Pit-Pat Crazy Snooker Scorecard and a minigolf sign from Littlehampton

A couple of items from the Crazy Golf Museum's collection.

Here's a scorecard from the Pit-Pat Crazy Snooker course Littlehampton, West Sussex.

We played the course in 2014, two years after first visiting it. It was superb fun.

Unfortunately the course at Western Putting on Banjo Road in Littlehampton is long gone, along with the Crazy Golf and Putting layouts that were there too.

Many thanks to Anthony Pope for donating the items to the Crazy Golf Museum.

Buccaneer Bay Adventure Golf course in Littlehampton

Playing at Buccaneer Bay Adventure Golf in Norfolk Gardens, Littlehampton.

While we were down on the south coast last year we revisited the seaside town of Littlehampton and called in to Norfolk Gardens for a game on the Buccaneer Bay Adventure Golf course.

Playing hole 4 as 'His Excellency' Anthony Pope looks on

The course was the 381st played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in 2015 and I first visited it in 2012. We've now been to 948 courses since September 2006.

Since our first visits the course has been given a refurb, with fresh felt, new borders and a new pirate-theme.

Hole 9

The 9-hole course is really really big and has some very long holes on it.

Check out the course website for more information.

The Buccaneer Bay Adventure Golf course is one of the largest miniature golf courses we've played and some of the holes are really long.

And holes out for a 2

A view of Anthony teeing-off on hole 4 - look how long the hole is!

In our minigolf match-up on the 9-hole layout I managed to win with a score of 28. Anthony was runner-up on 32, while Emily took third place with a round of 34 having scored a 7 on the last hole.

Unfortunately we didn't have time for a ride on the miniature railway in Norfolk Gardens on this occasion.

Check out the Tivoli Lifestyle website for details of the Buccaneer Bay Adventure Golf course and the other minigolf courses they operate in Littlehampton and Bognor Regis.

There's plenty to do in Norfolk Gardens

The work to upgrade the course and transform it into Buccaneer Bay Adventure Golf was done by the team at HM Adventure Golf.

Buccaneer Bay Adventure Golf in Littlehampton

Buccaneer Bay Adventure Golf reopening in Littlehampton.

The team at ISS Lifestyle have got in touch to tell me the refurbished Adventure Golf course at Norfolk Gardens in Littlehampton is reopening at 11am on Tuesday 11th April. The course is now pirate-themed and called Buccaneer Bay Adventure Golf.

The course became the 381st played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour when we visited Littlehampton in July 2015. I'd first visited the course out of season in 2012.

Norfolk Gardens had one of the longest minigolf holes we've played on our travels!

Over the last few months the team at HM Adventure Golf have given the course a substantial and piratey makeover.

Playing the Norfolk Gardens Adventure Golf course in Littlehampton

Littlehampton has some brilliant places to play minigolf, crazy golf, adventure golf, grass putting and Pit-Pat. So it's great to see investment in leisure facilities.

Check out the ISS Lifestyle and HM Adventure Golf websites for more information.

Adventure Golf in Littlehampton's Norfolk Gardens

A revisit to the miniature golf courses in Littlehampton.

While in West Sussex for the Splash Point Open minigolf tournament at the course in Worthing we stayed over in East Preston so that we could revisit nearby Littlehampton.

The course has some nice views of the sea too

I first visited the seaside resort in 2012 when I found all of the courses to be closed, while on a revisit in 2014 we managed to play Pit-Pat at Western Putting on Banjo Road and the Sharksville Adventure Golf course at Harbour Park.

At Sharksville

Pit-Pat Crazy Snooker - what a game!

On Saturday 25th July we managed to play the Adventure Golf course at Norfolk Gardens. The holes there are MASSIVE!

Look how loooooooong the first hole is!

In our match-up we drew with scores of 29.

Emily on the very crazy second hole

The course became the 381st played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and we've now visited 661 in total. Check out the photos below to see some of the interesting holes.

 

A little bit of clever editing

Looking back through our tour records I noticed that the Littlehampton course is very similar in design and build to the Adventure Golf course in Scarborough - 55th course we played.

A view of the Adventure Golf course in Scarborough - it's very similar to the one in Littlehampton

Hopefully on our next visit we'll have more time, and better weather, so we can get to play the Swedish Felt Crazy Golf and grass Putting courses there.

The Putting Green at the Western Putting site

We noticed that the Swedish Felt Mini Golf course at Western Putting has some new felt. Note the Pit-Pat course standing in the middle of the Crazy Golf layout

There's also a Pitch & Putt course at Norfolk Gardens. And a Miniature Railway!

The train arrived while we were playing our round

Hopefully we'll have time for a go on the train next time we're in town

Many of the minigolf courses and leisure facilities in Littlehampton (and nearby Bognor Regis) are operated by Inspire Leisure. We've always found them in good condition and received very good service. Check out the Inspire Leisure website for more info.

Norfolk Gardens is also home to the Putting Green Café
