Adventure Golf at Breydon Water Holiday Park

A look at the mini golf course at Parkdean's Breydon Water Holiday Park in Burgh Castle, Norfolk.

Many thanks to our friend Sophia Cook for sending us these snaps from her recent break at Parkdean's Breydon Water Holiday Park in Burgh Castle.

The course looks to be an Arnold Palmer Putting Course, or at least in the style of one - especially the windmill and waterwheel obstacles.

Find out more on the Breydon Water Holiday Park website.

Prestwick Putting

A look at the Putting Green at Prestwick Beach.

Thanks to our friend and minigolf rival John Moore for sending over this snap of the Prestwick Putting course from his recent trip to Scotland.

He was there a little early in the day so didn't get a chance for a round.

We visited the course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour on a very rainy day back in 2014.

Aces Minigolf Gloucester at Gloucester Garden Centre

The Aces Minigolf Gloucester course at Gloucester Garden Centre recently reopened and is now open every day.

British Garden Centres have taken over the running of the garden centre and the established Aces Minigolf Gloucester course can be found outdoors at the rear of the store.

We visited the Aces Minigolf Gloucester course in July 2021 to play a few rounds and compete in the Aces Minigolf Gloucester Invitational Tournament - that event was the first minigolf competition we'd played in since 2019 and it was fun to be back in action. When we played the layout it was a 12-hole course. It's since been upgraded to an 18-hole course.

Check out the Aces Minigolf Gloucester website for more information, opening times and prices for the 18-hole outdoor course.

Aces Minigolf Gloucester was the 967th course visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 550th played since September 2006.

Crazy Golf at Roath Park in Cardiff

There's a Crazy Golf course at Roath Park in Cardiff.

Cardiff's Roath Park is now home to a Crazy Golf course.

The layout was spotted by multiple-time World Crazy Golf Champion Marc 'The Force' Chapman and his family on a recent visit to the city.

It's a fibreglass minigolf course, and has a Humpty obstacle.

We haven't been to Cardiff for a few years now, and we'll have to swing by the park next time we visit.

The Dragon's Quest Mini Golf at Fontygary Leisure Park in Rhoose, Barry, Wales

A look back at a visit to The Dragon's Quest Mini Golf course at Fontygary Leisure Park in Rhoose, Barry, Wales.

I played The Dragon's Quest Mini Golf at Fontygary Leisure Park back in May 2019.

It was great to have a round on the 18-hole Dragon's Quest Adventure Golf course. It looked really nice and had some interesting features, most noticeably the BIG red dragon!
