The superb 12-hole miniature golf layout at Dobbies Garden Centre in Gloucester is expanding to become an 18-hole course.
We played the Aces Minigolf Gloucester course in July 2021 to play a few rounds and compete in the Aces Minigolf Gloucester Invitational Tournament - that event was the first minigolf competition we'd played in since 2019 and it was fun to be back in action.
The new holes will be on the other side of the fence on the right hand side
It'll be interesting to see what the new 6-holes look and play like.

Charity Crazy Golf at Woburn Sands Emporium
We recently found that the Woburn Sands Emporium garden centre was home to a Charity Crazy Golf course, so we had to head along for a game.

It's always fun finding a minigolf course we didn't previously know about. And superb when it's a unique layout.

The Crazy Golf course at Woburn Sands Emporium certainly was different, and it was brilliant to play the 7-hole course!

In our minigolf match I took the win with a score of 17 to Emily's 18. It had been close for the first six holes, with Emily ahead by one shot. But the final hole was a round wrecker and game killer. Emily played first and shot a 6, while I was able to hit a 4 and take the win.

The 12-hole minigolf layout is the brainchild of my minigolf rival and doubles partner Seve Kukielka. Seve has been playing tournament minigolf since the mid 2000's, is highly ranked in the British Minigolf Association Order of Merit and has won a number of competitions over the years.
The course at Wyevale Garden Centre was the 515th we played and the 883rd visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. It was the 845th course visited in the British Isles.

While traveling around East Anglia last week we stayed over the road from Dobbies Garden Centre in the Hampton area of Peterborough. We had to call in to check out the Peterborough Miniolf course there.
