Miniature Golf in Denton Gardens, Worthing through the years

Denton Gardens in Worthing, West Sussex has been home to miniature golf for 100 years.

Minigolf was first played in Denton Gardens on Tuesday 1st July 1924.

The gardens next to the seafront are now home to the 18-hole Splash Point Mini Golf course.

The 18-hole Splash Point Mini Golf course was the 181st played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in 2010 and we've returned several times since that first visit. It's one of my favourite courses to play as it's areal test of putting skill and a unique set of holes and obstacles to tackle.
