The course was the 146th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in 2009. 

The last time either of us were in Rhyl was when I had a day out there in September 2019! Crazy to think as it's one of our most local seaside resorts.

New Mini Golf at Parc Bryn Bach in Tredegar, Wales

A new Mini Golf course has opened at Parc Bryn Bach in Tredegar, Wales.

Many thanks to my friend, minigolf rival and fellow crazy golf enthusiast Martyn Williams of the Welsh Minigolf Club for letting me know about a brand new Mini Golf course that recently opened at Parc Bryn Bach in Tredegar.

It looks like an ace layout and Martyn tells me it plays very nicely indeed.

It's another course for us to visit when our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour returns to Wales.

Check out the Parc Bryn Bach website for more information.

Martyn also sent me this snap of a brilliant social distancing sign he spotted while visiting the park.

Calbourne Water Mill Crazy Golf on the Isle of Wight

Thank to my friend and minigolf rival Matt Dodd for sending me photos from a course visit he made while on the Isle of Wight last summer. They are from the dragon-themed Miniature Golf course at Calbourne Water Mill in Calbourne, Newport.

Visit the Calbourne Water Mill website for more info, opening times and prices.

Matt and his family have visited hundreds of courses on their crazy golf adventures and it's always brilliant to meet up with them for a game. Matt has managed to track down and play quite a lot of courses that we've yet to get to on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour! It's always fun to find out about even more places to play, especially when they are unique layouts like the one at Calbourne Water Mill.

Playing the course

I played the 18-hole Dragon's Quest Mini Golf course at Fontygary Leisure Park during my trip to compete in the Welsh Double's Championship in May last year.

There are some superb views from Fontygary Leisure Park and it's well worth a visit

Other tournaments

The last minigolf tournament held in the UK before lockdown was the 19th edition of the Planet Hastings Crazy Golf Open held on the 1st March. The Thanet Open had been held in Margate, Kent on 9th February.

Revisiting the Welsh Dragon Adventure Golf course in Rhyl.

Last week I swung by the Welsh Dragon Adventure Golf course in Rhyl, Wales.

We first played the course on our trip around the coast of Wales in the summer of 2009. Back then it became the 146th course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We revisited the course in September 2014, September 2017 and January 2018.

Dragon's Quest Mini Golf at Fontygary Leisure Park

Playing the new Dragon's Quest Mini Golf course at Fontygary Leisure Park in Rhoose, Barry, Wales.

Earlier this month I heard about the new Dragon's Quest Mini Golf at Fontygary Leisure Park from the team at Greenspan Projects. Luckily I was in South Wales for the Welsh Mini Golf Club's Double Championship in Aberavon at the weekend so was able to swing by on my way home.

Look at the size of that dragon!

It was great to have a round on the 18-hole Dragon's Quest Adventure Golf course. It looks really nice and has some interesting features, most noticeably the BIG red dragon!

The Dragon's Quest Mini Golf course at Fontygary Leisure Park became the 887th visited and 517th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006.

A funny looking character on the course. And what I believe is a Dragon Slayer model

I really liked the look of the mining hole 

The course is in a very nice setting and looks lovely

The minigolf course at Fontygary Leisure Park is open to the public, with a round costing £7 for adults and £5.50 for children. Check out the Fontygary Leisure Park website for more information.

I shot a round of 41 on the 18-hole course
