A lost minigolf course - Pirate Crazy Golf at Pontins Camber Sands Holiday Park

A look at the Pirate Crazy Golf course at Pontins Camber Sands Holiday Park in East Sussex.

Last week I asked the question "Where in the world was this minigolf course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour?".

The answer was the Pirate Crazy Golf course at Pontins Camber Sands Holiday Park in Camber Sands, East Sussex.

The Pirate Crazy Golf course at Pontins Camber Sands became the 585th visited and 351st course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour when we swung by for a round in October 2014.

Pontins Camber Sands Holiday Park closed in 2023 so the course is not accessible.

From the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour archives - Medieval-themed Adventure Golf in Tamworth

A look at the medieval-themed adventure golf course at Namco Funscape in Tamworth back in 2017.

This was the medieval-themed adventure golf course at Namco Funscape in Tamworth, Staffordshire.

We played the course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in September 2017.

We haven't seen many medieval-themed courses on our travels.

Interestingly the course was half indoors and half outdoors - not something we've seen all that often either. Some of the outdoor holes were also under shelter.

One of the holes is baseball-themed and you tee-off with a baseball bat rather than a putter.

Arnold Palmer Putting course at Pop’s Meadow in Gorleston-on-Sea, Norfolk

A look at the old Arnold Palmer Putting course at Pop’s Meadow in June 2010.

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.

There is still a crazy golf course at Pop’s Meadow. The area is now Pop’s Meadow Kids Amusement Park and Café.

Check out the Pop’s Meadow Kids Amusement Park and Cafe Facebook Page for more information.

Arnold Palmer Putting Courses.

Arnold Palmer Putting Courses are a design classic and include all the elements that make a Crazy Golf course great – the Windmill, the Waterwheel, an Obelisk, ledges, bunkers, traps, flat loops, hills and plateaus – everything laid out to make a course interesting, testing and most of all fun!

The Arnold Palmer branded miniature golf courses were part of the Arnold Palmer Enterprises empire set-up in 1961 that saw the legendary golfer's name licensed and franchised to a wide-range of activities and products including Dry Cleaning centres and an Arnold Palmer brand foot detergent.

By 1966 there were 130 Arnold Palmer Putting Courses in the USA, with ten in Japan and some in South Africa.

Take a look at this blog post about "Arnold Palmer Putting Courses in the UK" for further information.

A Great Yarmouth miniature golf postcard from 1927

Stepping back in time for a look at minigolf in Great Yarmouth in the 1920s.

One of the earliest miniature golf postcards I have in my collection is this one showing the Putting Green on Marine Parade in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.

Putting Green, Great Yarmouth. Postcard postally used on the 11th November 1927

The postcard was sent to Hayes, Middlesex on the 11th November 1927.

You can see the Hippodrome in the left of the image and this building is still standing and is the Hippodrome Circus on St George's Road. If you visit now you'll find a row of buildings in front of the Hippodrome itself!

You will also find that there is still a minigolf course on the same spot as the Putting Green.

Now called Castaway Island Adventure Golf the site was an Arnold Palmer Putting Course that we played a number of times on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Adventure Golf at Beacon Park in Lichfield, Staffordshire

A look at the new adventure golf course at Beacon Park in Lichfield, Staffordshire.

We swung by the adventure golf course at Beacon Park in Lichfield during an afternoon in the city on the way back home from a trip to visit family and friends in East Anglia.

Back in September 2017 we played the Eternit-style miniature golf course at Beacon Park. That layout became the 461st played and 775th visited on our travels.

The new course replaced the crazy golf course in the park and covers the same location

This particular Eternit miniature golf obstacle has been retained in the new course layout, with some modifications as can be seen below

The new adventure golf course at Beacon Park opened in May this year.

The adventure golf course at Beacon Park is a 9-hole outdoor woodland-inspired adventure golf layout.
