Millport Crazy Golf on the Isle of Cumbrae

A look at the Crazy Golf course in Millport on the Isle of Cumbrae.


A big thanks to our friend and minigolf rival John Moore for sending over this photo of the Crazy Golf course in Millport on the Isle of Cumbrae, Scotland from his recent trip there.

Earlier this summer another of our friends, Seth Thomas, sent us a snap of the course.

We played the course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour ten years ago while in Scotland for the Commonwealth Games. It's a lovely island to visit and just a short ferry voyage from Largs.

One of the postcards in our collection is this nice Valentine's "Silveresque" style postcard that shows the Crazy Golf course as it looked in the 1960s. It's still recognisable today. The course has had the addition of felt/carpet to the holes since we visited a decade ago. Hopefully we'll return one day.
