The minigolf course at Youngs Park in Goodrington Sands, Paignton, Devon has been refurbished and is now Shipwreck Island Adventure Golf.

We played the old version of the course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour trip around the South West coast back in 2015. It was the 600th course we visited in the UK.

Lost World Adventure Golf course in Hemsby, Norfolk

Taking a look at the Lost World Adventure Golf course in Hemsby, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.

Lost World Adventure Golf course in the seaside town of Hemsby, Norfolk is my favourite course. It was one of the first courses we played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the theming there was superb.

We've revisited several times over the years and look forward to many more rounds there in the future.

Here's a look at the 9-hole themed course.

Visit the Lost World Adventure Golf website for more information about the course, opening time and prices.

New Adventure Golf course opening in Ware

A new Adventure Golf course is opening at the Van Hage Great Amwell garden centre in Ware, Hertfordshire.

The outdoor Adventure Golf course is currently under construction at the Blue Diamond Van Hage Great Amwell garden centre and is planned to open in May 2025.

It'll be another new course for us to visit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

The Blue Diamond Van Hage Great Amwell garden centre is also home to the East Herts Miniature Railway. Minigolf courses and Miniature Railways at venues are a brilliant combination!

Adventure Golf at The Den in Teignmouth

Looking back at our visit to the Adventure Golf course on Teignmouth Sea Front.

The 616th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was the dinosaur Adventure Golf course at The Den park in Teignmouth, Devon back in 2015.

Happy National Pencil Day

Today is National Pencil Day!

Minigolf pencils from our travels

Here's a selection of minigolf pencils we've collected over years.

We enjoy visiting courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and it's marvellous when we find one that has a branded pencil to score the game with.

It's a superb bit of minigolf marketing too.

We've seen several minigolf courses switching to virtual scorecards (and scoreboards), and app-based scorecards. Others are using a mixture.

We think, and hope, there's space and a place for all methods of scoring to continue in the game.

Our friend Pat Sheridan from The Putting Penguin minigolf review website (among his many other hats in the game) has contributed quite a few pencils and scorecards to the Crazy Golf Museum that he's picked up on his own minigolf adventures.

One of the most peculiar minigolf pencils we've seen is this one Pat sent a snap of, as it's a real life pencil for a virtual minigolf game!

If you'd like your minigolf course pencil (or other items of merch and ephemera) displayed and archived in the Crazy Golf Museum please do get in touch.

Mr Mulligans Space Golf in Newcastle upon Tyne

A look back at our visit to play at Mr Mulligans Space Golf course in Newcastle upon Tyne.

We swung by the Mr Mulligans Space Golf course in Newcastle upon Tyne on Miniature Golf Day 2018 to play the three courses at the indoor minigolf venue.

The three 9-hole courses on the adventure through Mr Mulligans Space Golf started at the 'Inventors Hangar', then moved through the 'Cosmic Storm' and onto the 'Lunar Crash'.

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

We've played several Mr Mulligans Adventure Golf courses on our travels, with the three layouts in Newcastle becoming the 841st, 842nd and 843rd visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. They were the 496th, 497th and 498th courses played.

You can find Mulligans minigolf courses in Basildon, Birmingham, Bournemouth, Bristol, Cheltenham, Hemel Hempstead, Milton Keynes, Newcastle, Norwich, Sidcup, Stevenage, Tonbridge and Worcester.

Visit the Mulligans website for more information on the brand's courses.
