A Crazy Golf postcard from Blackpool

A look at a 'new' old Crazy Golf postcard from Blackpool.

As a collector of minigolf postcards I've found quite a few over the years. Among the most photographed location in my collection is the Crazy Golf course at Blackpool's North Shore and at the recent Stockport Postcard Fair I managed to find a new view of the course.

I've got 21 postcards showing the North Shore Crazy Golf course with ten different views. Some of the cards have been postally used, while others are unused.

The card below is the earliest posted example I have of the course and was sent to Manchester on the 4th June 1969.

The latest posted card of the course was sent to Porthmadog on the 6th August 1986.

Plans are underway to bring the North Shore Crazy Golf course back to life as it's been in a dormant state for a few years now.

How the North Shore Crazy Golf course looked on the 20th May 2019

I'm looking forward to seeing and playing the bright and fresh refurbished course.

North Shore Holiday Centre / Caravan Park in Skegness - Mini Golf

A visit to the North Shore Holiday Centre and Caravan Park's Mini Golf and "The Pitch And Putt Inn".

While in Skegness, Lincolnshire we visited the North Shore Holiday Centre to play their 8-hole Miniature Golf course, however, with all the other Crazy Golf and Adventure Golf courses to play, we didn't have time to play the Pitch & Putt course at the centre.

We did however make some time to have a few drinks in the Pitch and Putt Inn!

Miniature Golf at the North Shore Holiday Centre, Caravan Park in Skegness

The first of the many minigolf and crazy golf courses we were lucky enough to visit and play in Skegness, Lincolnshire on the 20th May 2011 was at the North Shore Holiday Centre.

The Miniature Golf course became the 233rd played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since 2006.

The 8-hole layout is part of the North Shore Holiday Centre/Caravan Park, but the course is open to the general public.

Despite almost losing my ball (and only just making it back to tee-off before the time-limit expired) I defeated Emily 27-31 in our Irregular Mini Golf Tour Match-up on the testing course.

The North Shore Holiday Centre is also home to a Pitch & Putt course, and the excellent, friendly and welcoming Pitch and Putt Inn!
