Mini Golf at Lightwater Valley Theme Park

An old Crazy Golf postcard and a new Adventure Golf course.

I recently noticed that the Lightwater Valley Theme Park in North Yorkshire has opened a brand new Jurassic Adventure Golf course ready for the 2015 season.

Our friend Emma lives in nearby Northallerton and visited the theme park last year. She let us know they had a Crazy Golf course there and we'd added it to our places to visit list.

As a fan of all things miniature golf-related I've collected quite a few mini and crazy golf postcards over the years. One of my recent finds was a late 1970's card from Lightwater Valley showing the concrete Crazy Golf course being played.

A postcard showing one of the old Crazy Golf courses at Lightwater Valley Theme Park. The card is postally unused and undated. The reverse shows the text 'LIGHTWATER VALLEY' and the address, along with 'No.7'. There is no date on the card, but with the amount of flares on show it's got to be from the late 1970s

We look forward to visiting and playing the new 18-hole course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

More information on the Jurassic Adventure Golf course can be found on the Lightwater Valley website.
