Pop's Meadow Crazy Golf in Gorleston-on-Sea

A look at the Pop's Meadow Crazy Golf course in Gorleston-on-Sea, Norfolk.

My brother Christopher and his daughter Elena made a Crazy World of Minigolf tour visit to the Crazy Golf course at Pop's Meadow in Gorleston-on-Sea yesterday.

The 18-hole Crazy Golf course is the latest layout to exist at Pop's Meadow. Miniature Golf of one sort or another has been played on the site since the early to mid-1900's.

Emily and I played the 9-hole Arnold Palmer Putting Course that was at Pop's Meadow back in June 2010.

We originally visited Pops Meadow on the 10th May 2009, but on that occasion the course was closed. That course visit was the the 100th overall on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour!

The combined total of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour now stands at 1,071 courses visited since September 2006.

Christopher also swung by the old course at Pop's Meadow before the site was taken over by the new owners.

Many happy returns to the Crazy Golf Museum as it marks it's 13th birthday today.

Since then we've continued to fill the virtual museum to make it a treasure trove and archive for all things related to minigolf.

It's certainly been a very interesting 13 years!
