New Crazy Golf course at Ighten Leigh Social Club in Burnley

Ighten Leigh Social Club in Burnley has a new Crazy Golf course.


There's a new Crazy Golf course at Ighten Leigh Social Club in Burnley

Hopefully we'll get to play the layout in the future. Burnley isn't too far from us and we're looking forward to visiting the town again when it's safe for us to do so.

It'll be interesting to see what the Ighten Leigh Social Club Crazy Golf course layout looks like.

New miniature golf courses in the UK

It's the second brand new minigolf course in the UK to open its doors for the first time during the coronavirus pandemic. The first was the 18-hole dinosaur-themed adventure golf course at Perton Park Golf Club in Wolverhampton.

A new Mini Golf course has also been installed at Sea Acres Holiday Park at Kennack Sands in Cornwall.

There are a number of new minigolf courses also being built, in development or planned.

A new adventure golf course is under construction at Fairhaven Lake in Lytham St Annes on the Fylde coast. A new adventure golf layout is nearing completion at China Fleet Country Club in Saltash, Cornwall. The Filwood Community Centre in Knowle West, Bristol is planning a new Crazy Golf course and have a Putt at Home Club in the meantime. The new Roxy Ball Room at Withy Grove in Manchester will include minigolf among the games on offer. Work will soon be underway again at the Princess Parade Crazy Golf course in Blackpool. There are plans for a new Ghetto Golf venue in Sheffield, an adventure golf centre at Birmingham's Bullring shopping centre, a crazy golf course at Kingsway West Retail Park in Dundee and an adventure golf course in Andover, Hampshire. Work is also almost complete at the new Crazy Golf course at Pembrey Country Park in Wales and Boom Battle Bar in Norwich. While the new Gravity venue in Northampton was completed just as lockdown was announced.

Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour

Prior to the coronavirus pandemic we were closing in on visiting the final 40 courses of the original 600 we set out to play in 2006. We're also very close to hitting 1,000 course visits overall.

Before the lockdown hit and our out-of-home putting was paused we'd visited 948 courses since September 2006.

We're now up to 949 course visits as we found a Pitch & Putt course on one of our daily walks last month.

We'd had a very strong start to the year and visited 20 courses in the first 20 days of 2020.

Who knows where and when course visit number 950 will be...?
