One of the first places we visited on what would become our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was Great Yarmouth in Norfolk.

We chose the seaside resort for a big minigolf trip in 2007 as we knew there were a lot of courses there.

We've returned a number of times since then, including a trip in May to help launch the Big Mini Golf Tour 2022. Minigolf has been played in the area since the early 20th century and there are plenty of options for a game in 2022.
