Hole 18
It's not the first time the Trafford Golf Centre has been home to a minigolf course. Back in the late noughties there was a 9-hole Championship Miniature Golf course on the site. A course I won two tournaments on in 2009 - the Mini Masters and Mini Open! The previous minigolf course there was the 84th we played. Dino Falls Adventure Golf became the 792nd visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Finding out about Jurassic Globalls indoor glow in the dark minigolf in Brighton.
It's always brilliant to see new minigolf courses opening and even better to hear they are doing well. One such new minigolf course is Jurassic Globalls, an indoor glow in the dark course in Brighton. We haven't been to Brighton for a few years, but really ought to so we can play the new course and see what's changed down there. In the meantime the team at Globalls were kind enough to send me the first scorecard they ever printed for my collection of minigolf ephemera and merchandise in the Crazy Golf Museum. It looks great.
The scorecard at Jurassic Globalls is nice, big, colourful and high quality
I've been told the course record for the 12-hole course currently stands at 19 shots, with the average score coming in at the 50 shots mark!

You can find Jurassic Globalls at Unit 8, Ground Floor, Mermaid Walk, The Waterfront, Brighton Marina BN2 5WA. Visit the Jurassic Globalls website for more information, opening times and prices.
Back in 2009 we visited the Isle of wight on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and are hoping to get back there soon. There a few more new and refurbished courses for us to play there now!

The team at Golf Attractions are behind the new dino-themed course. We've visited and played their portable courses in Milton Keynes and Hatfield. They've also got a Jurassic Golf course at Bridgemere Garden Centre in Nantwich, Cheshire.

Visiting the 600th miniature golf course on our tour.
The Jurassic Adventure Golf course in Swanage
The Crazy Golfing part of our two-week road-trip around the South West coast of England began in Swanage, Dorset on Sunday 31st May with a visit to the Jurassic Adventure Golf course at the Santa-Fe Fun Park on the seafront.

It's a well themed layout with looped music from a certain film playing throughout your round. Check out the photos from our visit below.
In our minigolf match on the course I defeated Emily with a score of 34 to 39. I managed to notch up four holes-in-one and we both managed to score an ace on the tricky looking, but pleasing to play 18th hole.
You can find the 18-hole Jurassic Adventure Golf course at the Santa-Fe Adventure Park on Swanage seafront (Mermond Place or Shore Road, BH19 1DG). The cost of a round for adults was £4.00. As a bonus the winner of the game receives a medal! That's a real nice touch.
We really enjoyed our stay in Swanage. It's a great little seaside town with plenty to see and do.
Swanage in Dorset. A lovely seaside town
Visiting and playing crazy golf courses stems from our love of travelling around the UK. We began visiting different seasides when we got our first car in 2006 and after a trip to Southsea we found the MiniatureGolfer website where there were around 600 minigolf courses listed around the UK.
Our travels have also taken us overseas and we've visited a total of 21 courses outside the UK, which means that the 600th UK-specific course visit would be made during our South West of England road-trip too! Watch This Space...
