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!

The course was the 400th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour when we visited in May 2016.
The course is still there - and is now known as Rocco's Mini Golf. It's also been joined by a second course - Rocco's Crazy Golf.
