A look at new miniature golf courses in the UK.
There are a number of new minigolf courses being built, in development or planned to open in the UK.

Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour
Before the pandemic we were closing in on visiting the final 40 courses of the original 600 we set out to play in 2006. We're also very close to hitting 1,000 course visits overall.
Before the lockdown hit and our out-of-home putting was paused we'd visited 948 courses since September 2006.
We're now up to 949 course visits as we found a Pitch & Putt course on one of our daily walks last month.
We'd had a very strong start to the year and visited 20 courses in the first 20 days of 2020.
Who knows where and when our 950th course visit will be...?

We visited Blackpool for the first time this year on the 3rd September. It was really nice to get back to the seaside.
While there we had a catch-up with Ian and Paul from the Blackpool Fulfilling Lives and Blackpool and the Fylde Street Angels - the two groups that have joined forces to refresh and reopen the Princess Parade Crazy Golf course on Blackpool's North Shore.
It was brilliant to talk to people in real life for a change!
It's a pleasure to be a part of the Princess Parade Crazy Golf project and I've enjoyed working with the teams at Blackpool Fulfilling Lives and Blackpool & the Fylde Street Angels, Blackpool Council and the Blackpool Civic Trust to get the course reopened.
The area has been given a massive clean up by the project team and a number of the holes have required repairs.
The Princess Parade Crazy Golf course will be opening next year once the refurbishment work is complete and it is safe to do so.
Take a look at my blog post about the Princess Parade Crazy Golf course for more info and photos of the course.
