My brother and his family were recently down in Devon and swung by the Devon Railway Centre on one of the days of their trip. Sadly the venue wasn't open at that time, but they did return later in the week when it was as there's a crazy golf course there too.

Unfortunately the course was so busy while they were there they didn't get to have a game, but they did find this superb and very mini crazy golf in the model world part of the centre!

We visited the course on Ilfracombe Promenade during our south west coast road-trip in 2015 but were just too late to have a game there.

It's an interesting looking layout and the 12-hole course has some unique obstacles to play up, over, under, around and through.

Visit the Ilfracombe Crazy Golf website for more information.


A postcard from Ilfracombe

I actually bought a couple of crazy golf postcards of the Ilfracombe course at the last postcard fair I attended before the pandemic.

We're looking forward to returning to Ilfracombe on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in the future.
