Deepest underground miniature golf course in the world

The Underground Golf course at Zip World Llechwedd holds the Guinness World Record for being the "Deepest underground miniature golf course" as it is 152 metres below ground. It's a record I was part of verifying in my role as a Consultant for the Guinness World Records. Check out the Guinness World Records website and the 2024 edition of the book to see more minigolf, crazy golf and adventure golf records.

Earlier this year my minigolf rival and friend Mark 'The Horse Whisperer' Swain visited the USA very kindly brought me back scorecards from the mini golf courses he visited out there.

Mark was lucky enough to visit and play at the Vitense Golfland miniature golf courses in Madison, Wisconsin.

Hopefully we'll get to visit and play at Vitense Golfland on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour one day...

My friend and minigolf rival Mark 'The Horse Whisperer' Swain visited the USA earlier this year and was kind enough to bring me back some scorecards from the miniature golf courses he visited out there.

His first stop was at Pirate's Cove in Wisconsin Dells where there are five, yes FIVE, minigolf courses!

At the Pirate's Cove Original Adventure Golf & Family Fun Center you can choose to play Black Beard's 18, Captain Kidd's 18, Pirate's Lookout 18, Pirate's Challenge 18 or Captain Hook's 19 - or if you've got plenty of time play all five!

There are three more courses on the other side

Hopefully we'll get to visit and play at Pirate's Cove on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour one day...

Pirates Adventure Golf in Belfast, Northern Ireland

A visit to two Adventure Golf courses in Belfast.


On Sunday 1st August 2010 we headed to Pirates Adventure Golf in Dundonald, Belfast, Northern Ireland to play the final four rounds of the first-ever NIBBAL-IT minigolf competition.

We launched straight into the tournament play, tackling two rounds on each of the two course.



The 188th course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was Blackbeard's Adventure.



The 189th was The Captain's Challenge.


The 189th course played was also the 249th Minigolf Course Visit overall on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since our journey began on the 30th September 2006.








The visit was great fun and we enjoyed the whole trip to Northern Ireland to see (and compete against) our friends Mark Swain and Craig McAllister. We look forward to a future visit.

The Pirates Adventure Golf course was also the host venue for the 2006 and 2007 BMGA Irish Open tournaments.

You can find the Pirates Adventure Golf course at 111a Old Dundonald Road, Dundonald, Belfast, BT16 1XT. Check out the Pirates Adventure Golf website for more information, opening times and prices.
