We've now been to a total of 1,075 miniature golf courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006, with 1,017 of them in the British Isles. Our travels have been recognised by the Guinness World Records, and Richard is a record holder for "Most miniature golf courses visited".

When our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour travels began in 2006 there were around 600 courses in the British Isles.

Of the original list of 600 we've still got to visit 39 of the public courses. In addition there are a further 150 courses at pay to enter attractions, hotels and holiday parks that we've not yet been to.

On top of these 189 courses from the original list there are hundreds more courses that have opened over the last 18 years! We tracked 320 courses that opened between May 2020 and July 2023. Between August 2023 and September 2024 a further 150 courses opened, or were in development. And between September 2024 and December 2024 another 27 new courses have been announced.

As of today there are approximately 1,370 minigolf courses around the UK and British Isles (including Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man, and other islands). This includes public courses, as well as those at pay to enter attractions, holiday parks, hotels and other 'non-standard' locations.

For information about new minigolf, crazy golf, and adventure golf courses opening in the UK take a look at the posts with the 'New course' tag here on the Ham & Egger Files minigolf blog where we regularly post updates about new places to play the game.
