Crazy Golf postcards from Ilfracombe

A look at a pair of miniature golf postcards from Ilfracombe.


I bought this pair of crazy golf postcards from Ilfracombe, Devon at the last postcard fair I attended.

Both were published by the Taw Valley Wholesale Co, Ilfracombe. Neither are postally used.

We visited the course on our tour of the South West in the summer of 2015. It hasn't changed much at all.

    It's changed completely. The location shown on the postcard is now a carpark infront of the landmark theatre. The crazy golf course was demolished and relocated further along the front

    Excellent knowledge. Thank you.

    The look of the 'new' relocated course does appear to be very similar to the old course depicted on the postcards.
