Many happy returns to the Crazy Golf Museum as it marks its 16th birthday today.

I set-up the museum with Crazy Golf legend, the late Tim 'Ace Man' Davies back on the 15th July 2010.

We recently attended the Power Hall: After Hours event at the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester - and I spent a lot of the evening in the Power Up exhibit playing a lot of old videogames on original hardware.

There are plans to create a mini golf course on Saundersfoot Harbour’s Coastal Schooner

The Coastal Schooner is a replica of a traditional vessel which would have operated in the area in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The schooner is home to a museum and the new indoor mini golf course would become part of the attraction.

Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

The mini golf course onboard the Saundersfoot Harbour Coastal Schooner would be a new one for us to visit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We visited Saundersfoot on our travels back in 2009 where we played a Crazy Golf course just off the main promenade, and found a minigolf putting course at The Merlewood Hotel.

Putt U Miniature Golf in Center Valley, Pennsylvania, USA

A Crazy Golf Museum blog post about Putt U Miniature Golf in Center Valley, Pennsylvania, USA.


Putt U Miniature Golf in Center Valley, Pennsylvania, USA

As the Curator of the Crazy Golf Museum and a BIG fan of minigolf it's always wonderful to see, hear from and learn about different minigolf courses around the world.

One of the first courses we found out about in the USA when our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour travels began in 2006 was Putt U Miniature Golf in Center Valley, Pennsylvania, USA - thanks in part to how active they are at promoting their venue and the wider game and sport of minigolf.

So it was marvellous to recently receive a very nice package of minigolf goodies from Randy Bloch at Putt U Miniature Golf!

Minigolf items, merch and ephemera from Putt U Miniature Golf

Putt U's two mini-golf courses.

Putt U Miniature Golf in Center Valley, Pennsylvania is home to two 18-hole outdoor mini-golf courses - the Blue course and the Red course.

The Putt U course scorecards are superb examples - they're high quality, colourful, comprehensive rules, and packed with stats, facts and information!

The history of Putt U Miniature Golf.

Putt U Miniature Golf was established in 1998 and has consistently topped the rankings as the best miniature golf course both locally and in Pennsylvania. The venue has also hosted two National championships and is a real test of putting skill for pro and non-pro players alike - with 20 hazards on each layout.

Mini-Golf balls from Putt U Miniature Golf in Center Valley, Pennsylvania, USA

Each course has an official par of 57 and also has three different tee-off points - one for kids, one for 'normal' play, and one for the pro players!

The Blue course measures slightly longer than the Red course at 1,192 feet to 1,172 feet, with both of the 18-hole courses having a course record of 39 shots.

Minigolf balls, pencils and more.

Check out these photos of the Putt U Miniature Golf items and ephemera Randy kindly sent to us.

A BIG thank you to Randy and all the team at Putt U for thinking of us at the museum. It's brilliant to get an insight into the courses and we hope to visit and play at Putt U in the future.

Find out more about Putt U.

Please do check out the Putt U Miniature Golf website, and give the business a follow on FacebookInstagram and X. And subscribe to the Putt U YouTube Channel

One of the things I really like about Putt U, is how they regularly post updates and messages on the sign that is prominently displayed outside the course. And they share these on their social media too.

Have you played at Putt U? If you have, please let us know what you thought of the courses and what you scored there?

We're looking forward to visiting and playing at Putt U Miniature Golf on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.
