The Crazy Golf course at Hoveton Hall became the 1,021st course visited in total on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006.

On holiday - two years ago today

Looking back at our holiday to Lytham St Annes two years ago.

We were on holiday on the Fylde Coast this time two years ago.

How times change.

With Humpty at the MiniLinks Crazy Golf course in Lytham St Annes

The MiniLinks Crazy Golf course was the 48th visited and played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in April 2008.

The MiniLinks in Lytham Saint Annes is home to three miniature golf courses - the Crazy Golf, a Pennines Putting course and a Par-3 layout.

Playing Crazy Golf at Haigh Woodland Park in Wigan

A visit to the Crazy Golf course at Haigh Woodland Park in Wigan.

On Saturday 8th April 2017 we headed to Haigh Woodland Park in Wigan to compete in the Great Northern Minigolf Open tournament played out on the two miniature golf courses in the park.

The second course played was the old Crazy Golf layout operated by the Friends of Haigh Country Park group.

At just £1 per game the course was the lowest price we'd ever found for an 18-hole course on our travels. Amazing value for money. We still haven't anywhere charging less than a quid.

Celebrating an ace on the labyrinth hole

The 18-holes are a real hotch potch as the courses has been added to and refurbished by different people and groups over the years. It certainly made for a fun and challenging round.

It was also nice to see a Humpty on the course.

The Haigh Woodland Park Crazy Golf course was the 728th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 701st in the UK. It became the 428th played on our travels since September 2006.

We've now been to 948 courses overall.

I'd first visited the Country Park back in December 2012 when the course was partially derelict.

Our recent trip to Southampton saw us visit 18 more courses, playing eight of them.

One of the courses we played was the 9-hole Crazy Golf course at the Royal Victoria Country Park in Netley, Southampton.

The course was the 879th visited and 512th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

I scored a 20 in my round on the Crazy Golf course - 2, 3, 4, 3, 1, 1, 2, 2 and 2.

Always nice to see Humpty on a course

As a bonus we also had a ride on the miniature railway in the busy country park.

Happy 34th Birthday to DK Fibreglass

Congratulations to the team at DK Fibreglass on achieving 34 years in business.

The Crazy Golf course at the MiniLinks in Lytham St Anne's

This week the team at DK Fibreglass are celebrating 34 years in business. In that time they have produced lots of Crazy Golf courses, many of which we've played on our travels.

Playing the Crazy Golf course in Hunstanton

The first DK Fibreglass Crazy Golf course we played was in Verulamium Park back in 2007. That particular minigolf course was replaced by another of the DK Fibreglass range, one which spells out the word 'CRAZY GOLF' in the layout.

When we lived in Luton our local course at Wardown Park was a DK Fibreglass one and we played on it a lot before it was removed in 2015.

One of the trademark obstacles on DK Fibreglass courses is 'Humpty'. I've been photographed with him a lot on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour!

The first Humpty I saw was on the first DK Fibreglass course I played. This was in St Albans back in 2007

Since our Crazy Golf adventures began in September 2006 we've visited 859 courses. Of those 31 have been DK Fibreglass minigolf courses. However, only one of those has been of the special '5 Star Crazy Golf' variety - a course I managed to complete a perfect round on back in 2011.

There are 5 numbered cups on the 5 Star Crazy Golf courses from DK Fibreglass

There are still a number of minigolf courses for us to visit around the country and we know that some of those are DK Fibreglass layouts. One of which is the Crazy Golf course at the Herrings Green Farm Birds Of Prey Activity Centre in Bedford.
