A Crazy Golf postcard from Filey

A look at an old Crazy Golf course postcard from Filey, North Yorkshire.

This particular postcard was sent from Scarborough to Thirsk at 10.15am on the 29th August 1980.

Minigolf Postcard - Crazy Golf, Filey. F.0226. Printed & Published by E. T. W. DENNIS & SONS LTD., SCARBOROUGH. Posted from Scarborough to Thirsk at 10.15am on 29 Aug 1980

There's still a minigolf course at the same location in Filey. We played a previous incarnation of the current layout back in 2008 when it was the 9-hole Ocean Drive Crazy Golf course.

The course was refurbished in 2023 and we're yet to return for a game on the new layout.

Also in 2023 we were immortalised on a piece of Filey artwork (that was also turned into a postcard) by Leeds-based artist Jack Hurley (aka Loud Ribs) as part of his tongue-in-cheek, affectionate and characterful Rubbish Seaside 'Dystopia-on-Sea' collection!
