A look at an old miniature golf postcard from Hotel Palma Nova in Mallorca, Spain.

Looking online it doesn't look like the hotel's course is still there.

This old minigolf postcard shows a course at the Hotel Jamaica in Magaluf. It was posted to London, however the postmark and date of sending isn't clear.

Looking online, Hotel Jamaica closed in 2009 and was demolished in 2016.

Mini Golf at Hotel Palma Nova, Mallorca

We found some old miniature golf postcards at a collector's fair in Stockport yesterday, including this very nice one showing the minigolf course at the Hotel Palma Nova in Mallorca.

Emily and I haven't been to Mallorca yet, but fellow Crazy World of Minigolf Tour member Christopher Gottfried has. He visited the minigolf course at Vista Alegre in Porto Cristo in 2015.

Looking at maps of the area it doesn't look like the hotel's course is still there. However, there is a large minigolf course at Golf Fantasia in Palma Nova.

A look at the minigolf course at the Lagotel in Playa de Muro, Majorca.

Many thanks to Jim Holden for sending me these snaps of a "retro" and "slightly rustic" minigolf course while on holiday in Majorca.

The 18-hole miniature golf course in the grounds of the Lagotel in Playa de Muro, Majorca.

My brother and charter member of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour Christopher Gottfried also found a 'rustic' looking minigolf course in Majorca a few years ago, it was at Vista Alegre in Porto Cristo.

The minigolf course at Restaurante Vista Alegre in Porto Cristo

Charter member of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour Christopher Gottfried has come up trumps again, as on a recent holiday to Majorca he managed to find an unplayable Minigolf course!

An interesting looking hole

The layout was at the Restaurante Vista Alegre in Porto Cristo.

Restaurant, minigolf and pool

That's quite a big boat obstacle

This looks like a tricky hole to putt on

There's a great sea view from the minigolf course at Porto Cristo

The last course Christopher spotted on his travels was the Crazy Golf at Ladram Bay in Devon, that layout also had a magnificent sea view.
