Crazy Golf at Castle Park in Penrith, Cumbria

A visit to the Crazy Golf course at Castle Park in Penrith, Cumbria.

A look at the Crazy Golf course at Castle Park in Penrith in July 2025.

Emily swung by the Crazy Golf course at Castle Park in Penrith, Cumbria on a trip to the Lake District town.

Like it's sister venue in Keswick, the outdoor course in Penrith is known as 'Obstacle Golf'.

The Obstacle Golf course at Castle Park does look quite different to the course at Hope Park in Keswick.

It's always interesting to see a unique miniature golf course.

Cumbria also offers some superb views from the parks.

Castle Park in Penrith is also home to a Putting Green.

Visit the Penrith Castle Park web page on the Westmorland & Furness Council website for more information the park and its facilities.

Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

The Obstacle Golf course at Castle Park in Penrith became the 1,084th course visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006, and the 1,023rd in the British Isles.

We're looking forward to returning to the Lake District in the future and spending more time in Penrith as it's one of the towns there neither of us had been to until Emily visited. We last went there together in the summer of 2023.

No Mini Golf in Colchester anymore

A Crazy World of Minigolf Tour revisit to Colchester, Essex.

The Miniature Golf course in Colchester's Castle Park in 2009

We first visited Colchester and the town's Castle Park in December 2009 when we found a Mini Golf Putting course and an Eternit Miniature Golf course. As it was out of season neither course was open.

Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour took us back to Colchester in May 2011 and on that visit we found the Putting course had been dug up and replaced with a play area. The Crazy Golf course was still there and had received a refurbishment.

On our way to a day out at the seaside in Clacton on Saturday 27 June we swung by Colchester to see if we could have a game on the Miniature Golf course. However, we found that this has now been replaced by another play area.
