The two 9-hole Junkyard Crazy Golf Club courses in Manchester's Piccadilly Place were the 718th and 719th courses visited on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour last November. They are now the 421st and 422nd played.
Hole 1 and 2 on the Pablo course |
In my round on the Pablo Crazy Golf course I scored a 27 - the last hole, a Volcano, did me in with a five! It's got a very tough second putt up hill. I shot a 29 on the Frieda course, with the third hole doing me in with a costly seven!
There's a blacklight section of the course. One of my favourite types of minigolf design |
There are definitely some good hole-in-one opportunities on the course, with the loop-di-loop first hole and skate ramp fourth holes on Frieda my favourites.
The first hole on the Freida course is a good hole-in-one opportunity |

The skate ramp is another chance for an ace |
From the tee to the 'green' |
The whole venue has a very crazy feel and the minigolf holes and obstacles at Junkyard Golf are certainly unique.
Putt downhill... |
...into a bathtub! |
One of the more normal looking holes at Junkyard Crazy Golf |
Truly... |
...bizarre! |
While it wasn't the easiest hole on the course I did enjoy seeing an Alan Partridge themed hole there!
Hole 6 on the Freida course is an Alan Partridge hole! |
A-ha, it's a steep ramp |
A Crazy Golf hole Jed Maxwell would be proud of |
Visit the Junkyard Golf website for more details on the Manchester and London courses. We've heard good things about the FOUR London courses the team at Junkyard Golf have created.
We've visited 721 courses in the UK and overseas. One of those courses was in the exact same spot as Junkyard Golf. Back in 2012 there was a Christmas-themed Crazy Golf course set-up for six weeks. That course was the 313th played. I also won the Chrizy Golf Masters tournament there during that visit!
