There are two annual minigolf 'days' dedicated to celebrating the game each year.
National Miniature Golf Day
The first is National Miniature Golf Day. It is always marked on the second Saturday in May. This year the date is Saturday 14th May.

Miniature Golf Day
The second of the annual minigolf days is Miniature Golf Day. It is always on the 21st September. This year that will be a Wednesday.
The first miniature golf course
The world's first miniature golf course opened in St Andrews, Scotland in 1867. The Himalayas Putting Course is still open and is a superb place to have a game.

Playing minigolf around the world
There are tens of thousands of miniature golf courses around the world and millions of people play the game each year.
When our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour began in 2006 there were around 600 courses in the UK and just two of those were indoor venues.
The game has boomed in recent years and there are now more than 1,000 adventure golf, crazy golf and mini-golf layouts in the country, with more new courses opening all the time. Traditionally, a lot of the courses were outdoors in seaside towns, but you can now find courses in towns and cities around the UK.
