Holey Molies Mini Golf in Skelton-in-Cleveland, near Saltburn-by-the-Sea

A visit to the Holey Molies Crazy Golf course in Skelton-in-Cleveland.

Last September we reached another BIG minigolf milestone as we played at our 500th miniature golf course since our travels began in September 2006.

The 18-hole indoor Mini Golf course at Holey Molies Leisure Complex in Skelton-in-Cleveland, Saltburn-by-the-Sea was the 845th visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 807th we've been to in the British Isles.

It was brilliant to finally play the Holey Molies minigolf course as we'd heard so much about it since it opened.

One of the main things we'd heard was that the Mini Golf course at Holey Molies Leisure Complex boasts the 'World's Longest Mini Golf Hole' - measuring in at 264 feet!

Hole 1 - the longest minigolf hole in the world. You have to start off upstairs, teeing-off up a ramp and then the ball is carried along the long viaduct before being deposited on the green

The winner of our match got a very nice Holey Molies Mini Golf medal

In addition to the Mini Golf course, the Holey Molies Leisure Complex is home to a diner and bar, and FootPool tables.

Krazy Golf Lydney in the Forest of Dean

Playing the Crazy Golf course at Krazy Golf Lydney.

On our Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and Herefordshire road-trip we visited Krazy Golf Lydney in the Forest of Dean.

Krazy Golf Lydney is in a nice spot in the Forest of Dean and can be found just off the A48 next to Taurus Crafts

We received a very nice welcome and it was great to chat to Roger and Georgina about Krazy Golf Lydney and it's history.

There's plenty to do at Krazy Golf Lydney

The course is an interesting 15-hole layout, with a unique setting. We had a feeling the site was previously something else and this was confirmed by Roger who told us the area was once a miniature railway and model village!

This wavy wooden ramp was a tricky hole to play

Each of the 15-holes on the themed Krazy Golf Lydney course is based on tourism in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley. You can see the full list of attractions on the Krazy Golf Lydney website.

Hole 1 has a Paintball Combat theme!

Interestingly one of the holes at Lydney is based on the Wye Valle Mini Golf course at Symonds Yat West! That Roman-themed course was the 193rd we played back in August 2010.

Another look at the wavy wooden hole

Krazy Golf Lydney became the 468th played and 787th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We had a hoot playing at Krazy Golf Lydney

A railway hole!

This hole was interesting as the rules state that you must play your ball through at least four of the 'gates' before you could hole out

I got past the four gates in one go. The second putt was a longish one though

Through a maze

Emily's shots were on target

There wasn't much room to manouevre for your second shots on this hole

In our match-up on the 15-hole course we tied on 38. However, as Emily scored a hole-in-one she picked up the win.

Emily was the Lydney Krazy Golf Champion - what a nice touch to get a certificate. It's proudly displayed on our trophy shelf

As well as the Crazy Golf course you can play Foot Pool, Air Hockey, Pool, Table Tennis and Table Football, and a selection of garden games.

This was the second version of Foot Pool we'd seen on our recent travels. The first was at Pontins Prestatyn Sands

Krazy Golf Lydney also has a Crazy Golf Pool table game! We hadn't seen or played one on our travels before!
