I like the elephant effect on this hole. That looks like a tricky crossing straight to the cup too

Check out the Junglemania Adventure Golf website for more information, opening times and prices.


Matt and Helen Dodd and their family have visited hundreds of courses on their travels. There are a number of courses they have played that we haven't got to yet, and vice versa. Together we've almost been to them all!

Matt tells me that the course plays very well and has a number of obstacles and hole designs he hadn't seen before on his travels.

We're looking forward to a future visit and a 'friendly' competitive round against Matt and Helen on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Matt and his family have visited hundreds of courses on their crazy golf adventures and it's always fun to meet up with them for a game. Matt has managed to track down and play quite a lot of courses that we're yet to visit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour!

Jungle Journey Adventure Golf in Torquay, Devon

A look back at our visit to the Jungle Journey Adventure Golf course in Torquay, Devon.


Jungle Journey Adventure Golf in Torquay, Devon

During our summer holiday around the South West of England back in 2015 we visited 62 miniature golf courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

One of those courses was Jungle Journey Adventure Golf in Torquay, Devon.

The course was the 618th visited on our travels.

Squeezing 62 course visits into two-weeks was a BIG task and it wasn't possible to stop at, or play all of the Mini, Crazy and Adventure Golf courses, or all the Putting Greens and Pitch & Putts we saw on the trip, or those we'd heard about beforehand.

Visit the Jungle Journey Adventure Golf website for more information, opening times and prices.

The 18-hole course was the 868th visited and 509th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We visited on a drizzly Friday lunchtime in May, so were lucky to have the course to ourselves.

We enjoyed our round on the large miniature golf layout. Some of the holes are very long, with wide greens.

In our minigolf match on the Jungle Safari Adventure Golf course I won with a score of 45 to Emily's 50.

Crazy Golf in Stourport on Severn

The last stop on our mini road-trip around the midlands was in Stourport on Severn. Ahead of our visit we'd seen there were two miniature golf courses there - an interesting looking jungle-themed crazy golf and a grass putting layout - but when we arrived at Playland in Riverside Park we found another crazy golf course! A nice bonus.

The 9-hole Crazy Golf course at Playland became the 469th played and 789th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Well worth a play 

Stourport on Severn is an interesting town and well worth a visit. It has a seaside resort feel to it - dating back to its role as a day-trip destination for workers from Birmingham in times gone by. The colourful minigolf courses, variety of amusements, pubs and other facilities in the town make it a nice destination.
