Crazy Golf at the Herrings Green Farm Birds Of Prey Activity Centre in Bedford

Minigolf in the Birds Of Prey Activity Centre at Herrings Green Farm in Wilstead, Bedfordshire.


Our friend and minigolf rival Cheryl Angel from the UrbanCrazy team recently visited the Birds Of Prey Activity Centre at Herrings Green Farm and spotted they have a Crazy Golf course!




It's not one that was on our radar - and it's not a million miles from us! You can find the Birds Of Prey Activity Centre at Herrings Green Farm at Cotton End Road, Wilstead, Bedfordshire, MK45 3DT. Visit the Birds Of Prey Activity Centre website for more info.

Lurking in the back of one of the photos Cheryl sent over was what appears to be a 'Humpty' obstacle! A popular character to be found on these Crazy Golf courses

The course is a DK Fibreglass style and is one of their '5 Star Crazy Golf' courses that has five cups to putt into on the green - I've scored a 'perfect' round on this type of course before!

Adventure Golf course at the Greensward Cafe in Clacton on Sea

The new Adventure Golf course at the Greensward Cafe in Clacton on Sea is now open and we've heard it's proving to be incredibly popular.


Mark at the Greensward Cafe sent along some nice photos showing the new minigolf course.


The new Greensward Adventure Golf course is on the site of an old Miniature Golf layout that we played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in May 2009.

We're really looking forward to a game on the new minigolf course. It looks excellent. Clacton on Sea is a great seaside town too and well worth a visit.


Greensward Adventure Golf is open from 9am 7-days a week. Check out the Greensward Cafe website and Facebook page for more details.

Bar Billiards in Jersey

Back in 2013 I was playing Bar Billiards against Brad 'The Fist' Shepherd at the Charles II in London when a pub character told us about a table at the Dog & Sausage pub in St Helier, Jersey.

On our holiday earlier this week we popped into the pub hoping for a game. Only to find that the table had been removed.

You can't play Bar Billiards at the Dog & Sausage in St Helier any more

We also had a look in the Merton hotel - venue for the 2014 World Championships - but there was no sign of a table there either.

Before leaving the island we really wanted to get a game in and when we spotted the words 'Bar billiards' on a pub chalkboard sign we thought we were in luck. Sadly the table at The Caesarea had also gone.

What's a more permanent way of advertising something than a chalkboard. Unfortunately the 'Bar billiards' listing on the sign at The Caesarea must of been on there quite some time

The landlady there was friendly though and managed to find out there were still tables at The Devonshire and The Mont Felard. Unfortunately we didn't have time to visit either pub before our flight left.

Bar Billiards is a great pub game, it's a real shame there aren't more tables around.

Check out the All England Bar Billiards Association (AEBBA) website for more details of the game and where to play.
