Visits to 36 more Miniature Golf courses in England and Scotland.
Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour of England and Scotland in April 2012 saw us visit a total of
49 Miniature Golf course locations. Of these we managed to play
thirteen of them. Unfortunately in Bispham, Fleetwood, Morecambe,
Bowness-on-Windermere,
Brockhole,
Ambleside,
Keswick,
Maryport, Silloth-on-Solway,
Helensburgh, Bannockburn, Stirling,
Perth,
St Andrews, Kirkaldy, North Berwick, Gullane, Dunbar, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Spittal and Sunderland we were unable to play the Minigolf courses there for one reason or another!
Below are a selection of photos from the course visits. You can see photos of the courses that we
did play at a blog post
here.

Other Minigolf course locations we visited on our trip were in Bispham where we couldn't see the Putting Course that was supposed to be near Norbreck Station and North Berwick in Scotland where we found that the Crazy Golf course at The Lodge had been removed.

Fellow Minigolf aficionado Peter ‘The Crazy Aced Assassin’ Jones has spotted that the old Crazy Golf course at Happy Mount Park in Morecambe has been replaced by a 16-hole(!) Pirate Adventure Golf course!
ReplyDeleteMore info can be found on the course website.
Emily and I visited Morecambe and Happy Mount Park on a roadtrip to Scotland last April. The Crazy Golf course was one of 49 course locations we visited, and one of the 36 we were unable to play on the trip.
