The Arnold Palmer Putting Course in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire

A look at the Arnold Palmer Putting Course in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire.

We had a brilliant break in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire in May 2018. The seaside resort has a number of minigolf courses, one of which is the classic Arnold Palmer Putting Course near the pier.

The Arnold Palmer Crazy Golf course in Cleethorpes was the 482nd played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Bognor Regis Mini Golf

A revisit to Bognor Regis Mini Golf in West Sussex.

I recently replayed the excellent Bognor Regis Mini Golf course.

It's always fun finding Arnold Palmer Putting Courses and the Bognor Regis example is superb.

We first visited this particular Crazy Golf course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in October 2011 when it became the 275th course played on our travels.

The Bognor Regis Mini Golf course was built in 1993 and was the last new Arnold Palmer Putting Course layout to be created.

Check out Bognor Regis Mini Golf on Facebook for more information.

A look at the Crazy Hills Putting course in Weston-super-Mare in Somerset.

A big thank you to our friend and minigolf rival Simon Brown for sending this photo along of the Crazy Hills Putting course in Weston-super-Mare. It's a brilliant Arnold Palmer Putting course and one we played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in 2011.

Arnold Palmer Putting Course in Great Yarmouth, June 2011

A look at the Arnold Palmer Putting Course in Great Yarmouth, June 2011.

This particular 18-hole course was the 22nd course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in June 2007.

There has been a miniature golf course on the same spot since the 1920's. First with a grass Putting layout, then the Arnold Palmer Putting Course and now with Castaway Island Adventure Golf.

We're looking forward to a return to the Great Yarmouth area for the Big Mini Golf Tour this summer.

Crazy Golf in Prestatyn

Revisiting the Crazy Golf course in Prestatyn, North Wales.

Crazy Golf in Prestatyn

We revisited the North Wales coast on Saturday afternoon and swung by one of our favourite courses - the Arnold Palmer Putting Course on Bastion Road in Prestatyn.

The course was the 147th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in 2009.

Crazy Golf in Prestatyn

As one of our local seaside towns we normally head to Prestatyn a few times a year. But the last visit either of us made was in June 2019!

Our revisit at the weekend looked like it could've been in the summer with how clear the sky was.

A big thanks to our friend, team-mate and minigolf rival Peter Jones for sending over these photos of the Arnold Palmer Minigolf Course at the Haven Caister-on-Sea Holiday Park in Norfolk.

It's one of the few remaining Arnold Palmer Putting Courses in the UK.

While the course has had some new obstacles added and fresh felt it is still easily recognisable as an Arnold Palmer Putting Course and appears to be in excellent condition.

Arnold Palmer Putting Courses

The Arnold Palmer branded miniature golf courses were part of the Arnold Palmer Enterprises empire set-up in 1961 that saw the legendary golfer's name licensed and franchised to a wide-range of activities and products including Dry Cleaning centres and an Arnold Palmer brand foot detergent.

The first Arnold Palmer Putting Course in the UK opened in Coventry in 1965 and was part of an Arnold Palmer Driving Range. A course was also located at a Driving Range in Sheffield.

Only around 16 of the 46 Arnold Palmer Putting Course locations still exist today.

Playing minigolf at Haven holiday parks

Our friends Sophia and Karl Moles played the course while on holiday Haven's Caister-on-Sea Holiday Park in Great Yarmouth back in 2012.

They've also played crazy golf at a few other Haven holiday parks over the year.

Hopefully we'll get to have a game on the course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in the future.
