Looking back at the old Crazy Golf course at the Abbey Meadows in Abingdon-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.

Crazy Golf at the Abbey Meadows in Abingdon-on-Thames

One of the courses we've visited and played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour travels but has since become a 'lost' course was the 10-hole Crazy Golf layout at the Abbey Meadows in my home town of Abingdon, Oxfordshire.

The course was the first one I ever played way back in the early 1980's.

The course had been in the park since the 1950's but was removed at the end of the 2016 season as part of renovations to the area.

It's always sad to see an old miniature golf course removed. Especially so when it's not replaced by a new one.

The last hole of the first course I ever played

In August 2007 the course became the 31st played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We revisited the Abbey Meadows Crazy Golf course in Abingdon in June 2012 and December 2014.

The course was very mossy on our visit in 2014

A look back at the Bompas & Parr rooftop crazy golf course at Selfridges Oxford Street in London.

Back in the summer of 2012 Bompas & Parr created a brilliant 'London Landmark in Cake Creations' crazy golf course on the roof of Selfridges on Oxford Street!

The course harked back to the early 1930's when the department store had a miniature golf course as part of the rooftop garden.

The Selfridges rooftop crazy golf course was the 298th course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in June 2012.

The 2012 edition was a brilliant idea and a tricky, but fun 9-hole layout. We played a number of tournaments up there and I became the Crazy Golf with Bompas & Parr Champion in August 2012.
