Alpine Adventure Golf in Llandudno

A revisit to the Alpine Adventure Golf course on the Great Orme in Llandudno.

Last August we revisited the Alpine Adventure Golf course at the Llandudno Ski and Snowboard Centre on the Great Orme in Llandudno, Wales. We'd originally visited and played the course during our road-trip around the Welsh coast in 2009.

This time we didn't play the minigolf, but instead had a couple of goes on the toboggan run!

What a view

There are three minigolf courses on the Great Orme mountain in Llandudno. In August we also revisited the Rocky Pines Adventure Golf course at the summit, as well as visiting the Great Orme Family Golf course halfway up on the town side for the first time.

Minigolf courses on the Great Orme mountain in Llandudno

A revisit to the Great Orme mountain in Llandudno.

While visiting the seaside resort of Llandudno in Wales we took the opportunity to venture up the Great Orme mountain. We'd been up there once before, during our minigolfing road-trip around the Welsh coast in 2009.

The Great Orme is home to three miniature golf courses, one of which we were unaware of in 2009.

Half way up is the 9-hole Alpine Adventure Golf course at Llandudno Ski Centre. The ski centre is well worth a visit. We had a go on their very reasonably priced toboggan ride on this occasion. You can get a combination ticket with the Adventure Golf too.

The Alpine Golf course at Llandudno Ski Centre is very well themed

At the summit is the 18-hole Rocky Pines Adventure Golf course. It's the highest minigolf course in the British Isles! We played the course in very gusty conditions last time.

There are some exceptional views from the very nice Rocky Pines Adventure Golf course

Half way down is Great Orme Family Golf, a 9-hole Pitch & Putt course. We found out about the course following our first visit and we've since collected some nice old postcards showing the location. Our visit on Saturday 18th August marked our 834th minigolf course visit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006.

The Great Orme Family Golf Pitch & Putt course looks like a tremendous course and I look forward to having a round there in the future

Llandudno is a wonderful spot for a day out or weekend away. We had a marvellous time and are looking forward to our next trip to the North Wales coast already.

More photos from our visits to the three courses to follow on the blog and our social media channels soon.

A lovely postcard view

We had a brilliant time at the recent North Wales Postcard Club's fair in Craig-y-Don, Llandudno.

The pick of the 19 miniature golf postcards we found at the event was this view of Kleingolfplatz Überlingen next to Lake Constance (Bodensee in German) and the Swiss Alps in the distance.

The postally unused postcard shows 'Bodensee-Promenade mit Schweisser Alpen' and 'Kleingolfplatz Überlingen'. Published by Erwin Burda, Freiburg

This postcard was just 10p!

A note on the unposted card says the visit took place on the 29th August 1960. It always amazes me to find cards in such excellent condition after so much time.

It's always marvellous to see views such as this. I wonder how many golf balls were lost in the lake over the years?

Minigolf Course Visit No. 142 - Alpine Adventure, The Great Orme/Y Gogarth, Llandudno

There are two Adventure Golf courses on the Great Orme (Y Gogarth) mountain in Llandudno.

The first one we played was just under half-way up, at the Ski Centre and was a 9-hole 'Alpine Adventure' Minigolf course.
