Pirate's Cove Original Adventure Golf & Family Fun Center in Wisconsin Dells

A look at the Pirate's Cove Original Adventure Golf & Family Fun Center in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, USA.

It's been brilliant to see different minigolf courses around the world thanks to the photos and information sent to us from friends from their travels.

Back in 2015 our friend and minigolf rival Mark 'The Horse Whisperer' Swain visited the USA and very kindly brought us back scorecards from the mini golf courses he visited out there.

One of the places he got to visit was Pirate's Cove Original Adventure Golf & Family Fun Center in Wisconsin Dells where he found five minigolf courses!

At the Pirate's Cove Original Adventure Golf & Family Fun Center you can play Black Beard's 18, Captain Kidd's 18, Pirate's Lookout 18, Pirate's Challenge 18 or Captain Hook's 19.

Mini Golf at Lister Gardens in Lyme Regis, Dorset

A look back at our visit to play the Lister Gardens Mini Golf course in Lyme Regis, Dorset.

The 601st course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was the Mini Golf course at Lister Gardens in Lyme Regis, Dorset.

The 18-hole Mini Golf layout was the second played on our tour of the South West of England in the summer of 2015 and the 365th played overall on our tour.

It was a very nice course, with some brilliant views of the seafront and The Cobb harbour area.

Check out the Lyme Regis Town Council website for more information on the course.

20 for 20 - The UK's first Crazy Golf course

20 for 20: 20 years of our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

This month we're celebrating two decades of our crazy minigolfing adventures.

And in 2026 Crazy Golf is 100 years old!

The first miniature golf course using the name 'Crazy Golf' opened on South Parade in Skegness, Lincolnshire, England in 1926 and the game is widely known by that name in the UK. Crazy Golf is seldom, if ever, used overseas except in tourist spots popular with UK holidaymakers.

In May 2015 The Original Crazy Golf course became the 363rd played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We'd first visited the course in 2011.

Mini Golf Grass Putting at Knaresborough's Castle Yard

A look at the Mini Golf Grass Putting course at Knaresborough's Castle Yard.

Last week I asked the question "Where in the world was this grass putting course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour?".

The answer was the Mini Golf Grass Putting course at Knaresborough Castle in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire.

The course was the first - and to date, only - one we've ever played that had a sallyport and secret tunnel running underneath it!

The tunnel was built in the late 13th or mid 14th century and was large enough for a small group of armed men to leave the castle secretly at night and launch an attack on any besieging troops.

The Grass Putting course at Knaresborough's Castle Yard became the 357th course played and 591st visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.
