Minigolf in Leeds

A look at minigolf, crazy golf, adventure golf and crazy pool courses in Leeds, West Yorkshire.

The minigolf boom.

Mini Golf (also known as Crazy Golf and Adventure Golf) is an incredibly popular leisure and sporting activity for all ages, and we're seeing an exciting boom in new courses opening up across the UK.

From the seaside to the city centre.

While minigolf was traditionally a seaside summer pastime in the UK, the last decade or so has seen its growth into more urban settings, with many venues now catering to a late night audience. It can be the perfect activity for groups of friends, families, and young and old alike. The game continues to evolve and captivate players all year round.

Looking for a minigolf course in Leeds.

If you're looking for a place to play a game of miniature golf in Leeds, check out this list below.

Adventure Golf.

• Adventure Golf at Mission Out at Tingley Garden Centre - an outdoor 9-hole adventure golf course.

Crazy Golf.

• Crazier Golf at Boom Battle Bar - an indoor 9-hole mini golf course.
• Junkyard Golf at The Light on The Headrow - three indoor 9-hole crazy golf courses.
• Roxy Golf at Roxy Ball Room Boar Lane - an indoor 9-hole crazy golf course.

Crazy Pool (think of a cross between pool and crazy golf).

• Crazy Pool at King Pins at the White Rose Shopping Centre - an indoor crazy pool course.
• Crazy Pool at Roxy Ball Room Merrion Street - an indoor crazy pool course.
• Crazy Pool at Roxy Ball Room Boar Lane - an indoor crazy pool course.

Minigolf.

Have we missed any minigolf courses in Leeds? Do let us know.

Your favourite minigolf course.

Where's your favourite place for a round of minigolf in Leeds?

Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We often visit Leeds and have visited most of the courses there on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We're looking forward to a return visit to Leeds to see what's new.

Planning to visit a Mini Golf course - check ahead of time.

Where possible please do check that the course is still there and open before travelling to it. The online presence of courses is improving, and the way businesses market themselves is always evolving, so it's becoming somewhat easier to find the opening and closing times of courses. That said, we've spent the last two decades attempting to play as many courses as possible, and even we've ended up finding courses to be derelict, abandoned or unplayable when we've arrived!

Kaboodle Mini-Golf in Derry, Northern Ireland

Finding out more about Kaboodle Mini-Golf in Derry, Northern Ireland.

Kaboodle Mini-Golf opened on the Strand Road in Derry / Londonderry, Northern Ireland in May this year, and the venue is proving popular.

It was nice chatting to the team at Kaboodle about Miniature Golf Day, and they kindly sent me some photos of the Kaboodle Mini-Golf course to share on the blog. It looks like a fantastic setting and layout for a game or two. Emily and I are looking forward to a trip over to Northern Ireland again in the future.

A rollercoaster minigolf journey!

Looking back at the crazy golf course at Fantasy Island in Ingoldmells, Skegness, Lincolnshire, England.

We've been to some weird and wonderful miniature golf courses in some crazy locations over the last 19 years.

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!

A lost minigolf course.

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 need to visit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

At that point the 12-hole outdoor crazy golf course at the Fantasy Island theme park was the 240th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We've now been to 1,099 courses overall in the last 19 years, with 1,038 of those locations in the British Isles.

Within the British Isles Emily and I have been to courses in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Jersey and the Isle of Man. We've also travelled to minigolf courses in twelve countries - Australia, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Finland, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Poland, Singapore, Spain (including Lanzarote and Majorca), Sweden and the USA.

Adventure Mini-Golf at the Blauer See recreation area in Garbsen, Germany

A look at the Adventure Mini-Golf course at the Blauer See recreation area in Garbsen, Hannover, Germany.

There's a 14-hole Adventure Mini-Golf course at the Blauer See recreation area in Garbsen, Hannover, Germany.

Many thanks to our friend and minigolf rival James Trubridge for sending over these photos of the Adventure Mini-Golf course at the Blauer See recreation area in Garbsen, Hannover, Germany he and his family visited on their summer holiday this year.

It's fantastic seeing different miniature golf courses around the world.

Miniature Golf on Constitution Hill in Aberystwyth

There's a crazy golf course at the top of Constitution Hill in Aberystwyth, Wales.

Our friend and minigolf rival David Hartley recently found that there's a minigolf course on Constitution Hill in Aberystwyth, Wales.

The miniature golf is a 9-hole outdoor course and is a Swedish Felt B-Run type of layout.

It looks superb.

Checking out the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway website you can see a nice overhead view of the course, hill and seaside town below. A really great touch is that there's a solid fence built around the minigolf course. This will help with playability, as we've found that wind can be a real challenge when playing minigolf on top of hills and up mountains!

Find out more.

Visit the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway website for more information.

Visiting Constitution Hill in Aberystwyth on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We visited Aberystwyth on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in 2009 and it's long overdue for us to revisit the town and Constitution Hill.

Access to the hilltop - and minigolf course - is via a funicular railway!
