The Ham and Egger Files: Mead Open Farm

A look back at minigolf courses played on this day.

I've managed to play a few different minigolf courses on the 18th October in previous years.

On Thursday 18th October 2012 I played an intriguing Mini-Golf course that had been set-up in Covent Garden in London by the golf and knitwear brand Lyle & Scott as part of Wool Week. The course was the 307th played and 511th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

On Friday 18th October 2013 I visited the 12-hole Putt in the Park Minigolf course at Wandsworth Park in London for a ‘friendly’ round of Crazy Golf against friends and minigolf rivals Gareth Holmes, Alan Norman and Paul O'Connor. The course was the 323rd played and 538th visited on our travels.

On Saturday 18th October 2014 we headed to Mead Open Farm in Billington, Bedfordshire for a morning of fun on the farm. And some Crazy Golf. The course was the 350th we've played and 584th visited on our tour.

On Thursday 18th October 2016 I was in Telford so had a look at the Adventure Golf course at Telford Town Park. Unfortunately it wasn't open so I didn't get a game. The course was the 716th visited.

We've now visited 925 miniature golf courses since September 2006.

Fingers crossed I'll get another round in today.

The 9-hole course at Mead Open Farm was the last of the 'local' courses for us to play in Bedfordshire and it was worth the wait. We first heard about the farm about thirteen years ago when there was a very catchy local radio advert for it. We were singing it to ourselves on the drive there!

Play of the Crazy Golf course is included in the entry price and you can have as many goes as you like! Check out photos of the 'Swedish Felt B-run' style of miniature golf course below.
