Playing the indoor Crazy Golf course at Roxy Ball Room in Leeds.
On Saturday 26th November we revisited the Mini Golf course at Roxy Ball Room in Leeds. This time we were able to get a game.
Roxy Ball Room's indoor Mini Golf course
In our match-up on the indoor Crazy Golf course I won with a score of 30, Emily was second with 35, while our friend Cat picked up bronze with a score of 36.

We first swung by Roxy Ball Room in February on our first trip to Leeds. Unfortunately on that occasion we weren't able to play as the course didn't open until 4pm, although the venue was open from midday.

The Mini Golf course at Roxy Ball Room in Leeds was the 673rd course visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and became the 419th played.
The 6th hole was fun to play
A game of Mini Golf on the 9-hole course at Roxy Ball Room costs £5 per player.

While on a recent trip to the Isle of Wight we managed to play a course that we didn't have time to on our only previous visit to the island back in 2009.

In our match-up on the Puckpool Park 'Mini Golf Garden' course I picked up the victory with a score of 30. Emily was runner-up with a round of 33, with Cat Patterson in bronze with a score of 39.
A nice straight shot was required on this tough hole

The sign at the gates also said there was Putting in the park as well. We couldn't see any though.
There's lots to do in Puckpool Park. As well as the Crazy Golf course we also had a look at the Mortar Battery Emplacements
Could this be where the Putting course should be?
We did however see a sign for Petanque. They've got a very nice terrain there. And a Petanque team.
If we'd had more time we'd have had a game of Petanque. A fine sport

All in all Puckpool Park was a nice spot for a round of fun minigolf. We'd play there again.
We played the course in some nice weather. But there'd obviously been quite a lot of rain earlier in the day
The Puckpool Park Mini Golf Garden was the 415th course we've played and the 705th visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.
At course number 705
We've played a lot of types of minigolf over the years, but the Puckpool Park course was the first we'd seen called a 'Mini Golf Garden'.

A visit to Mr Mulligan's latest Adventure Golf course.
You can't miss the entrance to the Lost World Golf!
Last year we heard about a new minigolf venue opening in Stevenage and Mr Mulligan's latest course - Lost World Golf - opened at Stevenage Leisure Park earlier this year.

We've been itching to get along for a game and earlier this week we had a round on the two nautical themed courses. We loved it.

The courses became the 685th and 686th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, and were the 403rd and 404th played.

Our group hit the Jungle Explorers course for round one and followed this with a game on the Ocean Adventurers layout.

There is some excellent theming throughout the indoor Adventure Golf venue - not least the giant wooden submarine that sits in the middle of the two courses!

What an obstacle/hole/feature!
The inside of the submarine contains a very very tough hole to play!
There's a real mix of obstacles and hole types and there's even a section of holes where you are plunged into blacklight - one of my favourite types of minigolf environments to play in.
