We managed to have a game on the Crazy Golf course at Glebe Park in Bowness-on-Windermere during our short break in the Lake District earlier this summer.

In our round on the 9-hole Crazy Golf course Emily won with a resounding 26 to 33 scoreline.

Obstacle Golf at Hope Park in Keswick

A look at the Obstacle Golf course at Hope Park in Keswick, Cumbria.


We've just returned from a long weekend in the Lake District where we revisited some courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

One of them was the Obstacle Golf course at Hope Park in Keswick, Cumbria.

There's also a grass Putting layout and a Pitch & Putt at Hope Park (and Boules) and there are some wonderful views of the Skiddaw mountain from the courses.

Mini Golf at Hope Park in Keswick

A visit to the miniature golf courses at Hope Park in Keswick, Cumbria.


Our mammoth minigolf roadtrip in April 2012 took us to Keswick in Cumbria and the three miniature golf courses at Hope Park.

The lovely weather meant the Obstacle Golf course was incredibly busy, with queues of people lining the course.



As we were pushed for time we had a game on the 18-hole Putting green where I picked up a one-shot victory over Emily 48 to 49. Although by the time we started playing our round we noticed the players thinning out on the Obstacle Golf. It's a course to return to in the future.

The courses were the 466th, 467th and 468th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, with the Putting course becoming the 288th played.

Playing the minigolf course at the Lake District Visitor Centre in Brockhole, Cumbria.


During our minigolf roadtrip back in April 2012 we swung by the Lake District Visitor Centre in Brockhole, Cumbria for a game on the Crazy Golf course there.

The Brockhole Crazy Golf course became the 286th played and 461st visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. There was also supposed to be a grass Putting course at the Lake District Visitors Centre, however this wasn't yet open for the season.
