| We had some lovely weather to play the brand new course in Peterborough |
On Friday 31st July we were able to play the brand new 12-hole Peterborough Minigolf course at Dobbies Garden Centre. We'd been looking forward to playing the course since we heard about its construction back in June. We hadn't originally planned to be travelling north using the A1M, but the adverse traffic conditions on the M1 meant we had the opportunity to swing by and give the layout a play.

The course became the 382nd played and 662nd visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

| On the long 5th |

| When we arrived we saw fellow pro minigolfer Dave Gomm and his wife and opponent Liz Gomm finishing up a round. Dave joined us on our round. always nice to catch up with the pair |

| Unfortunately we didn't win a free game |
In our match-up Emily beat me by one shot, with a score of 29 to 30. Neither of us won a free game on the lucky last hole, but I did get a hole-in-one on the 6th hole.

As a big fan of mini golf merchandise I had to snap up one of the Peterborough Minigolf t-shirts (£8) while I was there.
 |
| The Peterborough Minigolf t-shirt - it's also available in pink and white versions. The course are selling mugs in the merch range too, but the prices weren't available on our visit |
 |
| The Peterborough Minigolf course scorecard is nicely done. There's a loyalty card to earn a free game after seven visits too. Hopefully we can win a free game on the 13th hole one day and add that card to our collection as well |
Check out the Peterborough Minigolf website for more information, prices and opening times. We're looking forward to returning for some more games in the future.

| The course gets a thumbs up |
