Christopher has now been to 28 courses in nine overseas countries. Emily and I have visited 871 courses in the British Isles and 39 courses in eleven overseas countries for a total of 910 course visits. The combined total of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour is now up to 926 courses since September 2006.

The Crazy Golf course in Goodrington Sands, Devon was the 600th course visited and the 370th we had played up until that point. A large number of courses we visit on our travels tend to be closed, derelict, abandoned or out-of-season.
A visit to the Crazy Golf course at Fletchers Family Garden Centre in Eccleshall, Staffordshire.
On Thursday 18th April we visited Fletchers Family Golf Centre in Eccleshall, Staffordshire for a game on the Crazy Golf course there.
The Crazy Golf course at Fletchers Family Garden Centre was the 863rd we visited
The course had at one point been an 18-hole layout, but holes 4 to 7 were nowhere to be seen. It looks like they were removed and the area flattened. The scorecard still shows 18-holes, but the numbered holes leap from hole 3 to hole 8.
A look at the Crazy Golf course
The Crazy Golf has the look of a continental European Beton style concrete course to it, albeit with a felt surface and some additional Crazy Golf obstacle elements to it.
Hole 9 - which is now the 4th hole on the course
We had a fun round on the tricky layout and the result was a one-shot victory to me with a score of 47 to Emily's 48.

Not the where you want to be on this type of hole!

As a bonus we also got to have a ride on the Hilcote Miniature Railway at Fletchers Family Garden Centre. The excellent little railway is located next to the Crazy Golf course. We were really impressed with the layout.
Both the Crazy Golf and the Miniature Railway were £1.50 each, a bargain. We saw some pigs, ducks, Shetland ponies, rheas and a chicken during the journey.
