Splash Point Mini Golf in Denton Gardens, Worthing

A revisit to Splash Point Mini Golf in Worthing's Denton Gardens.

The early bird... gets the nice and clear course

On Saturday 6th April we replayed one of the trickiest and fun miniature golf courses in the country as we swung by Splash Point Mini Golf in Denton Gardens, Worthing.

Playing the hardest hole on the course

Splash Point Mini Golf is one of my favourite minigolf courses and is a real test of putting skill.

In our match-up on the 18-hole course I managed to win against Emily with a 47 to 50 scoreline.

Splash Point Mini Golf is a colourful Crazy Golf course  

It's always nice to have one's achievements acknowledged

When we had a wander through Denton Gardens in the afternoon it was lovely to see the course busy with players

In 2010 the 18-hole course in Worthing's Denton Gardens became the 181st course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We're now up to 862 courses, with many many many revisits to courses since we set off on our travels in September 2006.

A revisit to Splash Point Mini Golf in Worthing

A BIG day for Splash Point Mini Golf.

Minigolf is hard work

We were in Worthing on Saturday for my brother's birthday party, which also coincided with the annual Jet Wash Day down at the Splash Point Mini Golf course in Denton Gardens.

There was no sign of Top Gull, but some pigeons were enjoying walking on the newly cleaned course

Course owners Anthony and Peter were part-way through their nine-hour shift to blast the dirt and grime from the 18-hole course ahead of the opening of the course for the 2016 season.

We also spotted a new feature on the course for this year. A bench.

It's always nice to have a sit down

In addition to Jet Wash Day Splash Point Mini Golf will be hosting two competitions this year. Check out details of other BIG 'days' in the minigolf calendar too.

We always enjoy our visits to sunny Worthing

While in town we were lucky enough to find a nice old postcard in a flea market just off the seafront. The card, published by Valentine & Sons Ltd and posted on the 7th July 1958, shows the Putting Green in Denton Park. Always a nice sight to see on old postcards.

Splash Point Mini Golf in Worthing

A revisit to the Splash Point Mini Golf course in Worthing.

On Saturday 25th July 2015 we revisited sunny Worthing in West Sussex to compete in the Splash Point Open tournament held on the 18-hole Splash Point Mini Golf course just off the seafront at the town's Denton Gardens.

Back in 2010 the course became the 181st visited on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and we've returned a number of times since then for both competitions and fun rounds.

Since the course opened in 2010 it's been a great addition to the seaside resort. Over the years the owners Anthony and Peter have added some classic Crazy Golf obstacles including a windmill and loop-di-loop, as well as keeping the layout very well maintained.

Miniature Golf has been played in Denton Gardens since the 1920's and it's a great location for a game. Check out the Splash Point Mini Golf website, Twitter and Facebook for opening times, prices and further info.

Splash Point Mini Golf is one of the few courses that has it's own postcard - in fact it has two!

The scorecard/loyalty card is smashing too.

Love Worthing Photo Competition #useitorloseit

While in sunny Worthing for the recent BMGA British Masters miniature golf tournament at Splash Point Mini Golf course I spotted an advert for a Worthing Photo Competition in the Worthing Herald.

The competition is being run by Worthing Borough Council for its #useitorloseit campaign to make Worthing even more attractive for local residents and visitors to the town.

Here's our entry.

Splash Point Mini Golf in Worthing - Crazy World of Minigolf Tour - Course Visit #181

The home of the 2010 BMGA British Matchplay Championships, Splash Point Mini Golf at Denton Gardens in Worthing, West Sussex is a brand new 18-hole Minigolf course, designed and built by two BMGA Tour Members - Anthony Pope and Peter Emmerson.

The visit to the excellent course was number 181 on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. The photos below show the course as it was when we first arrived late on Friday 2nd July, on Saturday 3rd July, and on tournament-day Sunday 4th July.







It's a brilliant (and tough course), and well worth a visit. Anthony and Peter have put a lot of hard work into setting up the course and it's a real asset to Worthing. I'm sure if you pop by Anthony or Peter would be happy to give out some top tips. And if you're a local you could also join the Splash Point Mini Golf Club (SPMGC).
