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

Birdies Adventure Golf in Folkestone

A new Adventure Golf course is opening at Folkestone's Harbour Arm in Kent.

Work is underway on the new 12-hole Adventure Golf course and café on Folkestone Harbour Arm and it is planned to open this summer.

It's another new course for us to visit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

New Mini-Golf course planned for Folkestone

There are plans for a new mini-golf course to be created at Folkestone's Harbour Arm.

A new 12-hole mini-golf course could be created at the Folkestone Harbour Arm in Folkestone, Kent.

The course would be designed by City Golf Europe.

It'll be another new course for us to visit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We've played minigolf in Folkestone before and have played a number of City Golf courses over the year.

Plans for a new adventure golf course in Folkestone

Folkestone in Kent could be home to a new Roman-themed minigolf course.

A new Roman-themed attraction has been proposed for the East Cliff area of Folkestone, Kent and part of the venue could include an adventure golf course.

The Folkestone Parks and Pleasure Ground Charity is the organisation behind the proposal.

Should the course get the go ahead it'll be another place to revisit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We have played minigolf in Folkestone before, way back in 2010. There's also a very good art installation on the seafront where the old Arnold Palmer Putting Course from the Rotunda theme park has been incorporated into a series of beach huts!

The Creative Folkestone Triennial art festival will feature a Crazy Golf course.

Folkestone in 2010

Folkestone will play host to the fifth Folkestone Triennial with 20 artworks being set up around the seaside town in Kent.

One of those will be amusement arcade and crazy golf-themed.

The artist genuinefake (Rachel Stella Jenkins) will be setting up a pavilion with an amusement arcade and crazy golf course on the site of the old Rotunda amusement arcades.

The Creative Folkestone Triennial, formerly the Folkestone Triennial, takes place between Saturday 5th September and Sunday 8th November 2020.

Find out more on the Creative Folkestone Triennial website.

It's not the first time that Crazy Golf has been a part of the Folkestone Triennial. The first edition saw the 18 Holes Crazy Golf art installation created by Richard Wilson. This permanent artwork was made using the old Arnold Palmer Putting Course from The Rotunda to resemble three beach huts!

What a wonderful use of an old minigolf course

A nice view

It was nice to see the old minigolf course used for something as the site of The Rotunda resembled a desolate wasteland when we visited in 2010.

Minigolf courses visited but not played - Folkestone (Sports Centre) - Mini Golf & Putting Green

At the Folkestone Sports Centre there are three variants of 'Mini Golf'. One is the Crazy Golf that we played (a very 'unique' course to say the least). The others are a Mini Golf, which was a Pitch & Putt Golf course which we had no time to play, and a Putting Green, which you are unable to play unless playing the Mini Golf (Pitch & Putt) too.

Crazy Golf Course visited but not able to be played - Folkestone (Seafront) - 18-holes Art Installation

A visit to Folkestone and the 18 Holes Crazy Golf art installation by Richard Wilson.


The old Rotunda Arnold Palmer Putting Course in Folkestone is now a brilliant permanent Art Installation by Richard Wilson - called 18 Holes. It was built for the Folkestone Triennial art event in the town in 2008.













As an aside to the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour visit to the 'course', here are two near identical photos with which to play 'Spot The Difference'?

Course visited but not played - Folkestone (Martello Tower 3) - Mini Golf

The next course we visited but could not play in Folkestone was at Martello Tower 3! Here the Mini Golf, turned out to be a Pitch & Putt course which we had no time to play.



However, according to Thisisfolkestone.co.uk "Up until 1940, the first floor of the tower was used as a clubhouse for a miniature golf course, and the word 'GOLF' painted in large white letters around the outer wall."

Very interesting information!

Folkestone Sports Centre Crazy Golf - Crazy World of Minigolf Tour - Course Played Number 198

The one minigolf course we were able to play at Folkestone Sports Centre was their attempt at Crazy Golf. The course become the 198th to be played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 30th 2006.


The 9-hole course was very interesting to say the least. It was constructed out of what appeared to be part of a former skate/BMX park, and was located in half a derelict tennis court beside a dry ski-slope!?





Truly one of the oddest courses and course locations we've encountered on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour to date!

The Folkestone Sports Centre is also home to a Mini Golf (Pitch & Putt) course and a Putting Green.
