One of our favourite minigolf courses has set-up a Hall of Fame for the 2017 summer season and it's causing a stir with holidaymakers. Mick from the Lyme Regis Mini Golf course at Lister Gardens kindly sent over the photo of the leader-board as it stood yesterday - with the course record of 30 held by Ross Hendey. The next closest score recorded was a 32 by Jake and Mick H.

In our first game on the course Emily won 36 to 40, dropping only one shot and scoring one hole-in-one for an almost 'perfect par'. As I'd lost I was determined to get a win and so we returned for another round the next day. Luckily I won the round, shooting 38 to Emily's 40.
Visit the Lyme Regis Town Council website for more information, opening times and prices. We received great service from the staff on duty on both of our visits and Emily was very pleased to hear that her score of 36 was good enough to get her name on the Wall of Fame in the kiosk!
It's a great course, with some brilliant views of the seafront and The Cobb harbour area.
In our match on the Lister Gardens Mini Golf course on the 1st June 2015 Emily scored a very good 36 - hitting one ace and dropping only one shot - to my 40 for the win.
Emily, the Lyme Regis Champion
We had to have another stroll along the prom before we left the seaside town on the 2nd June and on our walk back to the car I got my wish of a rematch. This time I won (38 to 40).
Winning at the second attempt
During the summer months the course is open from 9am to 9pm, and is just £2.50 a round for adults.
The course isn't particularly well signposted from the seafront, and can't be seen if you're below it. But if you're in Lyme Regis do check it out. As well as being called Lister Gardens the area is also known as Longmoor Gardens.

Emily in action on the course
It was nice to be able to buy a postcard that showed the course. The Salmon Cameracolour Post Card shows 'The Cobb from Longmoor Gardens' and we saw them for sale in the Tourist Information Centre and the Post Office.
There's also a grass Putting course in Lister Gardens, but on our visit it wasn't set out to play. It looked like a two-tier course and hopefully we'll give it a go on a return visit to Lyme Regis.
