The pair of hotel miniature golf courses looked in fantastic condition and had great views of the sea.

Both hotels are part of the Brend Group. Towards the end of our road-trip we had a very pleasant stay in The Royal Hotel in Bideford, Devon. The hotel is right next to an interesting heritage railway. Worth a visit too.

The old halt and track bed of the Bideford Heritage Railway is at the back of The Royal Hotel. Can you spot Emily in the photo?

Unfortunately the location and price of the car parking in Sidmouth meant we couldn't spend as long at the seaside as we'd have liked. But the course looked in great condition and was being enjoyed by a number of other players.

You can find the Putting Green and other leisure facilities including tennis and bowls at Coburg Terrace, Sidmouth, Devon, EX10 8NH.

For more information, opening times and prices check out the Leisure East Devon website.

The Sidmouth Putting Green is a sister course of the Grass Putting layout we found at Seafield Gardens in Seaton.

Unfortunately there are plans to remove the Crazy Golf courses as part of a redevelopment of the seafront in Exmouth. This is a real shame. The course still looks to be in excellent shape and Arnold Palmer Putting Courses have been a part of the UK seaside since the 1960's. It's a classic piece of seaside history and should be preserved rather than destroyed.

Visit this course while you still can!

Arnold Palmer Putting Courses are my favourite type of minigolf to play and we've visited quite a few over the years - 24 in fact! The first course Emily and I ever played on together was an Arnold Palmer at Butlin's Minehead. On our trip to Skegness earlier this year it was great to see the scorecard at the course there listing all of the Arnold Palmer Putting courses - many of which have ceased to exist.
