Crazy Golf on the cliff at Tolcarne Beach in Newquay

Another lost Crazy Golf course at Tolcarne Beach in Newquay.

During the summer of 2015 we spent two weeks on a minigolf tour of the South West of England.

There used to be a Crazy Golf course on the cliff at Tolcarne Beach in Newquay.

The course has been removed and the area is now a car park.

They graveled over paradise and put up a parking lot

Summer Greens at Churchill Square in Brighton

There's a Crazy Golf course on the rooftop car park at Churchill Square shopping centre in Brighton.

The pop-up miniature golf course is part of a summer of fun and players can pick up a putter for a FREE round on Level 7 of the Churchill Square car park in Brighton.

Sounds great to me.

I hope some of my friends down in Brighton get along for a game - and nab me a scorecard and some snaps.

The course is open now and is on the roof until the 15th July. Check out the Churchill Square website for more information and opening times.

This is obviously not the rooftop Crazy Golf course. But I wonder if you can see this course and the pier from Churchill Square's rooftop course?

Car park fireplace

It's not every day you pull into a hotel car park and find it's got its own fireplace. But that happened to us on our visit to Felixstowe last week!

An outdoor fireplace. Quite a novelty

It was a very cold day when we left the seaside town

The Premier Inn on Undercliffe Road West in Felixstowe was built on the site of the Ordnance Hotel - previously the seaside resort's oldest hotel.

A real fire would've been quite welcome

Crazy Golf in Towyn

No sign of the Crazy Golf course we played in Towyn in 2009.

Back in August 2009 we embarked on a BIG minigolf road-trip around the coast of Wales and while en route to Rhyl we swung by Knightly's Amusement Park in Towyn where we unexpectedly found a Crazy Golf course next to a car park.

One of the holes on the nice 9-hole course in Towyn back in 2009

Fast forward to September 2017 and we were once again heading along the North Wales coast and had the chance to visit Towyn. This time the large sign at the junction listed 'Mini Golf' on it, however when we had a look the great little Crazy Golf course we'd played in 2009 had been turned into a car park!

They paved paradise...

666 - the parking space of the Beast

I never realised the Merseyway Car Park in Stockport held a parking space for the devil!

Lucky we could find a parking space so easily on Saturday

Last month we visited Wigan. To get there from Stockport you have to travel passed Bolton on the Highway to Hell (aka the A666).

The old Crazy Golf course in Camber Sands

A revisit to the site of an old Arnold Palmer Crazy Golf course in Camber Sands.

After playing the fun Crazy Golf course at Pontins Camber Sands Holiday Park and before we headed to Hastings for a weekend playing in the World Crazy Golf Championships, Emily and I had a drive down the Old Lydd Road in Camber to have a look at what had become of the old Crazy Golf course.

Not a lot to be honest.

The site of an old Arnold Palmer Crazy Golf course in Camber Sands. Now just a patch of dusty gravelly land used as a car park. A real shame

Back in September 2010 we'd visited the site and found that the course had been ripped up to make way for a new Car Park. At least the old hut/kiosk was still there then.

You can see photos of the course as it was in 2002 on the excellent minigolf website MiniatureGolfer.com.

Arnold Palmer Crazy Golf course demolished to make way for a Car Park!


We took a trip to Camber Sands following our visit to Folkestone on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. Unfortunately the old Arnold Palmer Crazy Golf course on the Old Lydd Road in Camber Sands is no more - it's been demolished to make way for a Car Park!
