The Tee Party Crazy Golf course at The Club House in Spinningfields, Manchester

A look back at the Tee Party Crazy Golf course at The Club House in Spinningfields, Manchester.

I was in Manchester one day after this pop-up crazy golf course had closed in June 2016 so no clubs or balls were available for me to play. At least the holes were still there. The course became the 684th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

It was of a similar design to the crazy golf course nearby on Princess Parade and in the town's Stanley Park.

Sad news - The Oxford Place in Leeds is closing

There's still time to book in for a final time at The Oxford Place in Leeds.

Sadly The Oxford Place in Leeds is closing on Friday 31st July.

For the last nine years The Oxford Place has served up a wonderful range of 100% gluten free dishes.

We've had so many superb and memorable meals there over the years, and are looking forward to more before the end of July.

Do get booked in via The Oxford Place website if you can before they close!

For someone with Coeliac Disease and needing a 100% gluten free menu, The Oxford Place has been somewhere I've been able to dine out with friends and family (people with and without Coeliac Disease) with peace of mind.

Following the announcement on Instagram you can see that I'm not the only one who has had positive experiences at The Oxford Place. They will be missed by a lot of people.

If you can, do book in for a meal there before they close for a final time!

Crazy Golf at Holyhead Town Park in Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey, Wales

A look at the crazy golf course at Holyhead Town Park in Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey back in 2009.

We enjoyed a big minigolf tour of the Welsh coast in August 2009 where we visited 32 courses in nine days. One of those was the crazy golf course at Holyhead Town Park in Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey, Wales.

Looking online the course isn't there anymore and was removed sometime between July 2014 and December 2021.

We're glad we had the chance to play the unique layout on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour when we did.

In our minigolf match-up Emily won with a round of 53 to my score of 66. It's still one of the largest winning margins between us in the last 20 years!
