Krazy Golf on Porth Island

Playing Krazy Golf on Porth Island, Newquay.

We unexpectedly spotted a Crazy Golf course at Porth Island on our drive from Newquay to Padstow during our South West of England roadtrip in 2015.

The most difficult hole on the course

The course looked interesting, and similar to a Beton Concrete type of miniature golf course.

However, the playing surface was one of the most bumpy we'd ever played on and coupled with the bouncy golf balls made for one of the most frustrating rounds of minigolf we've ever played. In fact we didn't even manage to finish the round, instead calling it a draw with the score level at 55 shots apiece!

The last hole was fairly straightforward...

...and a scary cup that we refused to putt into! Far too many cobwebs for our liking!

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.



You can find the Crazy Golf course next to the Newquay Football Golf layout. Check out the website for more info.

Playing Crazy Golf in St Erth

Crazy Golf at Penwith Pitch and Putt in St Erth, Cornwall.

This is a bit of a throwback blog post, but it seems crazy that our adventure around the south west coast of England was back in 2015! We've still got a few minigolf blog posts to do about that trip!

You can see the full list of 62 courses we visited on our two-week holiday in our post 'Mini Golf in the South West of England'. One of those courses was the Crazy Golf layout at the Penwith Pitch & Putt centre in St Erth, Cornwall.

It was a brilliant and brightly coloured 18-hole course and great fun to play.

A happy character. And a fun Crazy Golf obstacle

The course was the 37th visited on our south west trip, the 375th played overall and 636th course visited since September 2006.
