It became the 802nd course visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, and the 33rd we'd been to overseas.

It's a nice looking Swedish Felt minigolf course, but was unplayable because of the snowy conditions at the time of our visit.

There are three 9-hole courses on the adventure through Mr Mulligans Space Golf, starting at the 'Inventors Hangar', then moving through the 'Cosmic Storm' onto the 'Lunar Crash'.

The theming at the course is really well done, with my favourite section being the Moon.

A look back at our visit to play the Holey Molies Crazy Golf course in Skelton-in-Cleveland.

In September 2018 we reached another BIG minigolf milestone as we played at our 500th miniature golf course since our travels began in September 2006.

The 18-hole indoor Mini Golf course at Holey Molies Leisure Complex in Skelton-in-Cleveland, Saltburn-by-the-Sea, North Yorkshire was the 845th visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 807th in the British Isles.

It was brilliant to finally play the Holey Molies minigolf course as we'd heard so much about it since it opened.

Holey Molies Mini Golf in Skelton-in-Cleveland

One of the main things we'd heard was that the Mini Golf course at Holey Molies Leisure Complex boasted the 'World's Longest Mini Golf Hole' - measuring in at 264 feet!

Hole 1 - the 'longest minigolf hole in the world'. You had to start off upstairs, teeing-off up a ramp and then the ball is carried along the long viaduct before being deposited on the green

We'll need to revisit the course one day as it's undergone several updates and changes over the years. They also create a festive-theme for Christmas, that'd be fun to play.

We had a marvellous day out in Salturn-by-the-Sea, North Yorkshire and visited the 10-hole minigolf course on Saltburn Promenade back in September 2018.

The traditional seaside theming is very well done and I enjoyed putting through the Beach Hut.

It's a tricky course and it was pretty tough to get a hole-in-one there.
