We did find the courses, and very good they were too.
Course played #201 was the 18-hole Minigolf Putting Course at Knaresborough's Conyngham Hall Gardens. #202 was the 9-hole Crazy Golf course next to it. In all of our travels the Crazy Golf was definitely the best example of its type (that being a fibreglass base with metal obstacles). We've played versions of the course that have been truly horrible, but this - along with the very well maintained Putting Course - were a pleasure to play. There was also a Mini Golf/Pitch & Putt course that looked fantastic and was quite busy too, unfortunately we didn't have time to play it as well.

As the winner of the Knaresborough-leg of the Irregular Mini Golf Tour competition I received a wood-turned Mushroom 'Trophy', made by a local artisan. A very fine addition to my trophy shelf!
Knaresborough itself was a lovely town to spend some time in, with some very nice views to be had (the town's train bridge/viaduct over the river looks great) and many houses throughout the town have painted doorways, and some have artwork like the Civil War piece below.

The Games in Parks section of the Harrogate District Council website also lists an 18-hole Putting course at Knaresborough's Castle Yard!
ReplyDeleteAnother reason to visit the great town and a future course to play on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.
On Saturday 11 April 2015 we revisited Knaresborough and this time played the Castle Yard Putting course.
ReplyDeleteWhile in town we had a look at the Crazy Golf, Minigolf and Pitch & Putt layouts at Conyngham Hall too.
