The old Crazy Golf course in Llanfairfechan, Wales

A revisit to the old Crazy Golf course in Llanfairfechan, Wales.

While en route to Caernarfon last January we revisited the seaside town of Llanfairfechan in Wales.

Back on our roadtrip around the Welsh coast in 2009 we'd called in to Llanfairfechan and found only holes 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 remained of the promenade Crazy Golf course.

Strangely on this occasion more holes were visible as holes 1 and 18 could be found along with holes 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18. There were also some traces of another two holes.



Shortly after our visit in January 2018 we heard that the course on was completely demolished. Very sad to hear, but I'm very glad we visited it on two occasions.

We think this was hole 1 - for some reason it wasn't fully on show the last time we were there! We also think the planters are also covering what were once holes

The course had such a unique look to it. I'd love to see what it looked like in its prime.

From the archives - the last remnants of the Crazy Golf course in Llanfairfechan, Wales

Back in August 2009 Emily and I were on a Roadtrip around the Welsh Coast that also saw us visit and play a number of Minigolf (Minigolff) and Crazy Golf (Golff Gwyllt) courses as part of our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

After visiting Anglesey and before we hit the Great Orme mountain/Llandudno portion of our trek we paid a visit to Llanfairfechan as we'd heard there was a very interesting Minigolf course that was still (partially at least) there.

In Llanfairfechan, under the shadow of the Penmaenmawr Mountain we found the last five holes of the Minigolf course that was once in the seafront park.

Two derelict Crazy Golf courses en route to Llandudno (Abergwyngregyn & Llanfairfechan)

After the Anglesey leg of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, and before we hit the Great Orme mountain/Llandudno portion of our trek we paid a visit to Abergwyngregyn and Llanfairfechan in search of Mini and Crazy Golf courses to play.

In Abergwyngregyn, at the foot of the Aber Falls, we found the remains of both the Aber Falls Tavern and the Crazy Golf course in the garden.

The Tavern itself looked to be under-going re-development, the course however was under a boat and building materials!





In Llanfairfechan, under the shadow of the Penmaenmawr Mountain we found the last five holes of the Minigolf course that was once in the seafront park.
