Minigolf at Pop's Meadow.

Miniature Golf of one sort or another has been played on the site since the early to mid-1900's.

There used to be an Arnold Palmer Putting Course at Pop’s Meadow Putting Green in Gorleston-on-Sea. In May 2009 that layout became the 100th visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We played the 9-hole Arnold Palmer Putting Course that was at Pop’s Meadow back in June 2010.
