We've played several City Golf Europe courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, and it's interesting to note how many new courses they've built that we're yet to visit!

Many thanks to our friend and minigolf rival Jam Trubridge for sending over these seasonal snaps of the Adventure Golf course at Rufford Abbey Country Park in Nottinghamshire. Due to the weather it wasn't played on this occasion.

It looks like an interesting layout, and it's got a lot of hole designs and obstacles we've not seen or played on our travels before.

The Adventure Golf course at Rufford Abbey Country Park is one of several we've got to get to in Nottinghamshire. So many have opened up since our last trip to the county on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour!

Crazy Golf at Stoke Park in Guildford

A look back at our visit to the Crazy Golf course at Stoke Park in Guildford, Surrey on National Miniature Golf Day in 2016.


Back in 2008 the Crazy Golf course in Guildford's Stoke Park became the 75th course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. Our visit this time was as part of the Surrey Invitational Minigolf Tournament that took place on National Miniature Golf Day 2016.


The Swedish Felt B-Run course used to be a 12-hole layout. In 2016 it had grown to be a full 18-holes, and had a very different playing surface - with astroturf 'grass' and raised 'bunkers'.


Check out the photos of the new 18-hole Crazy Golf course layout below.















The course was built by City Golf Europe

It's a very tricky layout

This hole was nigh on impossible to play!

This one was trickier now it has thicker 'grass'

The longest hole on the course

A loop-di-loop with felt on the outside of the obstacle!

Another very difficult hole to play
