Minigolf guest blog posts from around the world

We've now received minigolf guest blog posts from 31 countries - and international waters!

It's brilliant receiving photos, information and updates from - and about - crazy golf, minigolf, miniature golf putting, pitch & putt, adventure golf, and Putt-Putt courses around the world. There's such a wide-range and variety of courses out there.

This week we've received photos from courses in the USA, Belgium and Poland.

During that time Emily and I have met so many people and made some great friends, many of whom have contributed to our travels by telling us about new courses, letting us know about course refurbs, or by sending over photos of courses they've been too. We've also received excellent photos of miniature golf courses from our family, friends, our networks, and course owners, managers, designers and builders themselves.

Over the last 20 years of blogging we've published guest blog posts about courses in England, Wales, Scotland, Belgium, Bermuda, Canada, Croatia, the Faroe Islands, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guernsey, Indonesia, Italy, Kosovo, Latvia, Luxembourg, Morocco, the Netherlands, Oman, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain (including Lanzarote, Tenerife and Majorca), Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye, the USA, on the high seas onboard the MSC Opera cruise ship (sailing from Italy - to Montenegro - to Greece), and even North Korea!

What makes it extra special is that these guest blog posts have captured a course in a moment of time, and in some cases such as pop-ups and courses that are now closed - courses that we'll never be able to visit or play.

It's wonderful seeing the variety of courses around the world, and also how many places you can find a course to have a round.

Some of the courses our friends and family have been to are far flung, and even some of those in the British Isles are in places off the beaten path or in island locations we haven't had the chance to reach yet.

We're looking forward to receiving more guest posts in the future.

Do get in touch if you see or play a course and would like it added as a guest blog post.

Mini Golf Mosir in Warsaw, Poland

A look at a mini golf course in Warsaw, Poland.

Many thanks to our friend, minigolf rival - and my sometimes minigolf doubles team-mate - Kevin Moseley for sending us these snaps of a minigolf course he spotted on a recent trip to Warsaw, Poland.

He spotted the Mini Golf Mosir course at Bar Plażowy (a beach-themed bar) opposite the Polish National Football Stadium.

There are two months until Miniature Golf Day 2026.

This year Miniature Golf Day will take place on Monday 21st September.

Minigolf courses we've played on Miniature Golf Days in previous years

There are two 'miniature golf days' each year.

National Miniature Golf Day is always on the second Saturday in May.
The other minigolf day, Miniature Golf Day, is always on the 21st September.

Mini Golf at Selby Park in Selby, North Yorkshire

A look at the minigolf course in Selby Park.

We visited the mini golf course at Selby Park in Selby, North Yorkshire on a trip to the town on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

The 18-hole outdoor mini golf course was the 1,126th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since 2006.

A look at the Mini Golf Grass Putting course at Knaresborough's Castle Yard.

Last week I asked the question "Where in the world was this grass putting course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour?".

Mini Golf Grass Putting at Knaresborough's Castle Yard

The answer was the Mini Golf Grass Putting course at Knaresborough Castle in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire.

The course was the first - and to date, only - one we've ever played that had a sallyport and secret tunnel running underneath it!

The tunnel was built in the late 13th or mid 14th century and was large enough for a small group of armed men to leave the castle secretly at night and launch an attack on any besieging troops.
