Playing the Pirate Island Adventure Golf course in Castleford.
On Sunday 12 April we were heading back from a trip in York and Knaresborough and decided to swing into Castleford for some minigolf action.

We didn't know it when we arrived, but Pirate Island Adventure Golf at the Junction 32 Outlet Shopping Village was celebrating its first birthday, with lots of people out on the two 18-hole courses, despite the chilly weather.

Pirate Island Adventure Golf has two 18-hole courses |
With 36-holes of minigolf available we decided to play the slightly less busy Smugglers Bay course and great fun it was too. There were plenty of hole layouts and obstacles we hadn't seen before.

This was a particularly nice looking hole involving a tunnel and plateau |
The Smugglers Bay course became the 358th played on our
Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 592nd visited overall. The Skull Cove course was the 593rd visited.
