last summer we spotted a sign for Berryfields Holiday Park - a sign that said 'Crazy Golf' on it!

The sign next to the road to Padstow - if it wasn't for this we'd never have known there was a Crazy Golf course in Porthcothan Bay

A quick bit of manoeuvring and we were on the lane down towards the holiday park located at Porthcothan Bay. And what a minigolf sight we were about to behold.

We love finding interesting and unique miniature golf courses. On our travels since 2006 we've seen some very different courses, and the Berryfields Crazy Golf course was certainly a minigolf mystery. Even the question mark was in reverse!?

The Crazy Golf course at Berryfields Holiday Park was the 50th we visited on our roadtrip and the 649th visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. It was also unique!

Some theming

Something blue

Is it a boat or a castle?

The view from the mystery hole

A zig-zag hole

With a truly terrifying middle bit

It'd take a very lucky shot to get an ace on this hole

The other side of the two holes

A circle of pencils!

And a volcano in the middle!

Crazy Golf at its very maddest!

Not believing what he's seeing

There's also a Pitch and Putt course at the Holiday Park, that looked to be a nice layout.

Minigolf Course Visits No. 104 & 105 - Ripon, Spa Gardens

On Sunday 7th June 2009 we visited Minigolf courses 104 & 105 on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Both were located at the Spa Gardens in Ripon, North Yorkshire.

Minigolf at Spa Gardens in Ripon
Course #104 was the 9-hole Crazy Golf on which holes 2, 3 and 4 were unplayable* due to severe flooding.

Course #105 was the 18-hole Putting Course next to the Crazy Golf and play was included in the £2.00 fee for the Crazy Golf. The Putting Green was much more playable than the Crazy Golf - in fact both Emily and I Aced hole 3, and I also got a hole-in-one on the 5th.
