Mr Mulligan's Lost World Adventure Golf in Cheltenham

A visit to the new Mr Mulligan's Lost World Adventure Golf course in Cheltenham.

On Friday 6th October we headed to The Brewery Quarter in Cheltenham to check out Mr Mulligan's two brand new 18-hole Lost World Golf courses.

There's some great theming throughout the 36-hole venue

The layouts became the 784th and 785th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

First up was the 'Neptune's Mist' course and we were lucky enough to be the first people to play a round on it after the Mayor of Cheltenham had cut the red ribbon to officially open the course.

We had a great round on the huge course and it was nice to play with a group of novice players - who showed some real putting potential as we made our way round the twists and turns of the course.

A loop-di-loop obstacle I actually liked playing for a change!

Emily set the clubhouse course record with her round of 42. The Neptune's Mist course has a par of 38 and Canopy Creek is a par-40 layout. After playing both I'd say Neptune's Mist should be a par-40 too as there are some very trick holes on the course and it's tough to score an ace. In fact our group of six players failed to score a single hole-in-one!

As close as you can get without scoring an ace

The results from our round saw Emily in first place on 42, I was one shot back on 43 after scoring a four at the 18th. Ant was third on 49, Georgia was fourth on 51, Charlie was fifth with 56 and Lisa was sixth with a round of 60.

After a short break we picked up our putters and headed to the 'Canopy Creek' courses for our next game. Emily once again picked up the win - shooting 38 to my 41 - and this time scored three aces too!

We really enjoyed our visit to Mr Mulligan's Lost World Golf, Cheltenham and thought the theming was really well done. The staff were friendly and the courses were fun to play.

Mr D's Magnificent Pie Machine at Cheltenham Market

As a fan of fun business and marketing gimmicks I enjoyed spotting Mr D's Magnificent Pie Machine at Cheltenham Market last week. The steampunk inspired stall is certainly eye-catching.

Minigolf update

Latest update from our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.


We had a superb weekend road-trip and traveled around Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire. And a little bit of Wales. It was nice to play another stack of minigolf courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour too.

We're now up to 791 course visits on our travels since September 2006! It's crazy to think that we're so close to the BIG 800th course visit. Where will it be...?

The course below was an unexpected discovery on a visit to Stourport on Severn. Wonderful.

We've now visited 791 miniature golf courses. 763 of them have been in the UK, with 28 overseas

Here's a breakdown of the courses we visited over the weekend - the full list can be seen on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour page:


Lots of blog posts, videos and photos to follow...

Iffy lift painting

I'm not sure the image in the painting next to the lifts at the Cheltenham Holiday Inn Express inspires confidence!

You can also check out an interview I did with SoGlos magazine ahead of the launch - Interview with mini golf professional Richard Gottfried.
