Mini Golf in Dawlish

A visit to the Mini Golf course in Dawlish, Devon.

The 615th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was the Mini Golf layout at Tucks Plot near the seafront, The Strand and gardens in Dawlish, Devon.

The 18-hole course is a Swedish Felt variety of Minigolf

The 18-hole Swedish Felt B-Run type of Mini Golf was the 16th visited our tour of the South West of England during June 2015.

Unfortunately the course was closed when we were in Dawlish on Wednesday 3rd June

Check out photos of the course below.

For more information on the course, opening times and prices visit the Dawlish Mini Golf web page.

The 'Dawlish' sign has been prominent on the course for many years. In older photos of the course the word was spelled out in plants

There's been a miniature golf layout on the site for many years. I've got a number of old postcards dating from the 1930's and 40's through to the 70's and 80's that show a grass Putting course on the spot. It was pleasing to see a couple of postcards showing the current course on sale in the town and I bought a stack of them from the Tourist Information Centre to post out to friends.

Another Luton

Visiting our third 'Luton'.

Luton in Devon

On our recent holiday we visited Devon and en route to Teignmouth from Dawlish we had to pop into one of the other places in the UK called 'Luton'. This one is near Newton Abbot.

All of the road signs on the way said Luton was 1 and a half miles away!

Look! There's another one

And another!

One of the two approach roads to Luton in Devon. Heading away from this Luton on the way to Teignmouth we had to drive across a golf course - that was interesting

The village sign was partially obscured by a hedge and stinging nettles. It was purely by chance that we spotted it too. Driving into this Luton we didn't see any signs, but after we'd driven through the village I did a three point turn near a farm on Fore Street and there it was!

'Home' again

Back in April 2012 we visited Luton in Chatham, Kent. That's little more than a street. We drove by that Luton again last year.

The only road sign we saw for Luton in Kent showed it was one mile away

There's another Luton in Devon, near Honiton. We didn't have time to visit on our road-trip, but next time we're down that way we're going to pop along for a look.

I'm originally from Oxford and on a road-trip to Scotland and back in 2012 we spotted an Oxford in Northumberland.
