Gold Mine Adventure Golf in Skegness (May 2011 & May 2015)

A look back at the Gold Mine Adventure Golf course and Cactus Canyon River Ride at Bottons Pleasure Beach in Skegness, Lincolnshire.

We played the Gold Mine Adventure Golf course in Skegness back in May 2011, and returned in May 2015.

The course had a fun river ride running through it too! That was the first - and to date only - time we've seen that on a minigolf course.

Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We need to revisit Skegness on our Crazy World of Minigolf as there have been several changes and additions to the minigolf courses in the seaside resort since the last time we were there.

Bottons Pleasure Beach in Skegness

Playing the Gold Mine Adventure Golf course and a ride on the Cactus Canyon River Ride at Bottons Pleasure Beach.

While wandering along the seafront in Skegness on the 20th May I had spotted what looked to be a Minigolf course from the beach, and indeed it was. It was the last of the courses we had seen on the MiniatureGolfer.com list that we had not yet 'scouted out' during our stay.

So, on the 21st we headed to the course for a round of Minigolf and a go on the Cactus Canyon River Ride!

Like all good themed Adventure Golf courses there was some great Pirate-y music playing on the course :-)

The course was the 239th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, and in our In our Irregular Mini Golf Tour Match-up...I defeated Emily 19(+1) to 25(+7).

The course was also described as 'Adventure Putting'. The first time we have played a course called this.
