Hollywood Adventure Golf in Great Yarmouth

Spotting an advert for the Windmill Theatre Crazy Golf course in Great Yarmouth.


My brother and charter member of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour Christopher Gottfried recently spotted this advert for the Windmill Theatre Crazy Golf in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.

We've both played the indoor minigolf course, but haven't yet had a game against each other there.

When our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour began in 2006 the course at the Windmill Theatre was one of only two indoor miniature golf courses in the UK. There are now more than 100 indoor courses!

One of the holes added since our first play of the course in 2007 was the Stars of the Windmill hole, which features a Wall of Fame showing all the stars that at one time or another performed at the Windmill Theatre.

The Crazy Golf course at The Windmill Theatre in Great Yarmouth was one of the first indoor minigolf courses to open in the UK.

The number of indoor minigolf courses has boomed in the last decade. When we first visited The Windmill Theatre course in 2007 there was one other indoor minigolf course in the UK. That one is also still there and can be found at Manning's Amusements in Felixstowe, Suffolk

Revisit and Replay of the Windmill Theatre Indoor Adventure Golf Course in Great Yarmouth

Playing the indoor Adventure Golf at Great Yarmouth's Windmill Theatre.


The course was originally the 26th played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour way back on the 9th of June 2007. In that time two extra holes have been added. The first one is the 'Stars of the Windmill' hole, which features a 'Wall of Fame' showing all the stars that at one time or another performed at the Windmill Theatre.

As a big fan of On The Buses this was the best hole on the course and the most playable too, with Emily scoring a Hole-in-One.

On The Buses Stars Stephen Lewis, Bob Grant and Anna Karen all performed at the Windmill Theatre back when it was a theatre.

The second new extra hole is the 12th, which is the 'World's Biggest Pinball Machine'!? Both Emily and I won Free Games on this hole in our match!

All of the holes on the 12-hole course are really crazy, and they even have a Christmas theme on one hole now!

The Beach Hole is very crazy indeed, it's the only hole I've ever played where you must Putt over sand!?
