What's that croc had for dinner?

The Moles family have found and played a fair few minigolf, crazy golf and adventure golf courses on their travels. Including one on a cruise ship!

It's always brilliant seeing new courses and those we haven't been to on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

My fellow minigolf explorer Matt Dodd sent me this photo of the new Jungle Adventure Golf course in Shanklin Village on the Isle of Wight on his visit to the island last summer.

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.

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.

New Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf course opening in Glasgow

A new Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf course is opening in Glasgow.


The team at Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf are opening a new indoor Adventure Golf course in Glasgow, Scotland.


Many thanks to our friend and minigolf rival John Moore for letting us know about it after he spotted this sign on a recent trip to the city.

We've visited the Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf courses in Bristol and Leeds, plus the former venue in Liverpool. We've yet to play the Jungle Rumble outdoor course on the site of what was the old Peter Pan Minigolf course in Brighton.

The Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf courses in Leeds were the 822nd and 823rd visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour

Crazy Golf at the Pleasure Gardens in Great Yarmouth

A look at the Crazy Golf course at Nelson Gardens in Great Yarmouth back in 1980.


I recently bought 50 more postcards for my collection of minigolf cards and among them was this nice old postcard showing the Crazy Golf course at Nelson Gardens in Great Yarmouth.

We visited and played the course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back on the 9th June 2007. The course was the 25th we played.

Unfortunately at the start of the 2008 summer season the 11-hole minigolf course was changed from a Safari Golf to a Segway Grand Prix!

The Pleasure Beach is still home to a 12-hole Adventure Golf course.

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.
