My brother Christopher spotted there was a minigolf course nearby on his recent holiday in Canada.
Unfortunately West Coast Mini Putt in Richmond, British Columbia was closed when he was able to swing by.

New haunted mini-golf course opening in October
A new haunted house mini-golf course is opening in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada this October.
The haunted indoor mini-golf course is opening at a haunted Victorian manor house in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada in time for Halloween.
Check out the Haunted Manor Mini-Golf and Ping Pong Lounge website for more information.
Halloween minigolf
We're big fans of haunted and scary minigolf courses so it was brilliant to hear about this new course. We've played a few Halloween and haunted-themed courses and holes on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, but not nearly enough!
It'll be interesting to see what other scarily decorated and themed minigolf courses we hear about in the run up to Halloween this year...

A gift from Paradise
Finding out about the miniature golf courses at Paradise Fun Park in Canada.
As a big fan of all things minigolf-related I was very pleased to receive a package from paradise - Paradise Fun Park in Canada that is.
I've been in touch with the team at the seaside resort in British Columbia since 2011 and it's really nice to speak to other people within the world of miniature golf. I love finding out about new and interesting courses, and it's always wonderful to get ephemera and merchandise for my collection and that of The Crazy Golf Museum.
Paradise Fun Park was built 27 years ago and is a family business. In that time millions of people from around the world have enjoyed visits to the park. There are two 18-hole mini golf courses at the park, with the Turf 'N Surf built in 1988 and the Treasure Island layout introduced two years later.
In addition to the two Miniature Golf courses, Paradise Fun Park is home to Bumper Boats, a Games Arcade, Snack Bar and Ice Cream Parlour, motel, and an RV park and camping ground. The park on Vancouver Island is located beside Parksville Bay and its sandy beaches.
You can find Paradise Fun Park at 375 West Island Highway, Parksville, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Visit the Paradise Fun Park website for more details of the park, opening times, prices and photos of the minigolf courses.
I look forward to visiting Paradise Fun Park in the future. It sounds like exactly my kind of place.
