Playing the Crazy Golf course at The Imperial Hotel in Torquay, Devon.

The 617th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was the Crazy Golf at the hotel we stayed at in Torquay. Prior to our arrival we didn't know there was a course there.

A nice bonus on our holiday.

The 9-hole layout was the 18th found, and sixth played on our tour of the South West of England, and the 369th played overall on our tour.

Hotel Putting Greens in Sidmouth

The 608th and 609th courses visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour were a pair of Putting Greens on hotel front lawns in Sidmouth, Devon. They're next door to each other!

The pair of hotel miniature golf courses looked in fantastic condition and had great views of the sea.

Both hotels are part of the Brend Group. Towards the end of our road-trip we had a very pleasant stay in The Royal Hotel in Bideford, Devon. The hotel is right next to an interesting heritage railway. Worth a visit too.

The old halt and track bed of the Bideford Heritage Railway is at the back of The Royal Hotel. Can you spot Emily in the photo?

Mini Golf at the Mediterranean Palace Hotel in Tenerife

My cousin Jason stayed at the Mediterranean Palace Hotel in Tenerife on his recent holiday and the view from his balcony included a miniature golf course!

The course is an 'Eternit' style of Miniature Golf, with some different obstacles to usual

Earlier this year my brother Christopher spotted a Minigolf course at Vista Alegre in Porto Cristo, Majorca, and last year my sister-in-law Jo found a Crazy Golf course in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote.

A #GetUpandGo experience at the Travelodge in Hastings

Travelling to Hastings for a minigolfing #GetUpandGo experience.

On our travels around the UK on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour Emily and I often stay in Travelodge hotels, and on our many trips to compete in Mini, Crazy and Adventure Golf tournaments in the mecca of minigolf - Hastings, East Sussex - we'll often be found checking in at the Travelodge on Bohemia Road.

The hotel is in a good spot, has nice clean rooms, parking and great customer service. It all helps to make a stay there pleasant and with the introduction of new and very comfortable beds we're ready to #GetUpandGo in the many individual and team tournaments we play in at the seaside resort.

On my latest trip to the town I finished 11th of 26 players in the two-round, 36-hole Planet Hastings Crazy Golf Club Open competition played on the 18-hole Adventure Golf course on the seafront.
