Pitch & Putt and Crazy Golf at Shibden Park in Halifax

A look at the Pitch & Putt and Crazy Golf courses at Shibden Park in Halifax.


We visited Halifax in West Yorkshire for the first time on Saturday. We've been meaning to go there since we moved north in 2016 and finally found some time to a look round. We really liked the town and are looking forward to a return visit.


While there we played at the new Galactic Golf indoor adventure golf. Once we'd wandered around the town centre we drove out via Shibden Park where we knew there was a four-hole(!) Crazy Golf course.

Our friend and minigolf rival Brad Shepherd had played the course in 2015 and we were intrigued by the layout.


It certainly looks a lot different now to the summer of 2015!

Unplayable

Shibden Park is a nice spot and we enjoyed our walk round it. We also found it's home to a miniature railway.

As the park is quite large and we didn't fancy a wild goose chase looking for the Crazy Golf course I called Brad and he told me the course was next to a Pitch & Putt course. Another bonus.


Unfortunately as it's currently out of season neither the Pitch & Putt or Crazy Golf was playable on this occasion.

But the Crazy Golf was certainly a sight to behold!

Blimey!

The Pitch and Putt course at Shibden Park was the 936th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. The Crazy Golf course the 937th.

Shibden Park Crazy Golf course

Many thanks to my friend and minigolf rival Brad 'The Fist' Shepherd for sending along these photos of the 4-hole(!) Crazy Golf course at Shibden Park in Halifax, West Yorkshire.

The course costs 50p a go - for which you get to play the four-holes three times each.

Brad's a frugal sort of character and wasn't swayed by the price of a round, so I've no idea what the course plays like. If we're up that way we'll swing by to have a look and a quick play on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.
