The A-Z of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour

Together with my brother Christopher we've visited a total of 973 miniature golf courses around the world since September 2006.

Emily and I have been to 948 courses while Christopher has been to 34 on his own branch of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We've been to nine of the 34 Christopher's visited.


A for Abingdon


The first minigolf course that Christopher and I ever played was the Crazy Golf course at the Abbey Meadows in Abingdon-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.

Sadly that course was closed and removed at the end of the 2016 season.

Z for Zeltingen-Rachtig


In 2018 Christopher visited a number of courses during a cycling trip in the Mosel Valley, Germany. One of those was the Beton Minigolf course in Zeltingen-Rachtig.

As if more proof were needed that we can find a Crazy Golf course in most places we visit, Emily has stumbled upon a Crazy Golf course while on a weekend away in Grantham, Lincolnshire.

The 9-hole Crazy Golf course is at the Ancaster Karting centre, next to the hotel Emily was staying at. She only spotted it while driving past on her way home!
