A lost minigolf course - Pirate Crazy Golf at Pontins Camber Sands Holiday Park

A look at the Pirate Crazy Golf course at Pontins Camber Sands Holiday Park in East Sussex.

Last week I asked the question "Where in the world was this minigolf course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour?".

The answer was the Pirate Crazy Golf course at Pontins Camber Sands Holiday Park in Camber Sands, East Sussex.

The Pirate Crazy Golf course at Pontins Camber Sands became the 585th visited and 351st course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour when we swung by for a round in October 2014.

Pontins Camber Sands Holiday Park closed in 2023 so the course is not accessible.

Crazy Golf on Sea Road in Felixstowe, Suffolk

A look back at the crazy golf course on Sea Road in Felixstowe, Suffolk.

Last week I asked the question "Where in the world was this crazy golf course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour?".

The answer was the crazy golf course on Sea Road in Felixstowe, Suffolk.

We first visited the 12-hole crazy golf course on Sea Road in Felixstowe on the 19th of November 2006.

We played it several times before parts of it (some of the holes and obstacles) were moved to the Ocean Boulevard minigolf course along the Seafront to make up an 8-hole crazy golf course in 2010. That course is now long gone too.

Minigolf tournaments at Clambers Adventure Golf in Hastings

A look back at the 2010 BMGA Players Championships and BMGA British Open in Hastings, East Sussex.

I competed on the British Minigolf Association tour between 2007 and 2015 and many of those contests took place in the seaside town of Hastings in East Sussex.

In 2010 the BMGA Players Championships and BMGA British Open were held at Clambers Adventure Golf in White Rock Gardens (aka Planet Hastings).

I finished tied for 11th place in the 29 strong field of the BMGA Players Championships and 28th place of 56 in the BMGA British Open.

Clambers Adventure Golf is sadly now a lost course.

Where Clambers Adventure Golf sat was once a model village. After it closed it became an outdoor laser tag arena!

The Golfing Hole Adventure Golf course in Swindon, Wiltshire

A look back at The Golfing Hole Adventure Golf course in Swindon, Wiltshire.

Last week I asked the question "Where in the world was this indoor adventure golf course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour?".

The answer was The Golfing Hole Adventure Golf course in Swindon, Wiltshire.

We played the indoor adventure golf course at The Golfing Hole in Swindon on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in January 2015.

Sadly the unique factory-themed venue is now a lost minigolf course.

Crazy Golf at Pontins Prestatyn Sands Holiday Park in Wales

Looking back at a lost minigolf course.

Last week I asked "Where in the world was this crazy golf course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour?".

The answer was at Pontins Prestatyn Sands Holiday Park in Wales.

We first played the course in 2014 and revisited it in 2017 and 2018.

Sadly the Pontins Prestatyn Sands Holiday Park has now closed down.

We're glad we got to stay at the holiday camp and play the course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour when we did.

Minigolfing underneath a rollercoaster

A look back at a crazy golf course at Fantasy Island in Ingoldmells, Skegness, Lincolnshire, England.

One of the fun and intriguing places we had a game of minigolf was UNDERNEATH a rollercoaster at the Fantasy Island theme park in Ingoldmells, Skegness, Lincolnshire, England back in May 2011!

Sadly this particular crazy golf course is a lost course. Fantasy Island is now home to an 18-hole course called Lava Creek Adventure Golf. It's a course we are yet to visit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Crazy Golf course at Gynn Gardens in Blackpool

A look at a lost crazy golf course in Blackpool, Lancashire.

We visited the crazy golf course at Gynn Gardens in Blackpool back in September 2009.

It's now a lost course as it was removed at some point between October 2009 and November 2012.

Do you have memories of playing the crazy golf course at Gynn Gardens?

It was of a similar design to the crazy golf course nearby on Princess Parade and in the town's Stanley Park.

Gynn Gardens was also home to a grass putting miniature golf course.

Crazy Golf at Holyhead Town Park in Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey, Wales

A look at the crazy golf course at Holyhead Town Park in Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey back in 2009.

We enjoyed a big minigolf tour of the Welsh coast in August 2009 where we visited 32 courses in nine days. One of those was the crazy golf course at Holyhead Town Park in Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey, Wales.

Looking online the course isn't there anymore and was removed sometime between July 2014 and December 2021.

We're glad we had the chance to play the unique layout on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour when we did.

In our minigolf match-up Emily won with a round of 53 to my score of 66. It's still one of the largest winning margins between us in the last 20 years!
