On my first visit I scored rounds of 25, 27 and 35!
I also re-visited it with my former Dodgeball Associates 'Rowdy' Russell Fenner and Paul 'Barer' Harvey for a three-round event on the 10th May 2007.
In the Irregular Mini Golf Tour's Triple-O Thursday 36 Competition, Me and Paul tied having scored a total of 87(+11), Russell scored a 103(+31).
Richard & Humpty.
On the 20th November 2010 I was in St Albans so decided to visit the course to see what the course was like now.
Humpty was still there.
A blue Dolphin now 'Guards' the course from the corner!
I also noticed that the following two holes have changed slightly:
Hole 1 - May 2007
Hole 1 - November 2010
Hole 7 - May 2007
Hole 7 - November 2010
We have also played this type/design of course on a number of occasions on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, including:

- 61 Southsea - Crazy Golf
- 79 Gravesend (Woodlands Park) - Derelict Crazy Golf
- Visit 97 to Maidenhead's Riverside Gardens saw us meet another 'Humpty' and the course did use some similar Fibreglass obstacles, but it was an 18-hole Eternit course (we also revisited it on 10/10/10 at 9pm!)

There is also a 9-hole Putting Green at the Abbey View Golf Course at Verulamium Park, it was getting dark and very cold so I didn't play it on this visit.

I heard via Twitter that the Crazy Golf course in Verulamium Park, St Albans has been updated. Check out a pic from the course via a Twitter post from the course operators Abbey Hill Golf Course.
ReplyDeleteIn December 2013 we made a revisit to Verulamium Park to have a look at the new Crazy Golf course that replaced the one we'd previously visited and played.
ReplyDeleteThe course became the 543rd visited on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006.
