Ghetto Golf at the Custard Factory in Birmingham

A revisit to the Ghetto Golf course at the Custard Factory in Digbeth, Birmingham.

Over the weekend we revisited the Ghetto Golf course at the Custard Factory in Digbeth, Birmingham. Last year the indoor Crazy Golf course became the 780th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Ghetto Golf is a Cool Spot to visit

Sonic the Hedgehog appears on the final hole (Final Zone?)

Super Mario can be found on the course too

As can Donkey Kong!

The final few holes are all retro videogame related

I love this piece of artwork and the use of the wall

The last Blockbuster in the UK?

A sporting hybrid of tenpin bowling and minigolf

There's also a Ghetto Golf course in Liverpool that we're yet to visit. Check out the Ghetto Golf website for opening times and prices.

Junkyard Golf heading to Leeds

A new Junkyard Golf course is opening at The Light in Leeds.

The team at Junkyard Golf are taking their brand of indoor Crazy Golf to The Light in Leeds city centre.

The new Junkyard Golf course in Leeds will feature three courses

We've played the Junkyard Golf courses in Manchester and London on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, but still need to visit the course in Oxford.

For more information visit the Junkyard Golf website.

Many thanks to Leeds-based artist Jack Hurley for the tip-off about the course opening.

Crazy Golf at Roxy Ball Room in Manchester

Checking out the new indoor Crazy Golf course at Roxy Ball Room in Manchester.

Last week I had a round at a new local minigolf course here in Manchester as Roxy Ball Room on Deansgate has added an 18-hole indoor Crazy Golf course to the pool, beer pong and table tennis on offer at the venue.

The Roxy Ball Room Crazy Golf course was the 810th minigolf course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

It wasn't a particularly easy course and while I managed to get two holes-in-one my total score was 59!

To play the first 9-holes was £9 and it was £15 to play all 18-holes. It was the first time I've seen that pricing system in operation.
