Mini Golf Scoring and Loyalty Apps

A look at minigolf, crazy golf and adventure golf scorecard and loyalty apps.

On our travels to 1,077 courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour we've used several apps to keep the score in our games.

We've seen a number of venues have introduced a mobile app to compliment or replace the traditional paper scorecard. Some of these apps are really good and help to enhance the experience. We're still fans of pencil and paper to score our rounds and have amassed a large collection of scorecards from our travels. That said, when we find an app that works well we're more than happy to download and use it. We've found the best ones are at courses that have both traditional and digital options for marking your scores as it keeps everyone happy.

The minigolf apps we've found offer a range of scoring functions, loyalty and reward schemes, games, reviews, contests, information and tips.

These are the adventure golf, crazy golf and minigolf apps available on Android and iPhone that we've found on our miniature golfing adventures:

• Adventure Island Mini Golf in Birmingham
• Bangolf Arena tournament scoring systems
• Congo River Golf Scorecard App - eight locations in the USA

The sun is setting on the Adventure Golf course on Sea Road in Felixstowe 

It's one of our most visited courses and was originally the 7th we went to on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We last swung by in August last year.

The course opened in 1997/98 and was one of the first adventure golf layouts to open in the UK.

Caddy Shack Crazy Golf at Shanklin Seafront

Taking a look at the Caddy Shack Crazy Golf course at Shanklin Seafront on the Isle of Wight.

Catching up on a Crazy World of Minigolf Tour course visit from the summer of 2021!

Time flies and while we posted about Emily's trip to the Isle of Wight back in June 2021 we didn't get round to covering the individual course visits fully at the time.

This is the Caddy Shack Crazy Golf course at Shanklin Seafront.

Emily first visited the course on the 12th June and returned to play the layout on the 18th June.

Check out the Caddy Shack Crazy Golf website for further information.

Caddy Shack Crazy Golf at Shanklin Seafront was the 548th course played and 960th visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We've been to the Isle of Wight several times over the years and have been to most, but not all of the courses there. Some of the courses have changed over the years, with at least two of the courses undergoing refurbishments, and one changing twice since we first played it!

It's certainly interesting seeing the changes and developments on the island and we're looking forward to another trip there in the future.

We've now travelled to a total of 1,075 courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. Our adventures began on the mainland side of the Solent at Treasure Island Adventure Golf in Southsea back in September 2006.
