Porth Island Krazy Golf in Newquay

A look at the Porth Island Krazy Golf course in Newquay, Cornwall.

We played the Porth Island Krazy Golf course in Newquay on our road-trip around the South West coast of England back in June 2015.

The course was similar to a Beton Concrete type of miniature golf course and interesting, if a little too difficult, to play.

The course was the 47th visited on our two-week holiday, the 377th played overall and the 646th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Visit the Newquay Football Golf website for more information on the Porth Island Krazy Golf course.

We've now been to 956 courses since September 2006.

There's a new minigolf course Greens of Padstow now. We look forward to playing it in the future.

Crazy Golf at Penwith Pitch & Putt in St Erth, Cornwall

It was one of 62 courses we visited during our two week holiday around the South West coast back in 2015.

A lost Crazy Golf course in Falmouth

During the summer of 2015 we had a two week road trip around the South West of England.

During that time we found and played a number of courses.

Sadly some of the places we visited were home to lost courses.

One of the more recognisable locations was at Gyllyngvase Beach in Falmouth, Cornwall. The course appeared on a number of postcards over the years.

While the course is now part of a garden it is still clear that it was once a Crazy Golf layout.

Crazy Golf and Pitch & Putt at Trenance Gardens in Newquay

A look at the Crazy Golf and Pitch & Putt course at Trenance Gardens in Newquay.

During the summer of 2015 we visited 62 miniature golf courses on a two week road trip of the South West of England.

Two of those were at Trenance Gardens in Newquay, Cornwall.

Putting Green at Killacourt in Newquay

During the summer of 2015 we visited 62 miniature golf courses on a two week road trip of the South West of England.

One of those was the Putting Green at Killacourt in Newquay. Unfortunately it wasn't open for the season during our visit.

Crazy Golf at The Whitehouse Inn, Truro

There's a Crazy Golf course at The Whitehouse Inn, Truro, Cornwall.

I believe the minigolf course at The Whitehouse Inn is a fairly new addition to the pub. It's great to see a pub beer garden including the activity.

The course is a fibreglass layout made by the team at DK Fibreglass. I wonder if it's got a Humpty on it?

The course at The Whitehouse Inn is similar to this fibreglass layout we've seen a number of times on our travels

We've always been surprised at how few pubs have a miniature golf course set-up for customers. We'd certainly be inclined to visit more pubs and spend longer in them if they had fun activities too.

The last pub beer garden Crazy Golf course we visited was at The Railway Hotel in Garswood, St Helens

We're looking forward to having a game on The Whitehouse Inn's Krazy Golf course when we're next down that way.

Back in 2015 we spent two weeks exploring the south west coast and visited 62 minigolf courses. Only one of those was at a pub.

Beer garden Crazy Golf at The Alexandra Inn in Penzance, Cornwall

Minigolf is certainly booming at the moment and we have seen an increase in venues opening up as alternatives to the pub by offering a crazy, mini or adventure golf course combined with a bar, food and cocktails.

My Minigolf and Crazy Golf courses in Pub Beer Gardens blog post is due an update too as there have been a few more pub courses open up around the country.

Visit The Whitehouse Inn website for more information on the course.

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

Crazy Golf at Tolcarne Beach in Newquay

Looking for the 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.

While we found the hut for the Crazy Golf at Tolcarne Beach in Newquay the course itself had gone.

Pitch & Putt at Crooklets Beach in Bude, Cornwall

A look at the Pitch & Putt course at Crooklets Beach in Bude, Cornwall.

I really like seeing golf signs painted on roofs

During the summer of 2015 we visited 62 miniature golf courses on a tour of the South West of England.

One of those was the Pitch & Putt course at Crooklets Beach in Bude, Cornwall.

A little Pitch and Putt sign

We didn't have time to play it, but did play the Crazy Golf course at Bude Haven Recreation Ground.

Putting course at the Boating Lake in Perranporth, Cornwall

A look back at our visit to the Putting course at the Boating Lake in Perranporth, Cornwall.

During our summer holiday around the South West of England back in 2015 we visited 62 miniature golf courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Perranporth was one of the nicest seasides we've visited on our travels

One of those courses was the Putting Green at the Boating Lake in Perranporth Gardens, Cornwall.

What a setting for a game of miniature golf

The course was the 638th visited on our tour.

A sign for the Putting course

A pair of signs for the boating and putting in Perranporth 

The prices for the Putting course

Fitting 62 course visits into two-weeks was a BIG task and it wasn't possible to stop at, or play all of the Mini, Crazy and Adventure Golf courses, or all the Putting Greens and Pitch & Putts we saw on the trip, or those we'd heard about beforehand.

Penguin Park at a Mini-Golf course on an old Newquay postcard

Finding another great scene on an old minigolf postcard.

I'm always on the look out for old minigolf postcards and I found a cracker at an antiques fair in Stockport today for just 25p.

No sign of the Mini-Golf course on this card, except on the caption

The Harvey Barton Viewcard shows the Penguin Park at the Mini-Golf Course, Newquay, Cornwall and was sent from Newquay on the 27 July 1970.

We played the course - now called Gilmore's Golf - during our two-week holiday around the coast of South West England back in 2015.

Gilmore's Golf in Newquay was the 639th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour

There was no sign of the Penguin Park when we were there, however the course itself is largely unchanged from its original construction in the 1960's.

If you look at the right of the card you can see a man in a striped jumper paying for his round. This same man appears in the postcard below. The hole the ladies are playing and the one to the left of it can be seen in the photo we took when we visited the course in 2015

Gilmore's Crazy Golf course as it looked in the summer of 2015. Not much has changed since it was built in the 1960's. The course is something of a rarity on these shores as it's of the Beton / Concrete variety more commonly found in continental Europe

If you look closely you can see the ladies in the purple jackets from the other postcard in the middle of this card

I'm sure the old postcard will be of interest to our friends over at The Putting Penguin minigolf review site.
