Scarborough's North Bay Crazy Golf - the 900th course we visited

We visited our 900th minigolf course back in June 2019.

At our 900th minigolf course!

We made the landmark 900th course visit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour when we had a round at the North Bay Mini Golf course in Scarborough, North Yorkshire on the 7th June 2019.

We were staying near Peasholm Park and had seen a number of the other courses in the North Bay area shortly after arriving in the town. As it was a Friday - and a rainy one at that - none were open.

While walking along the clifftop we spied the North Bay Crazy Golf course and I couldn't run down the hill quickly enough to get a closer look at the 12-hole course.

Luckily for us the course was open

It's always brilliant to find unique courses and the North Bay Crazy Golf course was just that. There were some very nice hole-in-one opportunities and a few tricky second putts on the colourful course. What was really great to see was that the borders had felt on them that allowed skilful shots to be rewarded.

  

In our round I shot a 24 to take the win, with Emily scoring a 26 and our friend Cat Patterson hitting a 33.

Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

The North Bay Crazy Golf course in Scarborough was the 900th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006. When our travels began there were around 600 courses in the UK.

As at January 2025 there are approximately 1,370 minigolf courses around the UK and British Isles (including Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man, and other islands). This includes public courses, as well as those at pay to enter attractions, holiday parks, hotels and other 'non-standard' locations. And there are new courses being planned, in development, and opening all the time!

We've now been to a total of 1,083 miniature golf courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, with 1,022 of them in the British Isles. Our travels have been recognised by the Guinness World Records, and I'm a record holder for "Most miniature golf courses visited" (902 at the time of going to press). Check out the Guinness World Records 2024 book and the Guinness World Records website to see a lot more minigolf records too!

Of the original list of 600 course we've still got to visit 39 of the public courses. In addition there are a further 150 courses at pay to enter attractions, hotels and holiday parks that we've not yet been to.

A Crazy Golf postcard from Filey

A look at an old Crazy Golf course postcard from Filey, North Yorkshire.

This particular postcard was sent from Scarborough to Thirsk at 10.15am on the 29th August 1980.

Minigolf Postcard - Crazy Golf, Filey. F.0226. Printed & Published by E. T. W. DENNIS & SONS LTD., SCARBOROUGH. Posted from Scarborough to Thirsk at 10.15am on 29 Aug 1980

There's still a minigolf course at the same location in Filey. We played a previous incarnation of the current layout back in 2008 when it was the 9-hole Ocean Drive Crazy Golf course.

The course was refurbished in 2023 and we're yet to return for a game on the new layout.

Also in 2023 we were immortalised on a piece of Filey artwork (that was also turned into a postcard) by Leeds-based artist Jack Hurley (aka Loud Ribs) as part of his tongue-in-cheek, affectionate and characterful Rubbish Seaside 'Dystopia-on-Sea' collection!

Holey Molies Mini Golf in Skelton-in-Cleveland, near Saltburn-by-the-Sea

A look back at our visit to play the Holey Molies Crazy Golf course in Skelton-in-Cleveland.

In September 2018 we reached another BIG minigolf milestone as we played at our 500th miniature golf course since our travels began in September 2006.

The 18-hole indoor Mini Golf course at Holey Molies Leisure Complex in Skelton-in-Cleveland, Saltburn-by-the-Sea, North Yorkshire was the 845th visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 807th in the British Isles.

It was brilliant to finally play the Holey Molies minigolf course as we'd heard so much about it since it opened.

One of the main things we'd heard was that the Mini Golf course at Holey Molies Leisure Complex boasted the 'World's Longest Mini Golf Hole' - measuring in at 264 feet!

Hole 1 - the 'longest minigolf hole in the world'. You had to start off upstairs, teeing-off up a ramp and then the ball is carried along the long viaduct before being deposited on the green

Emily holing out on the first  

 

We'll need to revisit the course one day as it's undergone several updates and changes over the years. They also create a festive-theme for Christmas, that'd be fun to play.

The winner of our match got a very nice Holey Molies Mini Golf medal

Check out the Holey Molies Leisure Complex website for more information on how the course looks now, details of upcoming events, opening times and prices.

Holey Molies even had its own beer!
